My idea for a Cullman, AL supercharger:
I think the I-65 corridor between the Birmingham and Athens locations needs a supercharger. These two superchargers can be crowded, slower (V2), and too close together for those wishing to skip charging in Birmingham.
Cullman is an almost perfect for a supercharger installation! Here’s something I wrote up:
Along Primary Interstates: I-65
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): US-31, US-278
Along State Numbered Highways (<=5mi): AL-69, AL-157
Split Superchargers: Birmingham, AL; Athens, AL; Huntsville, AL
Amenities (walking distance): Hampton Inn, Logan's Roadhouse, Puckett's Restaurant, Cracker Barrel, Shell gas station
