Supercharger - Lynchburg, VA

paratrooper · Dec 20, 2019

Anyone know if progress has been made at the site? Having to plan a roadtrip to Lynchburg in the not so distant future.

Thanks all for the updates!

When did the Superchargers go wireless? Still needs some work, the charging speed was horrendous.

No changes observed today.

Sad, but not shocking. Dominion isn't coming out for this on a Sunday.

Stopped by today. Two spots are ICE'd ,so tow I called a tow truck (j/k). No visual progress. An employee told me they were supposed to be opened in August, but they are waiting on back-ordered parts. She said they have been largely kept in the dark and don't know when they will open.

This particular site is supposed to have v3 chargers, so they are waiting for the cabinets and pedestals to be delivered before they can complete the setup. V3 was rolled out in Canada, is starting to be rolled out in China and I expect the "unfinished" SuC stations in the US to start receiving the equipment soon.

2 in Fairfield, CT opened this week. It's starting.

My in-laws are in Pamplin. I'd use this one for local driving once I got down here.

Alas, we're headed back to MA in the morning. But when we come back in May, I hope it's up and running. Lol

Interesting that Farmville is now listed on the official Supercharger map, but Lynchburg is still not listed.

Also, as a side note, Williamsburg is now listed as coming soon, but unfortunately nothing for Danville. We're getting there.....

It's great that Tesla (and partners) are filling in big charging station gaps in the state that aren't necessarily along an interstate (but are heavily travelled by folks within the state).

The Sheetz in Danville is currently closed for a complete renovation, gas pumps and all. I've been checking every couple of weeks to look for any signs of a Supercharger installation but so far I've seen nothing obvious. I sent a message to Sheetz asking if there would be a Supercharger added as part of the construction, but I've not heard anything back yet. I'm hopeful, as the nearby Sheetz locations in Greensboro, Lynchburg, Salem, and Madison all have Superchargers. I also think it's very likely that the new Farmville Supercharger location will be at the Sheetz at 460 and 15.

Here's hoping that Superchargers are part of that renovation project in Danville. Keep us posted!

As far as Farmville, I agree, but the only concern I have is that the Sheetz in Farmville is always packed and there's barely enough room to park or drive through the lot. Maybe they will extend the lot as part of the install.

Yea, that one would be tight. I could see if maybe they expanded the pavement in the red circle I've drawn below. I imagine with Lynchburg not too far away, they won't make this one into a 12-spot layout.

Only thing brewing so far (I mean, today was only the first workday of 2020....) is that the BP a little down the street from Sheetz is having their parking lot completely replaced.

Ticket Search

I'll stop commenting on Lynchburg's thread though...sorry guys. Farmville stuff will be over here:

Speculation: Farmville, VA Supercharger??

There is some progress at the Lynchburg site. As of yesterday, there were two white cabinets installed that I definitely hadn't seen previously. I didn't get a picture, but they looked similar to the ones in this post here: Pictures of V3 Supercharger cabinets

That's great news! Now all we need are the pedestals and if they shipped the cabinets, I would think the pedestals shouldn't be too far behind. When I get a chance, I'll swing by to take a look.

Awesome!

We have to do the MA to VA trip an extra time this year, in May, and not just for Christmas. Hoping this one AND FarmVegas are online by then, but I won't hold my breath on the new one.

SgCoren · Jan 21, 2020

Just drove by. One charger cabinet is partially installed and there are several pallets with the rest taking up the parking spots. Finally some progress.

I noticed more chargers have been dropped in while driving by. Took pictures. Not active yet but I am excited!!!
