Badly needed SC in Reading, PA area. About time.

Yes! Great location.

I guess this kills my hope for a supercharger at the Sheetz off I78 in Bethel though.

 

[MrWattson]

perfect location for when I visit my son. Was hoping something would be added along the 78 corridor

 

[Amacharola]

This is a perfect location. Though they still need to add one in reading and King of Prussia area...

Gave it a visit.

No progress.

 

[Teefal]

Was just there after Hawk Mountain, thinking this would be a great spot. No activity.

Nope. Stopped by on 11/29. Nothing.

I was at that WaWa on my motorcycle mid December, still no progress on the chargers. It will be a great location for them though.

What ever happened to the proposed Adamstown supercharger south of Reading, PA? It used to show on the map as "Coming 2020" but now it's gone, was that site cancelled?

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

stopped by. zero progress. no logical place to even put them...

 

[MrWattson]

Was hoping this would come online quickly. It is the perfect point for me to top off charge when visiting family in Harrisburg.

My guess is they'll put them behind the Wawa by expanding the parking lot a bit into the grass towards Lowes. Seems like the best place IMHO.

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

Sounds logical. Place was packed Saturday.

That’s now listed as “Denver, PA” but based on the locations some of the pins are being placed, it seems that the turnpike is getting some Superchargers finally...

this will be a godsend if we ever decide to drive home for christmas again (grew up in schuylkill county). we have taken the tesla back to PA once and it was a horror show keeping it charged...we were lucky enough to be staying with family that we could plug in via 120, but any extended driving in a given day and we were having issues. that entire area is such a limited charging island...

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

Yes, I also often find my home state a vast wasteland

Hamburg... I guess for all those Tesla owners who like to make a Cabela's run.

it will help with people going to cabelas, but its certainly not just for that. there is literally no fast charging around that area for miles...it's about halfway on I78 between harrisburg and allentown, so that combined with the lack of charging around it's a pretty logical spot. lots of food/lodging/shopping options there too.
