Supercharger - Girard, OH

[MarcoRP]

A new Supercharger is under construction at the Shell travel center off I-80 in Girard. From what we know so far, 8 stalls are being added in the unpaved area adjacent to the onramp.

Shell partnership? Is that new?

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

Oil companies have a branding/franchise model, so, at most a possibility of a deal with the holders.

(Shell gas stations in New River, AZ and Entiat, WA have Superchargers.)

Another Supercharger on I-80 in Ohio, making travel easier, potentially avoiding significant diversions.

Also, the first Supercharger on the western US-422.

This is brilliant for someone driving West from NYC along i80 (me). It'd be about perfect for a second stop on a westbound route. The quick diversion before the Turnpike and tolls begin is an added bonus. There's a burger King nearby which doesn't hurt.

This will be a great area for a SC when coming back to Ohio from Pittsburg. And like Mukhster pointed out, you don't have to pay tolls to get off and back on I-80!

Line painting done but no transformer or meter

What are the chances this opens in 2 weeks? I'm taking a trip on i-80 from MI to PA and this location would be a PERFECT first stop on my trip

Just checked. Not active yet.

 

[EverydayEV]

Just drove by, can't wait for this location to be active!

I also stopped by late last night and it’s not operational yet. This Shell station is very nice and will be a great location! There’s a mini restaurant inside and a very clean restroom. Excited to check it out during a trip coming back from NY soon.

 

[conor_v]

Any updates? I will be stopping here on Friday morning to check it out on my trip east so if nobody is nearby to check I can post something then.

Tesla App shows the Girard Supercharger is live!

Anyone know about the "New Springfield" charger that shows on the Tesla map? They say it is supposed to go on line in Q3 of this year. Maybe another one at the Ohio Turnpike service plaza? There are a pair of service plazas right at that location. The Turnpike's web page only discusses existing sites and not future sites.
I don't see anything on Supercharge.INFO map.

I've been wondering the same thing and I just contacted the Turnpike a few weeks ago, but didn't have a good place to share it. (See screenshot.) Basically they said they haven't been installed yet, but they'll update their website when they're up and running.

When I stopped by Girard before it opened, I planned on making a loop out to one or both of these service plazas, to see if any construction started. I didn't get to do that yet, I hope I can soon. Then hopefully we can get something added to supercharge.info also, because I'm surprised nothing is marked on the map yet.

I don't know how accurate this is, but it's the best information I found otherwise:

Tesla to build Superchargers at select locations on Ohio Turnpike

Travellers on Ohio’s Interstate 80 will soon be able to enjoy a Supercharged voyage across the state. In December, Tesla opened 2 Supercharging stations at the Wyandot and Blue Heron service plazas in Genoa. This week, [...]

driveteslacanada.ca

"This week, we found out that Tesla and the Turnpike Authority have reached an agreement to build Supercharging stations at a number of other plazas in the state.

These are the locations we know of so far:

• Tiffin River and Indian Meadow service plazas – West Unity
• Great Lakes and Towpath service plazas – Broadview Heights
• Mahoning Valley and Glacier Hills service plazas – New Springfield"

Very helpful! I was through there about 10 days ago. I ended up charging in Twinsburg. It would have been easier to just charge at the service plaza.

You're welcome! I'm glad Twinsburg worked for you and I agree, having a little stop in a service plaza will be awesome. Side thing: I've actually used the RV charging (after buying the overnight permit, $20 last year) to "camp" on my way to Cedar Point. That worked well and was a nice option using the NEMA 14-50 adapter.
