My parents are in Jackson, so this will be a good charger to have if I were to ever drive from here in the DMV area to Jackson.

Maybe BGE will get off their duff and finally finish the one in Jessup before the new year starts.

Yeah, I noticed the additional chargers at the OH Turnpike service areas this time around. One that was just finished was still under construction in July when we drove in my partner’s ICE vehicle. When we drove there in my car last year, we stopped in Cranberry and Strongsville on the way up...

Wow! I was just talking about how this would be a great Supercharger stop in my thread about my trip from DC to Fayetteville and Raleigh, NC and here we are. I wonder if there will be a Supercharger built at the other Davis Travel Center in Warfield off I-85. It would be a faster alternative to...

BGE is the WORST when getting things online. It took over a year for Bowie to come online long after the chargers themselves were built at that Wawa station. For all the talk Maryland does about infrastructure and EVs, a lot of the companies responsible for these type of things like to fool...

Also, total charging costs were $64.58; 81% median efficiency, 177kWh added...

I just wanted to share my recent road trip experience in my 2018 Model 3 LR RWD. I bought it used almost 2 years ago, and it has about 80,000 miles on it. Overall, it was a pretty smooth ride, with a few interesting encounters along the way. My partner isn't as enthusiastic about EV road...

Thanks for the tips! I might wind up having to fly because my partner still isn't sold on long distance EV trips when I broached the topic. We drove from here to Toledo, OH last year (which is a shorter trip to be fair) and it was noticed that it took a bit longer factoring the charges. Oh well...

They sure should have. I was at the Bowie charger the same day @PStewart took photos, just a bit earlier and it was pretty slammed. There is a newish Royal Farms off MD-202/Exit 17 off the Beltway that would be great for a Supercharger. However, 202 can get pretty congested because of the...

I'm considering a road trip from the DC Area (starting near Gaithersburg/Germantown in Maryland) and was curious if anyone has made this journey before. I drive an M3 LR RWD, so I have about 290 miles in range after some degradation. I mapped the route out on ABRP and it looks like I'd have to...

This supercharger looks like it will be at the Royal Farms on US 1 and Montevideo Road East of I-95, not at Gateway Overlook, where Costco/Trader Joe's are. However, an EVGo charger with a Tesla plug is already located at Gateway Overlook.

Like the song says, it’s about damn time! I wonder why Howard County was such a holdout with Tesla superchargers, especially since they have such a strong EV presence and infrastructure. And this is close to I-95, so it is so needed along this corridor. This will definitely be a great reliever...

Rio is a 150. I've shopped at Target there and don't always get a full charge depending on how many people are there. It's very rare that you DON’T share a charger at that station. I also think there should be a Supercharger up the road in Germantown or over in Clarksburg to augment the Watkins...

Yep, I just charged there yesterday. It's 0.44/kwh during peak times. This is going to be a VERY popular spot given that it's right off 270 and a lot easier to get to compared to the garage at the Rio/Target down the street.

Whenever they finally work on this and construct this supercharger, it'll be great alternative to the one at Arundel Mills Blvd and much faster. This location is across the street from a shopping center with a lot of restaurants and a gym.

This will be a good location heading north to Harrisburg on I-83 and will provide relief for Towson and York, PA.

Good point, and fair enough. I was somewhat exaggerating or got triggered by my memories of working for Uber regarding saying that I don't like a lot of people. My positives usually outweighed the negatives for a long time until they didn't, if that makes sense. However, it is something to...

This will be less of a diversion than the current location and much faster. I wish it were a little closer to Primanti Brothers though

This is a great post and provides me a lot of insight. I am considering ridesharing again so I can have some extra cash on hand. I lost a job last year, and wound up getting another about a month later, but pays a little less. Also, my bills/expenses have increased and my partner wants to go on...

It truly is. What the hell could be the hold up there?

I used to live in Georgia, so I'll always have a soft spot for their taquitos and buffalo chicken rollers and their Freezoni's. They're a lot easier to eat while driving compared to the hoagies from Wawa, ha ha ha... There is a Shell gas station off Bryant Road/Exit 237 on I-40 that would be...

What was the hold up with QuikTrip? QuikTrip seems to be very anti-EV; hell, the state of Oklahoma, in general, does... QT has numerous locations in Oklahoma, South and North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and Missouri. You'd think they'd want the traffic that Teslas and other EVs could...

Good! Close to where I live and it will provide relief to the Gaithersburg SC at the Rio, which is almost always overcrowded. HOWEVER, this Royal Farms has really bad egress/ingress off Watkins Mill Road and the exit off I-270 is marked, but I can't say that it's well-marked. Hopefully this one...

