Supercharger - Asheville, NC

Hickory Please. Statesville would be redundant going from Charlotte to Wytheville, Hickory would open up US321 (Charlotte area to Blowing Rock / Boone)

Well, Statesville would cover the I-40 and I-77 interchange. Hickory would cover the 321 and I-40 interchange. Agreed that Hickory would be better, for sure.

There are actually plenty of good places right off of I-40 and/or 321 in Hickory that would be perfect. Statesville is a bit crowded in the 77/40 area and I can't think of any ideal spots...

In the meantime, anyone passing through Hickory is welcome to use one of my HPWCs if needed. Little out of the way, but not too bad.

If a Supercharger opens up at some point, I hope the hospitality continues. I love meeting other owners and sharing stories.

I'd put a supercharger in here at my house if Tesla would let me.

You'd have the first one (at least around here) that actually runs on solar!

What we really just need is a supercharger in Blowing Rock / Boone (in addition to Hickory and/or Statesville). Once Asheville and Warsaw are done, this is the last place in NC that would benefit from a supercharger for me. I guess something in Statesville or Hickory would help, but would still be a significant detour coming from the Raleigh/Durham area.

Nah, we have Makoto's HPWC in Boone...

The return trip from there is always fun. So much downhill I can get from there to home (~50 miles) using like 30 rates miles.

That would work too. Be great for the Blue Ridge Parkway as well.

Do we know of an HPWC in Augusta? I know there are CHADeMos there but am not sure about HPWC's. TIA.

The Partridge Inn at 2110 Walton Way has two @ 80-amps, but ask that they be used by patrons only. The Augusta Marriott at #2 10th Street also has two @ 40-amps. Same restriction tho.

As if I could get into either of those resorts when I need to. Masters - sigh. Oh well - thanks. The CHADeMos will make it work.

We stopped by this weekend and they were not working. It was nice to have the entire parking area. We didn't have to worry about parking near any other cars and getting a dings on the car.
