Indeed! Quick update on Twitter, too.

Based just on looking at the map, it appears that Anchor Way Hood river location is the quickest in and out if traveling on 84 west, and the Cascade Ave location would be quicker traveling east. Is this correct?

The Hood River Anchor Way Supercharger has more convenient access from I-84, either direction. It showed up on my car and phone app today.

Plug in, walk 100 ft and you are on the Columbia River, coffee shops, brew pubs, restaurants, bathrooms, swimming beach and various wind sports launch sites. Miles of paved walking paths along the river both east and west, gorgeous views. Downtown HR is a 5 minute walk.

The Cascade Ave location is in a supermarket parking lot, fast food, small strip mall. It is a busy local road and location, and awkward access to the freeway.

Hood River has had 24 Supercharger stalls installed in two locations, in 13-14 months!

16 new superchargers working in Hood River on Anchor Way. I charged there last night. Whoever lays out the concrete work, curbs, spacing the parking spots, etc. is not very smart - very tight and a bunch of wheels are gonna get curbed.

I guess it's an existing street, however I'm not sure a two-way existing street is wide enough.

Charged earlier this AM and the only car. Didn’t show on my navigation, but maybe I don’t have the latest update. Awesome coffee at Stoked, perhaps the best I’ve ever had in the US, maybe even Europe.

How are wheels going to get curbed with back in spots?

Porsches will need to park sideways.

We visited the new Anchor Way Supercharger this weekend with our Model 3. I understand the wheel curbing comment. In my opinion, it pertains to entering the charging area from the east- not actually backing into the chargers. The entrance seems un-necessarily tight, and you pretty much have to do a 90 deg turn from a tight parking lot lane into a tight entrance into the Supercharger area. I was the only one there and was a bit nervous. Had the east 3-4 stalls been occupied (where it's curved), it will be even worse navigating between the curbs. Entering from the west is much more open. From the parking lot, just go past the 1st entrance into the Superchargers and head to the far end/corner. Much easier to enter. I can see this becoming the official flow of traffic in the future with painted arrows. My 2 cents.

By the way, Stoked and Ferment were top notch! This is probably the only time that I've ever felt that my Supercharging session was too short.

Thanks for the advice on entry to the site and clarifying earlier comments.

So the Safeway location is only shown in the app and not on the website? The Anchor Way location was need today because the Safeway location was closed for 9 hours, due to police activity in the area. Shooting suspect in custody after hours-long standoff in Hood River home, evacuations lifted

The plans show that it’s a one way, enter on the west and exit on the east.

Good find! I hadn't seen this plan, and the directional arrows aren't there yet in real live- but it was certainly intuitive, as I came up with this as a recommended way in for my post above. This does highlight the curb rub spot visually. Since the arrows aren't there, you instinctively want to take the first (east) location. This is barely 1 car wide. Going all the way down to the corner (west end) is much wider. I hope they put in the actual arrows down on the asphalt, or some kind of signage- which would help quite a bit. Thanks!

Went by Saturday around 1pm. The pizza place was just swarmed. Hour wait. There will need to be some serious increase in food places come the summer I think

Very well said. I frequent the SCs near Safeway and have been using the new Anchor Way SCs since they were operational. The first time that I pulled in I had to roll my windows down (tinted and it was late at night) to make sure that I didn't curb my wheels. It's not an issue once you know the layout, but poor design indeed.

Funny enough my avatar pic was taken at the Anchor Way SC.
