Supercharger - Ephrata, PA

White whale located!

Very preliminary construction at Sheetz, 891 E Main Street, Ephrata PA. I had my doubts until I looked at the label.

Woohoo! This is an awesome location

Oh, that's right at that crazy divergent diamond interchange, nice!

That interchange makes no sense. I am generally pro traffic circle but I'm against whatever this monstrosity is.

From a traffic volume throughput they are statistically considered the most efficient type of interchange. I agree with you though, it's confusing and feels chaotic to drive through.

Looking forward to having this one opened. It’ll become the closest one to my parents’ and right along my route up to them from NC.

Still showing "Target opening in Q4 2021" on their web site: Find Us | Tesla. From the picture doesn't look like they will meet it.

 

[Craig_in_PA]

Q4 deadline

 

[Syd]

No, Q4 target, there is no deadline.

 

[Craig_in_PA]

Progressing.

Figured I post an update on this one. I happen to know that the footings were inspected and approved on the Ephrata Supercharger last week. The electrical underground is installed as well. Ill post back once it’s commissioned. I actually cancelled my Ford lightning order and ordered a model3 long range once I saw this was going in. Pretty confident I made the right decision.

Units getting installed

I like the placement of these chargers to avoid icing. I do find that walks to and from similar Sheetz locations are awkward because drivers do not expect you to be walking there.

Getting closer…

I do like seeing the gas price signs. I wonder how long it will be until they are required to post the kwh pricing?

Interesting, that thought hadn't occurred to me before.

 

[Amacharola]

I don't believe gas prices are required to be posted as much as they end up being expected to be over the last century to compare against competitors. Its just that they want to advertise that they have a place to stop, get some gas/food/go the bathroom.
