Supercharger - Columbia, SC - Harbison Blvd

[Jeremy3292]

Per the local Facebook group, new superchargers are being installed on Harbison Blvd in Columbia, SC. This will technically have a Columbia address but it is Irmo, SC for all intents and purposes. For those unfamiliar with the area, this is right off I-26 a few miles outside of Columbia. The user said it was near Ulta & DSW. Construction pic below, not my own. Finally relief on I-26! Woohoo!

@corywright Don't have stall info or exact address yet, but 320 Harbison Blvd, Columbia, SC is likely very close.

@ItsNotAboutTheMoney SPLITTER!

According to what information? We'd like to add this to supercharge.info, and the more information, the better.

I think @Gettys84 lives in Columbia.

@Gettys84 can you share anymore pics? Did you stop by? Thanks!

Don’t have good pictures but I am sure people will post some later today. 4 stalls behind the cabinets and the other 12 on the front side of the location.

Nice work @Gettys84 - thanks

Looks like a great spot secluded in a corner. 16 stalls is awesome! I-26 needs it for sure.

On vacation. This just made it even better.
OK, it's not Spartanburg but it does drop the gap below 140.

10 gaps to go to make 150 or less. That 10 is because of future Interstates, plus excessive diversions. Fixing Arkansas and Oklahoma should pretty much do it.

This is excellent news. Now we just need one in the upstate and all my "I-26 gap" whinging will finally come to an end.

Its really interesting to see this one mirroring the EA location, too. Another location really close to a Wal-Mart EA, but not quite in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

Also, this should slightly relieve Orangeburg, which was starting to get a little busy during peak travel times.

EDIT: The only bad thing is that this area is extremely busy. ICE'ing might be a problem here.

If they would add one in Clinton SC would be a great addition

Orangeburg is slammed these days. They probably need another in Charleston too...but I'm happy now with this one going in. Likely will see one in Spartanburg in the next year or so also as it is another splitter for I-26 and I-85 at the same time.

Yeah, there's been a lot of talk of new ones for Charleston for a while now. Its a very busy site most days. It must be hard to find a suitable location for some reason.

There's a CCS station going in at Roebuck. Its only ~80kw for 400V cars, but that area would be a nice place for a stop on the way to Asheville or Spartanburg.

I certainly hope so.

In regards to ICEing, there is a nice median/barrier between the SuC area and main parking lot (yellow highlight below). Also it is pretty secluded over there with a dead end at the other side. I realize there are cars in the Google street view pics below, but if there are actually 16 stalls at this location I can't imagine that even 4 ICEd stalls would be a huge problem. Note the 2 parking spots in the corner there could both become pull in spots potentially.

The bigger concern is Harbison Blvd is a massively trafficked area like Woodruff Rd (Greenville SuC), plus I-26/I-20 in and around Columbia will be under construction quite literally until 2030.

Fun note: looks like there is a substation right behind where the SuC are being installed

Ypu can see the 3 cabinets, so this is a 12 stall v3 install. They look to be pretty far along. My daughter is very happy that the Ulta is right there withon 10 yards. There is also a McDonalds close by and a new Chic-Fil-A being built, all in easy walking distance..

@Big Earl please update to 12 stalls
