Supercharger - Lakeland, FL
- Thread starter Sans Gas
- Start date
I checked for permit applications at the addresses of the 2 Wawas in Lakeland. Nothing there. So, either it won't be at either of those Wawas or they haven't reached the point where they're ready to apply for permits yet.
UPDATE: I found a building permit for "Installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Station" at the Wawa near the Lakeland Square Mall on US-98 just a bit north of I-4. There's nothing in the online record that would confirm that it's a supercharger or for Tesla, but the timings for the various steps in the approval process fit Tesla's MO. Also, Tesla has a longstanding partnership with Wawa to put superchargers at their locations. So I certainly won't be surprised if this is it. Just need someone to swing by and find out for sure. Given that the permit was issued 2 weeks ago, there's a good chance whatever it's for is under construction already.
Address: 4320 US Hwy 98 N, Lakeland, FL 33809
Permit #BLD19-04897

By playing around a little bit more with the Lakeland permitting portal, I was able to confirm that it was Tesla that applied for the permit. So, I would say this is very, very likely the supercharger.

Another great location! That one will work well for the trips that I take to Flordia.

The parking lot size reminds me of the Sand Lake Rd Location in Orlando and I'm thinking they might use the eight parking spots all the way to the north.

There are also 8 parking spots on the west side of the property, on the back side of the Wawa from Hwy 98. You're right, it is a tight space.
My office is just a couple of miles from there. I'll swing by every now and then to check progress.
This SC, or more accurately the promise thereof, is one of the reasons I bought my X almost a year ago. I had it in my mind that I would rely much more heavily on superchargers than I ended up doing. In any case, it's really good to finally see progress here.

They expire 6 months from issuance or the last substantive activity. In this case, they expire in mid-August unless the construction starts before then, which would reset the expiration clock. However, even if they do expire, it's not a big deal. It just means that Tesla would have to pay a fee to revive them. This process can only be more than a minuscule hassle if new building codes are adopted in the interim, and even then only if the new codes have changes that impact the plans--i.e. changes to the prior approved plans to comply with the new codes would be required.
Basically, it's not a concern.

Well there are 8 parking spots to the rear of the building and 8 to the right. Only 2 locations for possible chargers. Patrons won’t be happy as parking is limited. Maybe they will do like they did in Sarasota and put them in the lot right near Wawa. If not most of the charging spot will get Iced. Experience that a lot in WV.
