Supercharger - Fair Play, SC

[mhcrowder]

I see Tesla has a "Coming Soon" supercharger in Fairplay, SC between Greenville, SC Supercharger and the Buford, GA Supercharger. Currently they have it opening Q4 2021.

Looking forward to this location.

For anyone scrutinizing the exact location that Tesla has marked, note that they always drop these "coming soon" pins on the center of the municipality, not where they are actually putting the station.

Good to hear. They either need to expand GVL or put a new one between CLT and ATL. Hopefully this one will be at the Love's Travel Stop (exit 4) so there will be some amenities.

Definitely agree that the Charlotte-Atlanta corridor seems to have relatively sparse supercharger coverage, especially compared to the Charlotte-Raleigh corridor just up the road. I hope that Spartanburg will be considered next as it's the junction of I-85/I-26.

"Fairplay' ... nowhere near Washington D.C. I suppose.

Yeah, this should make skipping Greenville possible for a lot of folks going between Atlanta and Asheville or Charlotte. Greenville has been really busy lately, so that's a big improvement.

Man it would be nice to have it for my July trip to Atlanta from Charlotte but I doubt it will be completed by then....

 

[smartypnz]

Great.... nice drive down from Brevard and on the way to Tifton to end the day for that segment of the lower 45 states. Aiming for maybe 3 1/2 weeks till there, but really won't require. Will stop for look see anyway and if not operational yet - will post pix of progress.

Another v3 splitter of an Interstate gap greater than 100 miles.
These splitters take the load off sites, as well providing faster charging..

Fair Play is under construction! From an Atlanta-area Tesla owner who was passing through.

I drove by this morning about 10am. Nine stalls are built, three left to do. The power equipment is still wrapped. Quite a few workers around, but no one I asked had any info on date of completion.

This site is going to be great, so needed to split the gap between Greenville (which is often clogged) and Buford. I have a trip to North Georgia planned the last weekend of July that will take me right thru here, hope it’s operational by then!

Any updates? Will be traveling down for the 4th weekend and it would be awesome if it were up and running but that's a stretch

No updates on this specific charger, but a couple of weeks ago we were in Michigan and ran up on a crew that was building 3 superchargers in the area. They said that Tesla has a commission team and they were trying to get the new superchargers commissioned before the week of July 4.
Judging from the pics above it looks like they might be ready for the commission team before the 4th. Just my opinion.

Why doesn't this site look like the original plan with pull thru charging stations? There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the orientation stalls are being installed lately.

I vastly prefer the way they've been installed vs the plan but why the lack of consistency?
