Supercharger - Hood River, OR

[⚡️ELECTROMAN⚡️]

This is my current top pick for a Supercharger location. I think it's been coming soon for quite a while. Anyone have any info on this location?

I'd be good if they located it in the parking lot across from the Full Sail Brewery!

as much as this would make my wife the happiest woman on the planet, I think that is probably not a good location. it's in. town a bit, and not a lot of parking (that lot is regularly full), though there is an EV spot right there.

I would put my money on next to the sinclair right off the interstate. lots of open space and the sushi bar up the way. I might even pick the Hampton inn first. there are also a number of good spots by the waterfront park.

Hampton Inn would be a good call.

Movie Theatre parking lot... I'd rather be able to enjoy the town (Hood River's is nice) than be uber-convenient to the freeway. The movie theatre is right downtown. And Hood River is super small anyways (almost nowhere isn't right off the freeway)... esp downtown.

Agree

I think it's kind of a laugh to talk about it being all the way "in town" when it's like a quarter of a mile. You may have a point about needing to pick a place with enough parking, but aside from that, there is not much on that North side of the highway by the Sinclair, and I would much prefer to have it in town where there is a whole lot more to do within just a few blocks.

Just saying, if you gotta go build something, it’s probably going to be easier to not do it in the middle of a town that is already high traffic rather than build it in an emptier area. The waterfront park is far more clear, has breweries, more places to park, places to eat, and is the same distance as full sail. The Sinclair side has enough and lots of space. Sadly, tesla doesn’t really seem to think about our stomachs or we wouldn’t have north bend where it is.

I think if we (and note, I would like full sail as well) want full sail, contacting whoever owns the parking over in that area, where they would put the supercharger, and telling them that we’d encourage them to be open to this as we would go there specifically because they allowed it to happen. This would precondition (heh) them for any communication from tesla

North Bend is in the parking lot of a restaurant. You may not like the restaurant but it is right there. There are a few other nearby eating options as well.

maybe the right word there is taste buds, but the point remains - AN option for food is maybe a factor, but a preferred is probably not in their factoring.

Since we're bringing up locations with terrible food options... Kennewick.

amen to that, though I don’t normally use it. Azteca, a grocery store, a Starbucks inside, and a jack in the box.

For me it has been just a bathroom break on the way home to the west, but going out It, heading to the east it would be the perfect place to have lunch.
