Supercharger - Polaris, OH

[HustleSimmons]

I happened to drive by some construction in the back of a parking lot on Polaris Pkwy. It's fenced off and has a black privacy screen around it. You can see equipment, a POD storage unit and construction material that's about it. But as a longtime Tesla owner you find yourself asking what would someone build in the back of a parking lot? A Supercharger is the only logical answer right?.. But you can't see any definitive evidence because of the privacy screen. So I leave and come back with my drone for a little aerial recon lol. And will you looky here.. It's across from Core Life Eatery.

Nice job on the aerial recon @HustleSimmons !! Happy to see these SC getting construction started.

Wish they'd put one a bit more East in the New Albany vicinity. Surely there are a ton of owners over there...

Good job!

 

[Spuzzz]

Very cool. I suppose it could also be a destination charger too but either way good to see!

 

[ByranS]

Can we safely assume this will be a V3?

No. We. Can’t. Ugh

No, destination chargers don't need Supercharger cabinets--which is what those things to the left of the tubing are. Also, at the bottom of the picture you can see the precast bases for the supercharger posts. So it's definitely a supercharger and almost certainly V2.

That drone is the gift that just keeps on giving!

I can't believe this is finally happening.

So owners can clog up a supercharger instead of charging at home like they are supposed to?

@BlueShift @Chuq

Was it registered under a mysterious shell company like some of the others?

We really don't need to rehash the local vs. traveler argument.

This might be the most advantageously placed Supercharger in Ohio — all the dining options within walking distance!

 

[ewakko]

Finally! My in-laws live in Easton. The ones at Easton mall are always full of demo cars. Driving to the other 2 took a long time when you add up the round trip + charging time.

Your definition of walking may be different. You have to cross the very wide and busy street for a lot of it. Not good if you got little ones. Still a great stop regardless.

I usually drop my family off and go charge. I do the bulk of the walking...

Lol comes in handy more than I thought. Now the mystery is will it be V2 or V3?

V2. Don’t think they’ll do V3’s until after the beta sometime in the summer.

Probably a close 2nd behind the downtown chargers. They're a block from the Short North to the north and downtown restaurants to the South.
