Here's a website that lists charging stations in VT I'm not familiar with Teslas but do they need a specific type of charging station vs other electric cars?

Can’t think of any

One in the Healthy Living parking lot in Williston

One in Manchester

Pretty sure Rutland has some chargers in the Stewart's parking lot on woodstock ave

Brattleboro has a tesla charging lot.

There's a supercharger in Brattleboro if you need to top up before you head to the mountains. Looks out of the way, but remember VT is a small state. Bennington also has DCFCs if you have a CCS adapter. Plugshare also shows multiple level 2 j1772 chargers in Ludlow, which I think will be close to your destination. Bottom line is you don't need to worry about it, just do a little planning and make sure you're using plugshare.

Tesla makes Tesla specific super chargers from my understanding. Faster charge time, less waiting around

How are you not finding Tesla chargers? If you use the phone app, the website or the in-car app, you'll see several super chargers. There are 2 in the Burlington area, one in Montpilier, one in Rutland, one in St Johnsbury, one in Battleboro, and probably others. If you settle for level 2, you'll find many more.

Do you have the CCS adapter? There are a few non-tesla DC chargers at tourist areas, like Ben & Jerry's HQ and Alchemist Brewery, and probably others closer to your destination.

Coming from NJ, the Battleboro supercharger is probably the closest to your destination. Top off there, then use level 2 destination chargers when you can find them. Worst case, plug in to a regular outlet overnight, you'll still get ~4 miles of range per hour.

There’s a row of chargers in Brattleboro just off exit 1 in the market 32 plaza

They haven't found any because posting to reddit has been the effort put forward so far.

Jersyites... just drive like you live in Vermont, not New Jersy.

If you're coming up I-91, there are superchargers in West Lebanon NH, which is just a few minutes out of your way.

Don't. My husband drove to VT in a Polstar (all electric) and had issues. Pretty much everywhere he went at least one charger was out of commission. If you have an alternative car, take it instead.

They come with the adapter for standard level 2 chargers, and adapters can be purchased for any 220v outlet as well.

Most major towns have chargers, I was visiting family in the Northeast Kingdom last year and had no problems charging in St J, Newport, and Littleton. With a 300 mile range, the real issue was that I couldn’t charge overnight at my family’s place, so I had to plan a trip out two to town in order to charge. Not that the local businesses complained.

Between Saratoga and Mt Okemo you won’t find any super chargers but there are destination chargers scattered about (at least one in Manchester at the taconic hotel). There are also lots of level two chargers that use the J 1776 connection in a variety of towns. I recommend using the pkugshare or ChargePoint apps to find them (green mountain power owns a lot that are charge point).

Rutland will be your closest super charger to okemo.

There are destination chargers in the Okemo parking lots. https://www.plugshare.com/location/175175

I heard when they burst into flames the battery supercharges, so just wait for that to inevitably happen

EDIT: Damn, lot of Elon Musk fanatics in the Vermont sub huh?

The "faster charge time" thing WAS true in 2012, but is not anymore. Hasn't been for a few years now.

There are Tesla chargers in the parking garage under the hotel at Okemo ski resort .

In front of the hotel in the parking lot in front of the icehouse there are some in the open parking lot there also.

I used to work as maintenance there.

Don’t even own a Tesla and I knew this.

Driving a Tesla (or for that matter any EV) anywhere in VT is fairly straightforward. There's superchargers to get you wherever you're going (Brattleboro, Rutland, Lebanon NH, Berlin, South Burlington, Williston, St. Johnsbury) and plenty of L2 charging while you're sleeping, having lunch, etc.

There's also a bunch of 50-100kW CCS chargers. I'd recommend getting the Tesla CCS adapter as another option as there's often one of those right on your route but not a Supercharger, especially as you get into the weeds a bit.

Your app should help and I haven’t heard people complain about lines at charging stations. The one near me in northern VT is usually empty.

There will be more stations each time you come up as the state wants to end the sale of NEW gas-powered cars by 2026z

By the way, if you want to blend in with the locals just refer to it as Okemo. No one I know calls it Mt Okemo!

How is 91 between Saratoga and Okemo?

Thanks for clarifying...i don't own an EV but I'm aware of some charging stations in the area. I wasn't sure if they were universal to all EVs

Not for someone going through Saratoga, obviously. But OP was coming from NJ, and one reasonable route to VT is taking I-84 to Hartford CT, then I-91 north.

Who told you that? Your brother Darryl or your other brother Darryl?

There is a ChargePoint station located at 7 Depot St in Proctorsville right by Outer Limits Brewing.

He’s coming to Vermont via Saratoga was my take but maybe I misunderstood.

No they catch fire if you bump into something from the side

Lebanon is an hour north of the exit to ludlow on 91

Probably not going to drive to Burlington, Montpelier, or St. Johnsbury to charge on a trip from New Jersey to Mt. Okemo, now are we?

A few companies are deploying 150 kW now, and 350 kW stations are coming, but Tesla's 250 kW stations are still years ahead in terms of count and speed.

I have a feeling there’s no way this person will blend in at all
