Supercharger - Franklin, VA

[corywright]

Leading Edge Services has submitted a dig ticket for the construction of EV chargers at the Wawa at 1461 Armory Dr, Franklin, VA 23851.

I called the Wawa and they confirmed they are expecting Tesla chargers to be built there.

Awesome! Here’s hoping that it’s not a relocation of the site showing on Tesla for Suffolk, and is instead continued build out of Rt 58.

Wow! Franklin, VA what a town to have a supercharger in. Grew up not far from here in Prince George up 460

Can anyone drop into this site and take photos? The nearby Suffolk site is actually a V4 stall location. Supercharger - Suffolk, VA

Is it a V3 or V4 site? No post on X yet.
Thoughts on the location? Looks like it’s at a strip mall.

With Franklin, VA open, the maximum gap along on US-258 is reduced to 125.7 miles.

 

[Anthony R.]

It’s 229 miles along 58 to Bristol, 158 miles to Wytheville up 77, and once the Abingdon Supercharger is open it’s 210 miles.