I see there’s a temporary closure at the G’Burg station…does anyone know anything about this?

Meanwhile, the one in Fairfax opened so much more quickly. Do better, Maryland and BGE. Damn!

I used to live in Bowie and that's BG&E territory, which may explain the delays compared to other sites in the DMV.

Cool. Now can one open in Blytheville and/or Hayti, MO?!

God, I wish they’d hurry up with this one

Good that they’re closing the I-26 Gap, but I hope and agree that there will be Superchargers in Clinton (before the split with I-385) and in Spartanburg soon.

If I ever drive down south (I have family in Mississippi) and head west to Texas, this would be a great charger to have to skip Monroe and Shreveport and drive right into East Texas/Lindale

Awesome if you want to skip the Pearl SC. I haven’t driven to Mississippi in mine yet, but good to know it’s there

Update on my first long distance EV trip. We left Maryland for Toledo last Thursday and got back tonight. Things went pretty well! I don’t think my better half is totally convinced on EV road tripping due to the time involved charging, but we’re still alive! We left the Gaithersburg area...

It looks like there may be another supercharger in Breezewood…My partner and me were driving back from Ohio today and when we were in Breezewood waiting to get back on I-70 East to Maryland, we noticed two supercharger destinations on the navigation map - the one at Sheetz but noticed there were...

Thank you for this information. It seems that the Sports Grille in Cranberry Township that's relatively close to the Cranberry Supercharger has some very polarizing reviews on Yelp too. I thought that would be a great stop, but I might have to reevaluate my plan I cooked up on ABRP. A long...

I'm supposed to drive to Toledo, OH with my partner in a few weeks, and we're in Montgomery County near DC. I figured we can make it to Somerset and charge and perhaps stop in Cranberry and take a lunch break there while we charge, and then stop in Strongsville to charge before we drive into...

I drove by this afternoon to take a few pics and verified that the supercharger is in operation. It’s not immediately adjacent to the Wawa station, but close enough. Route 1 is packed full of cars and this station isn’t the easiest to get to, but it’s good there’s another option that’s Beltway...

Fair enough. I lived in different parts of PG (Landover, Bowie, etc.), and I agree that there needs to be some supercharger love in the county, especially since I-95 runs along that part of the Beltway. I personally think the Royal Farms off Ritchie-Marlboro would’ve been a better location.

I’m just going to say that I hope this area is well-patrolled. Not the best or safest area of PG County TBH…I wish there was a more feasible spot out on Route 4 towards Upper Marlboro.

I hope there's a reliever site built somewhere in nearby Howard County or another SC built along Arundel Mills Blvd that's faster or more convenient to other amenities. This location gets super busy and it's annoying to walk across Milestone Pkwy to get to Wawa, especially in inclement weather...

I'm really ready for this one to be open, however, I'm not surprised that the Wawa is so overcrowded. There are very few gas stations in the area and most of them are not exactly off the Beltway, and some of the ones that are can be quite sketchy, so this Wawa is meeting pent-up demand. There's...

I wonder if there will be a Supercharger at the Buc-ees in Warner Robins. It's right off I-75 at Exit 144/Russell Parkway and would be a pretty logical spot

Duly noted. The Petersburg V3 is a bit out of the way if I'm heading south on I-85 (towards Durham, Charlotte, or Atlanta), but I guess I could make up time with the charging speed there?

Superchargers at QuikTrips along I-85 between Atlanta and Charlotte would be perfect and a good way to draw in traffic. Some much needed superchargers have been added in Piedmont and Fair Play to relieve the Greenville SC, but there are QT's in Gaffney, Spartanburg, and Gastonia that would be...

It's still not on Plugshare neither. If I weren't so far away (I'm in the Mid-Atlantic now), I'd drive over to Cottondale and check in.

I might take a trip down to Charlotte soon (from Maryland), but seriously considering skipping this station if I can help it. Top up in Chester and drive to the Henderson Supercharger, especially if the restaurant is not open. My partner already fusses about the "long charges in creepy spots...

I decided to drive over to Urbana and gave Magneto some juice. This Royal Farms seems pretty chill and quiet unlike many of them around here

Not on the Tesla maps yet in the car. I may drive by and check later, but traffic on 270 is bad right now

Ellicott City and Columbia most definitely. It baffles me that Howard County has no superchargers, however there are lots of J1772 chargers throughout Columbia. There’s are EVGo chargers with Tesla plugs in Columbia and Elicott City, but a supercharger would be nice. But anyway, congrats to...

So this site is open open? It’s not on the Tesla map yet. But I do see it on ABRP

Oh wow! Prayers answered! Definitely an essential stop along 20/59!
