Corsicana — Owners of the Tesla electric vehicle in Texas can now travel freely through the Golden Triangle, thanks to the opening of two new charging stations.
Navarro County is host to one of the “Supercharger” stations that was officially opened Tuesday at the Collin Street Bakery Interstate 45 location. A second charging station was opened Tuesday afternoon in Huntsville.
“This officially opens the ‘Texas Triangle,’” said Daniel Witt of Tesla in conducting Tuesday’s ceremony on the bakery parking lot. “We’re pleased to have these open for Tesla customers to travel free throughout these routes.”
The 120-Kilovolt charging stations work exclusively on the Tesla electric sedan, providing ample recharging of the vehicle’s battery system in the time it takes to have lunch, Witt said. The service is provided free to those customers.

“Our Superchargers are roughly 125 to 150 miles apart, so you have adequate range to get from Supercharger to Supercharger comfortably,” Georgeson added.
