This new one in Columbia is further out off the beaten path at the Village of Sandhill. This also likely continues Tesla's latest trend of putting 12 or 16 stall sites in shopping center parking lots.

Interesting, thanks. I haven't seen that website before.
Looks like the new one in GVL will be on Haywood Road?
Edit: Should have scrolled down one post. Now I see you confirmed.

Per Facebook, these looks almost done. Behind the Academy Sports.

Interesting that they decided to place this one so far off the highway. Any new chargers are welcomed though!

I just went out there and they look like they are almost finished. There were workers out there working late on a Sunday night. I wouldn't be surprised if this comes online in the next week. This came out of no where....

Completely agree. Not ideal in my opinion. Off 77, 20 or 26 would have been much better. I'll likely never visit this location, but hope someone gets use out of it. Wish they'd update/replace the ones off 77 in Columbia to be v3. I generally try to skip v2s now.

Maybe they have data showing a lot of local usage on this side of Columbia? I can't really think of another reason, tbh.

I am sure they picked the location because of the food and stores around the place. I agree it is not ideal, but my family will probably use it a half dozen times a year, especially when I have to go to Camden or Darlington. I personally keep my SOC at 60% daily, so sometimes when I have a very crazy workday, I need a little extra juice.

Charging here now. This finally appeared in my car’s nav while I was on my way here, as “Town Center Place “.

Should the name of this thread be updated to the nav name?

One interesting thing I noticed is that the site looks like it is built so that they can add 4 more posts later.

Off topic I know, but are you saying you set your charge limit to 60%? As in you plug in at night and wake up to a 60% full battery? If so I have to ask why?

Lower SOC = better for battery longevity. I charge to 65% daily, use around 20-25% for daily commute, and charge to 90% on Fridays before the weekend as I pretty much charge at work exclusively (free).

Batteries are happiest at 50%. I use around 20% daily, so I charge to 60%, drive it down to 40%, plug in and charge back to 60. That way, 50% is my average.
When I go on a road trip, I charge to near 100% and leave when it gets to my setpoint.
