Supercharger - Aberdeen, MD

[WATTS-UP]

When traveling I try to pick up a coffee and bagel before stopping at the Newark SC. The food court is not the greatest North bound I get off at 273 head west to the WAWA or DD maybe 1/2 mile after getting off I95. Then head over to 895 and back to I95,to the Newark SC. Side benefit you don't have the $4.00 toll by going around. You go about three miles out of your way. I just think the food is better and it’s not going to kill your travel time.

Has anyone stopped by to see if construction has begun? It's been over 3 weeks since I was in Maryland and checked on my way home...

I do not see any dig requests for Maryland House on the Miss Utility web site for Tesla.

And still nothing on the Miss Utility site.

"Thank you for your email. We are actively scouting for site locations in Aberdeen, MD, but we are still in the early stages of deployment. There are a number of scenarios that can affect the timeline for a new site, so we cannot make guarantees about opening dates, but we are working hard to open as many sites as quickly as we can. We understand the need for more Superchargers, especially in Maryland, and we are excited to announce new sites on our website.


We appreciate your enthusiasm and support in Tesla and our Supercharger technology.



Thank you,

The Tesla Supercharger Team"

Wonder if this means Maryland House is off the table now?

Hard to imagine that would be the case, but I guess anything's possible until the official announcement.

Imagine if Tesla utilized some of their unpaid fans to man the phones to help push these processes along! I'd call!

Agreed!! How many times have TMC members crowdsourced evaluation of potential locations? And if we spent 1/2 as much time pushing the process as we've spent looking for clues on permitting sites... I think it would be a win/win

How's the whole construction thing coming?

 

[jdo]

There is some sort of construction going on at the South end. I can't tell if it's for Superchargers or not. The square footage looks about right. Maybe somebody can tell something from these.

 

[vdiv]

Alas they are building sidewalks and the suspected site is just the staging area. All kinds of gravel and lots of pavers.

 

[MX1028]

Any updates and confirmation that this construction is for the Superchargers?

 

[jdo]

Check the post above yours. It appears this is just for sidewalk construction.

 

[galleon]

Has anyone stopped by in the past month to check out the site? Still just a sidewalk?

 

[Franks]

Im confused as it said permit applied for and then supercharger team email said still shopping for sites? Is there any update? I drive the 95 corridor from NJ to Charlottesville all the time and hate Laurel site. Something on 95 in Aberdeen area would be ideal

Latest announcement and interactive map from Tesla on 2017 projections moves the Aberdeen site out of Maryland House and on to Rte 40. Make of it what you will.

Edit: playing around some more, I see they also put the DC supercharger in the middle of Scott Circle, so maybe shouldn't put any credence in exact locations.

@jdo: Correct, the future sites are shown with the disclaimer "Exact timing and specific location may vary", and are generally centered on Google's location for the town they are named after, rather than the exact location they hope to use.

Right. They're just showing us the general layout of their plans - necessary if they haven't gotten some of the property owners on board yet.

The Maryland House is a much more sensible choice than downtown, and Newark and Cranbury are precedents (though in other states.)

That's disappointing, the south side has a lot more space, and much easier access.
