Supercharger - Forks, WA

[PLUS EV]

I made a trip, last Sunday, from my place to Aberdeen (least favorite SC location I have been to), Forks, Sequim and Kingston and caught the ferry to Edmonds then back home. The grocery store next to the pizza place might have a deli.

You're right. I did see a grocery store somewhat further away but did not investigate. But it obviously would be open given that it's a grocery store.

Awesome! This makes easy for Seattlites to do a circuit around the Olympics. Seattle-> Aberdeen -> Forks -> Sequim -> Seattle. Can be done even in my old S 60.

I've done it before, but I had to stay at un-scenic powered campgrounds. Now you can camp anywhere. That's huge.

I just did that very loop for the first time yesterday. Forks was the most important charger in my loop.

Including stops in Seabrook and Ocean Shores, my throttled 2012 85 would have had to charge at Sequim for 1.5-2 hours to get enough juice to make it to Aberdeen.

Be safe. And by safe I mean, stay well clear of Forks for now. It's apparently gone full Deliverance.

I visited the Forks, WA Supercharger on Saturday, August 2, 2020. I started with the drive in charger and worked my way toward HW 101. It appears that only the 4 chargers nearest HW 101 are working. I tried 3 before going to the one closest to HW 101, which worked. I suppose maintenance is infrequent at such a remote location, but if the whole station goes down, it would be a potential disaster for those of us circumnavigating the Olympics in a Tesla.

There is a Thriftway one block south and across 101 that has a good deli.

Did a drive around the peninsula today and those four charger are still down. I hadn’t looked at this thread before my trip so when I tried two chargers before I figured out only 4 were showing as available on the navigation page, I started to panic. My car said I’d have 0% arriving at Sequim - I started to prepare myself for a painfully slow drive or to pull out the PlugShare app for other options.

Went over and used this Labor Day weekend. We stayed at the Dew Drop (the motel in the same parking lot) and it was fine and allowed dogs. We also just walked across the street and picked up a pizza from the pizza place. All-in-all, it made staying in Forks tolerable. Great location for a Supercharger on the peninsula.

Charged here today, only one there, no issues. I didn't take the time to test all the chargers, just went straight for the one second from the road, which worked great.

All chargers are working today

Anyone charge here recently? Planning a trip in the next couple of weeks, so want to make sure Forks SC is up and running.

A friend of mine charged there a week or two ago. Is there any reason to believe it wouldn't be up and running?

The best way to check on charger status is to tap on the pin on the in-car navigation. It shows how many stalls are available. I see 4 out of 8 are working.

Next, check Plugshare. The last check-in 3 days ago mentioned that 4 stalls are out of order.

I charged there on 7/27/21 and the back 4 Suprchargers were offline and still not working. Does it usually take a couple of months for defective Superchargers to be fixed?

According to Tesla.com/findus.... Forks now has Magic Dock...

 

[supergeek]

Wow! Just two days ago I absolutely nailed that prediction in the other magic dock thread. I absolutely cannot believe my eyes! This is a huge enabler for one of the most common road trips in the Seattle area.

These circuit breakers are very expensive. From Grainger:

The next v3 location that Tesla really trounces the CSS network is out in Forks. That location can get busy on travel days, but it's the only level 3 charger of any kind on the 163 mile drive from Port Angeles EA charger to the Aberdeen RAN or EA charger. Add in a trip to any two common destinations like Hoh rainforest, Rialto beach, Cape Flattery, etc. and you're closer to 250 miles between level 3 charges.
