Supercharger - Newport News, VA

[pelargir]

Does anyone have information on this planned Supercharger in Newport News, Virginia? It's shown on Tesla's web site as going online in late 2018 but they don't seem to have identified an actual location for it yet. We're eager for this location to be built since it will be very convenient for our trips to Williamsburg.

Every supercharger says late 2018. Even the ones that were late 2017. They all were just +1'd to 2018.

People scan permit databases trying to see things, but it's hit or miss, as stuff shows up, like the Fredericksburg one...

Like all Tesla comms, would be nice to actually have someone telling us a construction schedule. But that would probably be 'a too boring topic' (that's an EM joke.... ).

Has anyone heard any updates for this charger?

I seen the supercharger today at Patrick Henry Mall. Looks mostly complete. Close to Dicks Sporting's Goods. Looks like it should open soon!

This listing just appeared on PlugShare about 10 minutes ago. Apparently, the Newport News Virginia Supercharger is under construction. The Supercharger is said to be located at the Patrick Henry Mall close to the Dick’s Sporting Goods. Newport News is slated to have a Supercharger for this year, so let’s see how this goes.

Address: 12300 Jefferson Ave, Newport News, VA 23602, USA - 6 stalls

Confirmed. I’ve talked to the PlugShare user who found the location, which tells me the parking area in which the Supercharger will be is dug up and fenced off, and that the estimated opening date is October 15th. PlugShare Location

Will add this on Supercharge Info

There's already an existing TMC thread for this location, but it's technically in the wrong sub-forum (Southeast instead of Mid-Atlantic): Supercharger - Newport News, VA

 

[MarcoRP]

Yes, it is under construction! Getting these photos now from user Uncle Bill on PlugShare. It seems there is actually 12 stalls rather than 6. He tells me there are about 11 parking stalls for Teslas. Will update Supercharge Info. @Big Earl @JSergeant

I checked this out Thursday August 8. Looks like they are in the early stages of construction. Looks like it will be a while before this is operational. 2 pictures here.

 

[Dennybobva]

Oh, it is around back in Patrick Henry Mall to the right of Dick's Sporting Goods.

August 8 - clearly in the early stages of construction. Location: you have to go around back of the Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News. The mall is on Jefferson Avenue and is close to the exit/entrance for I-64. They are to the right of the Dick's Sporting Goods store. You can see the DSG sign logo in this picture.

Looks like all of the electrical support is finished. Supercharger cabinets and buck boost transformers are all installed with conduit complete. Looks like the site is just waiting on pedestals to show up.

I'm in Newport News for the night and thought I would stop by and see if there had been any noticeable progress. No change in the pedestals. I'm glad to see them building this one.

Sounds familiar

I know other SuperChargers being built in VA/NC (Cary, Salem, Lynchburg, Madison) are all waiting for the pedestals, as well. Rumor has it, it won't be for another month or two. Let's hope that it is only a rumor!

 

[PennStateMatt]

Woohoo! Thanks for the updates.

Here's a link to the page in the Mid-Atlantic region page: Supercharger - Newport News, VA Be aware: All of the new SuC sites in VA/NC are waiting for the pedestals to be delivered. It could be Sept/Oct timeframe, FWIW.

 

[SleepingPelica]

I stopped by on Saturday night (Aug 24) and no visible change. Still no pedestals so based on the previous comment sounds like a lot of current construction projects are all waiting on these.
