Any updates on this Supercharger? My son may be moving to Huntsville soon so I hope this one gets built.
That could indicate a deal for the location fell through. I hope not, although it could result in a better location. Where would residents prefer a SuC location for yourself or for visitors?I went by a week or two ago, and there was no activity. Oddly, it has disappeared from the Tesla coming soon map, but it was originally expected in Q1 2022. Hopefully it'll get going soon.

Living in Florida now, I've learned most supercharger locations never appear on the Coming Soon map even once they are under construction. I don't think Huntsville ever was on that map, and we know Leeds and Robertsdare are both getting one but are also not on the map.That could indicate a deal for the location fell through.

Huntsville, itself, is a significant destination for a number of reasons. For folks coming to Huntsville from any direction other than south on I-65, Athens is too far out of the way.I would call this location fair to good for locals that need to supercharge. It's a developing area that has a few things to do while waiting, and those are bound to get better. However, getting in and out is not always quick.
That last reason is also why I'd rate it a fair to bad location for pass through travelers. This location is a significant detour from Interstate 565, which I suspect carries most of the pass through traffic, particularly ones heading on to Interstate 65 south.

I guess I was assuming it would be targeted for individuals coming to Huntsville. Athens is not great for Huntsville. We usually approach Huntsville via Ardmore. Not much to do there, however, without making a significant jaunt off the path.Agreed. It's in a decent spot as a destination charger for out of town visitor.
In Tesla-speak “destination charger” connotates an L2 not a Supercharger.Agreed. It's in a decent spot as a destination charger for out of town visitor.
Yes I'm aware destination chargers are typically Level 2. I only used that word in the context of Tesla owners who might stay multiple days in town with no other charging option.In Tesla-speak “destination charger” connotates an L2 not a Supercharger.
But agree the City of Huntsville needs a Supercharger at their pet pork project to draw affluent spenders. Just as Birmingham did for Uptown.
No one will divert from I-65 to explicitly use this Supercharger but the combination of Supercharger and something else of interest might tempt one away from the Athens Supercharger.
Meh. Developers would include EV charging in apartment complexes if they thought they could attract prosperous renters. But (especially in Alabama) that target audience purchases houses.Huntsville has lots of young upwardly mobile professional families that choose to live in apartments with no possibility of L2 overnight charging. This is definitely a segment of the demographic Tesla is aiming to sell EV's to.
I think it'll be faster. I'm going with June 26.Yes! That sure looks like the correct Supercharger equipment. I wonder how long it'll take? I'll take the first guess with it being operational by July 27, 2022.
