Yeah EVs have kinda worked out perfect for them. They bank on people going in for something while filling gas but not many people actually do that since it's so quick and most pay with card.
EVs on the other hand; they've got you pretty much stuck there for at least 10 minutes. More then enough time to think about getting a drink or something.
This was my thought too. Not sure I understand this particular install but, as you stated, more is always better.With Kinston just opened, seems a bit weird that they're doing another one so close... but more is always better.
Hopefully there will be coverage in a few of the remaining big dead zones. (Rockingham area, Boone, Elizabeth City, and Roanoke Rapids)

I think I figured out what the problem is. I think you have to be a member of the Carolina Owners group on TMC to be able to see the pics. Maybe @ncent (or someone else with ncent's permission) would be willing and able to repost them in this thread where they'll be viewable to everyone?I can't get the pics to show up for me. Are other people seeing them?
You're right about the location being more to do with Sheetz, but wrong about the process. Besides providing signed forms saying that Tesla has the property owner's permission to be applying for approvals, Sheetz is almost totally uninvolved in the process of construction or pre-construction development. Sheetz corporate plays a big part in determining which locations are chosen and when, and they okay the site designs that Tesla develops once plans are drawn up for any given location. But beyond that and providing the property owner's signature everything is done by Tesla.I feel like it has more do with Sheetz and less to do with Tesla. My guess would be that Sheetz and Tesla have some kind of arrangement where Sheetz just tells Tesla they need some Supercharger equipment at location X and then Sheetz does most of the 'heavy lifting' of paperwork and permits. It's in both companies best interests to get the chargers setup quickly.
- Sheetz to get a SC setup on their property so people can shop while they charge and they can see the future where gas cars are a minority. (also my guess is that there is a certain minimum radius between these 'highway' SC locations in sparse population areas for now. So if the place down the street from a Sheetz got a SC location then Sheetz wouldn't be able to get one anytime soon..... just a guess)
- Tesla to expand their network as quickly and easily as possible

From Charlotte going to Wilmington (or vice versa), we need something along the US-74 route that allows for a more relaxed drive...Now we just need a charger in New Bern and Jacksonville

I've used the Wadesboro one... We are used to finding creative charging solutions, but all the new Model 3 and Y owners just want a simple/convenient way to get to/from the beach.There are chargepoint chademos in evergreen,nc and wadesboro, NC if you have an adapter. Clearly not a supercharger but may help in a pinch.
I agree. I also want one in Pinehurst or thereabout. US-1 is an interstate grade road for much of the distance between Raleigh and Pinehurst. I know many people that commute from Pinehurst to Raleigh everyday, and many people that go to Pinehurst to play golf for the day from Charlotte, Raleigh & Greensboro. It doesn’t have to be a huge station, 4 chargers would likely be enough, but we need something.From Charlotte going to Wilmington (or vice versa), we need something along the US-74 route that allows for a more relaxed drive...
