Thanks for posting. Heading to New Port Richey from Ontario sometime next month or January. Any idea when these supercharger stations will be operational?

An optimistic best guess is it will be online by the end of December or early January, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't go online til sometime in February.

Any progress being made at Wawa location? Wonder why it's taking so long to get superchargers operational.

I've been helping with construction updates for 4+ years now and all I can say is that from the start of construction to the time the superchargers go online it can be anywhere from 3-5 months. I don't recall any locations going online faster than 90 days but I could be wrong about that. There are reports of pre-fab supercharger construction where the chargers are mounted to large concrete slabs offsite, but I haven't seen that in Florida yet.

Thanks for the reply. It's going to be difficult for me to drive to New Port Richey in a few weeks... Doesn't seem to be any nearby superchargers and the local j1772 chargers are very slow and limited availability. Unfortunately not able to charge where I'm staying.

The SC location in Odessa, FL (went online last week) is only 6-7 miles from the New Port Richey location.
