Supercharger - Covington, LA

[BerTX]

There is a utility survey for a Supercharger location in Covington, LA. Utility surveys are not always an indication of siting, but almost always there has to be one for construction to begin.

The location is at the River Chase shopping center at the intersection of L-21 and Brewster, stated to be in the Belk parking lot.

If someone in the area can check it out, that would be great.

This is not a site listed as coming soon on the Tesla map.

Reddit user tatopuig posted to /r/TeslaLounge that a new ticket has been submitted to Louisiana One Call for work related to the installation of chargers at the local Target. The work is being done for Tesla.

The ticket lists the city as Mandeville, while the address of the Target places it in Covington. I'll add this location to supercharge.info as Mandeville for now.

Good access to the causeway, and can take some strain off the BR Supercharger. It’s a Stirling Properties location, they also mange the shopping center that has the Slidell and Lafayette Superchargers, so hopefully it goes through this time. They submitted a ticket for this location a few years ago at almost the same spot, but never started construction.

Mandeville, LA

Along Primary Interstates: I-12
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): US-190
Along Auxiliary Interstates: None

I-12

From: Start (I-10 Baton Rouge, LA) - 59.1 miles
To: End (I-10 Slidell, LA) - 26.6 miles
Diversion: 0.8 miles

From: Baton Rouge, LA (I-10, I-12) - 62.2 miles
To: Slidell, LA (I-12, I-10) - 29.7 miles

From: Lafayette, LA (I-10, I-12) - 115 miles
To: D'Iberville, MS (I-12, I-10) - 80.5 miles

To: Metairie, LA (I-12, US-190, LA-LPC*) - 35.7 miles
To: McComb, MS (I-12, I-55) - 76.3 miles

Looks like I-12 finally gets a Supercharger.

Splits the 194.8 mile v3 Supercharger gap I-10-I-12-I-10 between Lafayette, LA and D'Iberville, MS, so helps avoid v2 stops at Baton Rouge, LA and the large diversion to Slidell, LA.

I thought I remembered something in Covington. I didn't remember it as this exact site, but something sort of close. Brewster Rd. seemed familiar.

Not much info there (only 2 posts), but the old thread was at Supercharger - Covington, LA

And for whatever reason that thread never included a link to that original utility location request from 2018, but here it is.

Covington seems like the correct city. First of course that’s where the Target is. It’s also right off the interstate compared to Mandeville. And they are adding a supercharger in Metairie which is a solution to the causeway traffic. Mandeville just makes less sense as a priority compared to Covington.

As a new Tesla owner from the Northshore, I didn’t even realize there were no super chargers on the Southshore yet. Of course I realize that now that I am here with 20% battery.

If there is supposed to be a super charger installed here, there is no sign of any sort of activity. I will keep watching for you all since I live close.

Tesla was granted a zoning waiver for their supercharger plans at the St. Tammany Parish Board of Adjustment meeting on 2021-07-06. In the discussion of the project, they gave the station details: 12 V3 superchargers (using 3 prefab set ups) and 4 L2 charging stalls.

Thanks for the detail. Looks like it's at a Target in Covington (not Mandeville).

Was in the area today so went by to see if any signs of this but couldn't find any. The remodel of the store is complete and all the construction trailers in the parking lot are gone but no signs of supercharger construction anywhere I could find around the Target parking lot,

Thanks for the update. I don't know why Tesla is dragging their feet on this one. I wonder if someone should contact Dewberry Engineering.

Listed as Q3 2022 in Tesla Find Us map.

This might be the real thing, 4 years later.

There is a pin on the Find Us map with an estimated completion date of Q3 2022.

Supercharge.info reset the amount of days the charger has been in permit mode and listed it as a new project under the updates section. Might be an automated glitch but is probably a sign that the station will finally get built.

Yep - we'll fix that today. I didn't realize there was an existing pin under a different name, and created a new one.

So maybe construction begins tomorrow?

Yup, there was a permit in 2018, another in 2021 listed as Mandeville, LA even though it was the same location. And now we have this one from a few days ago. It’s kinda crazy how many Superchargers have opened in the area during that time.
