Supercharger - Newport News, VA

[rod_c]

As of today, Sept 16, only visible change is removal of temporary fencing.

There are no visible changes as of Sept 30 and no great high speed options nearby. Electrify America appears to be struggling. Meanwhile the nearby Greelots CHAdeMO charger has been decommissioned. I travel to this area frequently and really look forward to a better charging solution.

Can someone get a close up shot of the information panel on the cabinet? If so, we might be able to discern if the charger is a V3 (which the pedestal delay has me wondering). It would be an excellent place for a higher speed charger to keep the EV traffic flowing.

spoiler: ITS NOT V3!!!

No need for close-ups when the supercharger cabinets are already on site. The V2 and V3 cabinets look decidedly different. And these are definitely V2.

If you're unfamiliar, this is what a V3 cabinet looks like:

I just counted 12 stalls. 10 reverse in and 2 pull forward. Still no pedestals though.

Thanks for keeping this up to date. I have family in Chesapeake and it'll be nice to charge up on the way.

Stopped by this evening and the pedestals are installed. I tried to charge on several of the stalls but they aren't hot yet.

This is the same status as in Salem, VA. Good news, all around!

My son sent me this photo this afternoon. I don't think they are turned on yet (awaiting final inspection?) but otherwise everything looks done.

Chargers remained dark as of this evening

Chargers are active. Thanks Tesla!

Slow charge at 32kW. Currently 47 deg F out. It’s possible temperature is negatively affecting the charge rate, but still seems low.

Open now!

32 and 67kW? That’s like an urban charger... has anyone been able to charge faster?

I charged November 29th in my X100D and saw a peak of 321.9 mph charge rate according to my TeslaFi logs. That was at a 46% SoC (I arrived at 17%). Not sure how this translates to kW but I'm pretty confident it's higher than 100kW.

EDIT - found an image of the charging session (102kW)

Thanks! This is super convenient to my brother’s house, so I’m very glad to see this
