Just to alert you , the SC at Abingdon, Va, is not easy to get into just with a car. I think pulling a trailer behind the Holiday Inn will be a bit of a nightmare.

Only one other future Supercharger site near Blacksburg has been identified by the Supercharge(dot)info sleuths. A Supercharger station at Daleville, Va, a little north of Roanoke, has been in the planning/permitting stage for almost three years. I suspect this site may never be built, but the...

I checked last week. Looks like Tesla is waiting on a transformer. I'm going out there tonight. I'll report if there have been any changes in the past week.

I think I owe someone an apology for bad photography. I believe this station will only have 8 stalls, not 12. I also believe I'm the source of the misunderstanding. The earlier photos I took of the Marmet Supercharger under construction were not very good. I just stuck my camera around the...

I think the Hubbell specifies the required torque on the side of the socket. I bought a torque screwdriver to make sure the connections were correctly tightened. It took a big effort to tighten enough to reach the "click" set point on the screwdriver. The extra cost of a Hubbell socket falls...

The V2 in Charleston still sees some traffic. No longer full with cars waiting to charge, but not empty during the day either. Marmet may cut the Charleston traffic a bit. Also, Marmet is a good point to charge up for a trip into the eastern West Virginia mountains via US Rt. 60.

I was trying to figure out just why there was an empty lot on the river available for constructing a Supercharager station and a truck stop. I went used Google maps "View over time", looking back at the land use over the last 50 years, and it appears that area was used to tie up coal barges...

The existing gas station is 10410 MacCorkle Ave, but the empty lot that the supercharger is being built on may have a slightly different address. A truck stop is being built on the same lot.

Located at the Exxon/Little General store across the street from Krogers on MacCorkle Avenue in Marmet. About a quarter mile from the WV Turnpike/I-64/I-77 Marmet exit. The address is about 10410 MacCorkle Ave, Marmet, WV.

A new Supercharger under construction was spotted this week in Marmet, West Virginia, about 15 miles southeast of Charleston on the West Virginia Turnpike (I-77/I-64). The news was first posted by Raymond Wyrick on the West Virginia Electric Auto Association FB page. Located at the...

I'm not sure charging desert is an accurate description of the West Virginia northern highlands any longer. I think you will find destination charger connections in Pocahontas County at Marlinton and at the Greenbank Radio Observatory, the Cass RR State Park and at the Snowshoe ski resort, at...

I've read that Tesla uses changes in feed-in resistance as a proxy for wiring overheating, as resistance increases in wiring with increased temperature. So if the wiring resistance climbs 10 minutes after plugging in, that indicates a temperature rise due to current flow and inadequate...

Does this mean Marco is in the game, or is this from old work before he announced his departure?

I really appreciate all your work to find all these upcoming location. Thanks!

I've also stopped by a couple times this past week. All the stalls connected to the #1 cabinet (1A, 1B, 1C, & 1D) are down.
