Any updates on this construction? I have a personal interest in Superchargers on Hwy 101

Nice pull in!

Nice pull in!

But not trailer or really even bike rack friendly. (At least for the larger bike racks.)

Yeah, there aren’t many trailer friendly pull ins, long ones. As for rear mounted bike racks I find these pulls in better than a back in making it easier to not hit the tower with a most rear bike. Nothings perfect, but I do prefer these to all back in. Mostly because most ppl simply cannot back in to save their lives. It really needs to be a parking push the button to back into an SC stall “summon” or “park assist”..

While would be good to have a SC in Florence, Coos Bay to Newport SC is now down to about 100 miles so doable even when towing a small camper.

Fortunately Bandon has pull through SC’s. A SC in Florence with pull through stations would be a great complement to 101 charging

Nice! I just wrapped up a 101 road trip this summer and this charger reduces a huge gap of 250kw chargers down the 101. There was a 447 mile stretch from Newport OR to Ft. Bragg CA with only v2 chargers. This charger shrinks that gap down to 350 miles!

We felt that v3 gap hard and Eureka was the only place we had to wait in line on the whole SEA to SF drive down the 101. Ended up having to make an unplanned stop at an EA station at One Log House that absolutely saved our bacon.

That actually looks really crowded... pulling in and out, maybe people or kids around their cars...

Four chargers already down?

8 stalls. Working. Nice little downtown area.

I might change my opinion of the area. Seeing lots of clothes strewn about. Hope it’s not too sketch at night. I’m not from around here so not sure. Kinda giving me Aberdeen wa vibes.

Coos Bay has seen better times, but the area is pretty safe (I'm comparing it to downtown Detroit in the 90's). The pub next to the SuperCharger (7 Devils) is a great place to grab a bite and wait for your charge. There are a couple of coffee shops and sit down restaurants on 101 that's a block or two away.

Biggest gap on US-1 now down to 110.1 miles. That stretch stood out, but Newport, OR and now Coos Bay, OR have improved it.

I’ve been coming to the area most summers for 15 years and 7-devils is a must-visit every trip. I’ve never felt unsafe late at night there. I’ve not seen cloths strewn about either.
