Know Plano.
Plano is the largest city in Collin County, with a small portion in Denton County, and one of the principal suburbs of Dallas-Fort Worth. The 2020 census counted 285,494 residents. Its name comes from the Spanish word for flat, a reference to the terrain settlers found there. The City of Plano's history summary says the community began in the early 1840s, when small groups of settlers from Kentucky and Tennessee arrived on Collin County's blackland prairie. Today Plano is boxed in by major roads: US 75 to the east, the Dallas North Tollway to the west, the President George Bush Turnpike to the south and the Sam Rayburn Tollway to the north, with Preston Road running through the middle. Legacy West, on land where a water tower stood until 2015, anchors the corporate west side. EV calls here usually involve tollways, office garages and shopping districts.

Three ways we help.
Plano climate, by the numbers.
The Plano article records a high of 118 degrees Fahrenheit in 1936 and a low of minus 7 in 1930. Summers are long and hot, meaning cooling demand is the usual range factor. Winter cold is less frequent but still reduces efficiency when it arrives.

Plano roads we cover.
Central Expressway forms the eastern edge. Southbound toward Dallas it feeds the High Five interchange, so watch range before committing.
The western boundary and a main corporate commute route. Tollways have fewer easy exits to stop on, so leave margin.
The Bush Turnpike (SH 190) runs along the south and the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) along the north. Both carry fast traffic with limited shoulders.
When a Plano charger lets you down.
Plano has many chargers in office parks and shopping centers, but they can be restricted to tenants or full during work hours. If the one you counted on is unavailable and you are low, getting on a tollway to reach another may not be wise. Park safely and call.
Range in Plano.
Tollway boundaries
Three of Plano's four sides are tolled roads. Exits are spaced out and stopping on the shoulder is risky. If the pack drops low, exit at the next opportunity rather than pushing on.
Corporate garages
Legacy West and other office parks have large garages with access gates. Tell dispatch whether a badge is needed and which entrance to use.
Flat but busy
The terrain is flat, which helps efficiency, but rush-hour traffic on US 75 and the Tollway cuts into range through slow speeds and climate control.
Railroad town origins
The article says the Houston and Central Texas Railway reached Plano in 1872, and the town incorporated the following year. Downtown Plano grew around that rail line, and DART light rail now follows a similar path: the Red Line opened stations in Downtown Plano and at Parker Road in 2002. If you stop near either station, give dispatch the station name and the side of the tracks.
Corporate west side
Plano is home to headquarters for Toyota Motor North America, Frito-Lay, JCPenney and Pizza Hut, and the article notes Liberty Mutual built a campus a few blocks east of Toyota's. Legacy West was built partly on the site of a 178-foot water tower demolished in 2015. These campuses have private garages with access control. If your car stops inside one, ask building security how a service vehicle should enter before calling.
Malls and parks
Plano has two malls, The Shops at Willow Bend and The Shops at Legacy, plus Haggard Park downtown, which hosts AsiaFest each May. Holiday and festival weekends fill nearby lots and chargers. Arrive with enough charge to leave without relying on a free stall, and note your entrance number when you park.
Light transit use
The article says about one percent of Plano residents use DART, meaning nearly everyone drives. A dead EV here usually cannot be swapped for a quick bus ride, which makes a nearby top-up the practical choice over waiting for a tow.
Big employers, big lunch rushes
JPMorgan Chase also chose Legacy West for a large employee campus, according to the article. Thousands of office workers in a small area means lunch-hour and evening traffic on the nearby tollways. If you work in one of these campuses and your car is low, call before the evening rush rather than after you are stuck in it. A technician can often reach a garage more easily mid-afternoon.
Downtown revival
The article says Plano has worked to draw retail back to its historic downtown as well as Legacy West, partly to boost sales tax revenue. Weekend events there bring visitors who park on the street, so give dispatch the cross street.
Job growth on the west side
When Liberty Mutual announced its Plano campus in 2015, the article says it was expected to bring about 5,000 jobs. Add the Toyota and JPMorgan Chase campuses nearby, and a few square miles hold a very large daytime workforce. Visitors should ask building security about garage access and charging before relying on a stall there.

Dallas North Tollway southbound
Polestar 2
Imagine a commuter who skipped charging at work and now sees 4 miles left near the Bush Turnpike. Exiting to a lot and calling, they would get a mobile charge for the rest of the drive.
Garage at Legacy West
Mercedes EQE
Imagine a shopper returning to a car that will not unlock after a long day. A technician would check the 12-volt and key fob and get the driver back inside.
