It's a pathetic splitter!
(The big benefit is being a v3 between v2s).

Baytown, TX

Host Type: Gas Station
Host: Buc-Ee’s
Along Primary Interstates: I-10
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): None
Along Auxiliary Interstates: None

I-10

From: Channelview, TX - 9 miles
To: Lake Charles, LA - 118.8 miles
Diversion: 0.1 miles
From: Houston - Westheimer Rd, TX - 31.7 miles
To: Lafayette, LA - 194.3 miles

Pathetic splitter of Channelview, TX and Lake Charles, LA on I-10, being only 9 miles from Channelview, TX. But it's a v3 between v2s, and very conveniently off the Interstate, so will help speed up travel.

This is not too far from the SC in Channelview, which no no amenities other than the restrooms in the hotel. The new site at Buc-ee’s will offer food choices.

We stop at Buc-ees when we're in that area. Glad to see a SC going in there.

The other benefit for this SC over the Channelview is the side of the road it's on. For West traffic, the Channelview is the choice. Out of your way if you are heading East. You have to make a U turn at the frontage road to get to the SC. Then you're go down to the next intersection, make a U turn to get back towards the East. This new charger will be a breeze to get off on an exit and back on I-10. There is some construction in the area but at lease it's on the same side for East bound traffic.

Looking forward to this location. Tesla SC maps now show a Baytown Supercharger scheduled for Q2'22. The pin is pretty far away from Buc-ee's on the map, but hoping that changes as it gets developed.

On the trips I've taken through here, both Channel View and Lake Charles superchargers are congested and I had to wait at both, not to mention being v2 and slower when full. Baytown -> Lafayette looks like they will be the preferred stops in this section of I-10 going forward.

Tesla always puts the pin in the city center. I don't know when they change it, maybe when the SC opens.

Permit issued March 25th. I'm currently on hold for the site plans.

when the restaurant in the Holiday Inn is open, it's decent. The hotel employees are friendly and helpful. i like stopping there far more than stopping at Buckee's which I don't stop at unless no alternative.

I agree the HI isn't all that bad, but usually the restaurant is closed when we stop there. Besides, this is a "charge and go" location for us and we don't want to spend 45 minutes charging. The employees are nice and helpful as you mentioned.

This is going to be a great stop before hitting the Baytown 1/4 mile track. Now if they just can keep the track open.

Looks like a big installation. Anybody know how many stalls?

By comparing the photo in post 13 and the site plans I obtained today, the construction is definitely for the Supercharger, and I'd expect work is a lot further along by now

looking at those plans, its a set of three prefab units which means construction should go pretty quickly

Another set of 4 stalls will be added at a later date, maybe more
