Supercharger - Myrtle Beach, SC

Yup, I was thinking about that, but I couldn't figure it out. Anyone want to share a tip on that process with me?

I'm sure you would have to contact a moderator.

Real progress! Looks like it's nearly complete.

Nice! Anyone see a transformer yet? (If I missed it - sorry)

I'll make time to go by tomorrow and get some more panoramas... but I'll get a central angle this time... assuming the lot is clear enough when I'm there.

I was there this afternoon. Is the transformer in the big white box to the right of the photo? If so, there were two men working on it today. They are sworn to secrecy, however, regarding the opening date.

I like that they a accessible from either side. Much less of a chance of being iced.

The big white boxes are the high voltage distribution centers. The transfer is a dark green box, which I think is visible in the photo behind the left-most charging pedestal.

We have been vacationing every summer for 50 years in Ocean Isle Beach. Can't wait for this to open!!!

Transformer is there to the left. GREAT. Not much waiting at this point.

Thanks for the pics!

I just received a notification from the App "Superchargers" that someone successfully charged today at this Supercharger. Could it have opened already?

Only way to know for sure is to check in the car map!

Edi - just checked. Not on the map in the car.

From what I have heard Charleston is supposed to get a Service Center.

Was at CLT last week. Looks like we will likely be getting an enhanced Ranger Service here - not a full blown center. (which makes sense) Big story on this rollout today online at Electrek

No, all that tells you is that it's not on the map. Superchargers have been known to be working for weeks, and pretty much every single one works for a couple of days before it makes it to the maps in the cars.

Tomato, tomatoe - until someone reports charging there, or it appears on the maps, it would be unwise to plan a trip expecting to use it. And agreed, supercharger rollout has no standard timing or end user visible clues to follow. Heck Columbia SC appeared without anyone even knowing it was underway.

To the point of this thread, in the Carolina Resla FB group, a member posted a pic last night showing the stands still wrapped...

On a visit to MB. As of this afternoon, the transformer is in place, but there is no meter installed. So no charging just yet.

This is Saturday.

I think the double sided access is an awesome idea.

I think the double sided access is an awesome idea.

Me too. Even without EV markings the risk of ICEing or Non-Charging TSLAing is much reduced. In the couple of locations I recall that are so designed I've charged on both sides.
