Supercharger - Mobile, AL

[SW2Fiddler]

noooooo, not another Greenville! Speaking of Greenville, that one is coming up on its one year anniversary celebration for starting the process. There will be cake.

Wonder if it will be the record holder for "time from permit to open". I know the site owner became locked into lawsuits and it was out of Tesla's hands, but still, it's been almost a year.

The cake is a... let's just say, cake will be served on 3/14 at 1:59...

It's 3/14/15, so that other sort of cake should properly be served at 9:26:53.

Ooh, yes that's right. Or both, we could have second breakfast...

I will be driving by on the 14th. Should be able to submit pics of any progress. I will be sure to thank young lady at Wendy's

Hey Sublimaze1, we're all looking forward to your update on the progress of this location!! Safe travels...

I have heard from a reliable source that this site should start in the next couple of months...keep your eyes open.

Totally off topic but you haven't heard anything from your "reliable source" about Buffalo or Erie have you? You can post in those threads if you have. Thanks

I should have stated that as within the next couple of months. Could be tomorrow; could be in two months...the source is reliable, but not precise.

Had to go to Target this afternoon and did not see anything.

Very disappointed to hear that jvmoore1, but thanks for checking. I need that station up by 4/21!

Anyone know of any decent lodging with charging near Mobile (other than RV parks)? I only see one on Plugshare, but it's a 110v.

 

[jvmoore1]

honestly i would be very surprised if there is any kind of charging stations here. I have actually thought about installing some as a business since they are so scarce.

Benson Appliance in Foley has a HPWC on Plugshare, and someone posted recently it's within walking distance of Hotel Magnolia.

Thanks, I'll look into that hotel.

Wow, great to see Benson Appliance continuing to carry the EV torch! I believe that was the very first public EVSE in all of Alabama (not counting Nissan dealerships for the usual reasons). I visited there a couple years ago and had a nice chat with store owner Ed Benson, who at the time had a Nissan Leaf and now I guess has a Tesla Model S, seeing that there's an 80 Amp HPWC there now.

No construction brewing there this morning. Charging in Foley as predicted. Two teslas here now.

Went by target this afternoon as saw what I would think would be the location of the supercharger. Grabbed a couple of pics. Looks to be in the parking lot next to Bel Air blvd in front of target. I can post the pic if needed, just seems my other posts with urls get sent to limbo.

 

[HillCountryFun]

Jvmoore1: Thanks for the post, did you find markings on the parking lot or survey flags? Something that indicated where they plan to begin working? Thanks again!!

 

[jvmoore1]

here is the pic i was able to grab real quick.

That sure looks like it could be Supercharger construction starting. The concrete forming is typical for putting in pedestals.

Did you see any big conduits under the concrete forms, Supercharger gear, Tesla labeled crates, or Schneider/Square-D labeled crates in the area? Any of those would confirm it.
