Supercharger - Gaithersburg, MD - Watkins Mill Rd

[GBMaryland]

Sent Tesla an email this morning to see what they have to say. I figured it couldn’t hurt.

Site definitely has power

(moreover, it looks like it’s had a meter send late December and that probably means power since late December…)

Have to wonder why it’s taking so long… it doesn’t appear that anything else needs to be done to the site.

Marco with the info as to why this is delayed. Waiting on one more inspection

Stopped by today to see if it was working and it is charging in the power is turned on.

It does not show up anywhere as if it is an actual working supercharger. Thank you.

I noticed today that it shows on the supercharger map

Yep, I just charged there yesterday. It's 0.44/kwh during peak times. This is going to be a VERY popular spot given that it's right off 270 and a lot easier to get to compared to the garage at the Rio/Target down the street.

Yeah, the Rio is a freaking nightmare. Also, I got a wonder if it’s 250 or 150… the Rio that is.

Rio is a 150. I've shopped at Target there and don't always get a full charge depending on how many people are there. It's very rare that you DON’T share a charger at that station.

I also think there should be a Supercharger up the road in Germantown or over in Clarksburg to augment the Watkins Mill charger, although C’burg may be too close to Urbana and Frederick. The population density drops off considerably once you get past Germantown until you get up to Frederick. Milestone Center or the shopping plaza by TopGolf could be decent spots for a charger in Germantown.

I was looking at the prices for the various superchargers in the area…. Bethesda is actually the cheapest…. And the one at Watkins mill is actually one of the more expensive ones.
