The proper meter cabinet is now installed. Guess we're now waiting on Tesla to activate the Superchargers. Interesting that this resembles the same one that is at Chaffee Rd Supercharger.
Thanks Don,
I am informed by Tesla that they are shooting for next Wednesday, July 21 to energize.

Thanks for the update. I'm in PA this week so it should be up when I return. Not making any bets on it though.

the philips hwy location is only a few miles from the Wawa at the town center location, I don't get all the hub bub about the new location.
Closer to the highway with 50% more stalls. Ideal for travel up and down I-95 while the location at Wawa is a little better suited for Jacksonville Beach visitors and travelers on I-295. Also V3 instead of V2.

I don't think that you know what you are commenting on, the only advantage would be the V3.
I live in JAX, I think that I have a better handle on the lay of the land.
Closer to i95 for travelers passing through, and also a v3 (250kw vs 150kw) supercharger so no stall sharing as well.
I-95N to the town center Wawa and back is an 8.4 mile diversion estimated to take 13 minutes. I-95N to Philips Highway and back is a 1.9 mile diversion estimated to take just 5 minutes. Living in JAX, you probably have no need for either of these Superchargers. As a traveler, I'll take the 12 stall V3 that's closer to the highway over the 8 stall V2 any day.

Florida is coming along very well. Good to see the new chargers in Jacksonville. Need to visit again. Last time I was there was when the USS Forrestal was in town.

The town center location is always busy. One station is dead. Since it usually is full your maximum charge is typically 60-70 KW.
The Philips HWY one is a good location right off I-95 and should be fast because it has 12 stations and is 250KW with no sharing.
The only negative on the Philips WAWA SC is it took away 12 public parking spots and the WAWA is very busy so I expect to see many of the Tesla spots ICE'd. The signage says 15min general parking.
BTW- I live 1.4 miles from this and have free SC with the M S so I expect to make good use of it in off hours. The M Y is better off charging at home as the T SC is double the electric rates.
Big Earl- You also have the Yulee SC with 8 V3 along I-95 and the west I295 bypass has an 8 station SC V3. Welcome to Jacksonville.

I thought it wasn’t charging my credit car either while I was at the SC, but when I got home, I saw that tesla did charge my credit card.

HA! My mother is on her way to the Keys and stopped here. I didn't see it in plugshare or in the supercharge info website so I came here to mention it... and it's ALIVE... you guys already knew!

It;s been in Plug Share as "Opening Soon" for a couple months. I will also confirm I tested it Friday. It showed up in my Tesla map on Friday too but the count only showed 6 / 12 open. There were two of us there at the time.

Just charged up the M Y at WAWA and peaked at 226KW. Did not hit 250 because I only preconditioned for a few minutes since I live so close to this station. I pulled in with 278miles of Referral free in my account. I added 178 miles to the battery. I now have 160 miles remaining. Once my free miles are used up I will be charging at home at JEA rates.
