Supercharger - Mechanicsville, VA

[dsnows]

V2s share power with their peer stall so if someone else was charging next to you, you were probably only getting what was leftover. The chargers are numbered 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, etc. If someone is using 2a, don't use 2b. One of the biggest benefits of V3s is that they do not share power between the chargers. Each car will get the maximum power its battery will allow on V3s.

Yep, I'm always careful to avoid sharing a numbered charger at V2 stations. One of the confusing things is that the 8 original stalls at Glen Allen are not set up with paired chargers next to each other. They are 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 1b, 2b, 3b, 4b (instead of 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b,...) You can be a 2a and have someone at 2b which is four stalls away. A lot of drivers don't realize this. The other 12 newer stalls are paired next to each other.

I went by this location yesterday. Didn’t get a picture but the transformer is now in place. Still not open but making progress.

These superchargers are now open! If only my car would come in...

I should have my model 3 by the end of the month. We will usually charge at home but this will be my go to supercharger for times I need a faster fill up. When you look at this in the car does it show the rate per kWh? I don’t see that information on the Tesla website but maybe I don’t know where to look.

The price will be displayed in the car navigation when you click on the supercharger pin on the map. Expect it to be about 3x what you pay at home.

Not a bad location. closer to 295 would be better, but I’ll take what I can get.
