Supercharger - Norfolk, VA - N Military Hwy

[MarcoRP]

A while ago, I found a site approval for a Tesla EV Charging Station in the Shadywood East district. No address was indicated, but after checking Google Maps it’s easy to see it’s a pretty small area, and in it, a Wawa.

I asked the city about the permit, but I was told I have to be either a Wawa or Tesla exec to see the documents. So there must be something going on, right??

Anyway, it’s been a while that I haven’t been able to get any developments, so I’m just posting the thread here today in hopes that someone may have more intel on this location.

I was visiting Sandbridge this week and there really ought to be a supercharger in VA Beach proper. Nearly 30 miles from the beach to the Norfolk Janaf SC location, a bit too much

Wow, in a different lifetime...back when I was just a baby E-5 in the Navy, I lived in the apartments on Edward St, next to the fire station.....man....that was at least 17 years ago now.

I had to play around on Street View, because I don't recognize the neighborhood.

This looks to be a better spot than the one at JANAF.

This location would be easier access from I-64 and is the exit to Norfolk International Airport. It is about one mile further to the right of the above satellite photo.

Also, Supercharge.info indicates that the Janaf Supercharger is being expanded. It needs it. It is usually over 50% and often full.

Any idea if Telsa is likely to switch the existing to V3?

Hi @RClarke, where did you see discussion that the existing Norfolk Supercharger is being expanded?

 

[RClarke]

I went back checking for the reference and can not find anything.
I must have confused the two Norfolk locations.

Sorry for the false hope!

Finally got ahold of the Norfolk permit. Will be V3

There is one planned and permitted on Va. Beach Blvd about 5 miles from the beach. It's going at a Wawa.

Thats great. When does it go up?

Please see this separate thread for discussion of the upcoming Virginia Beach Supercharger.

who knows

 

[corywright]

A ticket was submitted by Leading Edge Services on Apr 26 requesting utility markings.

 

[tibook]

makes sense they would do that project while in the area for the VB charger

Virginia Beach location is ready to be turned on and the Norfolk Wawa broke ground this week! Sharing pics from local Facebook Group.

*** Actually only 3 miles for any sane person, but when I do the US Numbered Highways I assume following the highway, diverting and returning to the highway at about the same place (unless there's some weird triangle thing going on)..

Because Norfolk, VA deserves 3 Superchargers.

OK, so actually a version 3 Supercharger closer to I-64 than the existing location, although farther from US-13.

Curious if anyone nearby has a construction status update for this location. How close does it look to opening? Pedestals up? Transformer & meter in? etc... Thanks!

 

[Big Earl]

It’s looking really close. Supercharger construction appears to be complete. Meter is installed but no power. There are a couple of holes that need to be filled. There appear to be two fire extinguisher cabinets mounted at either end of the Tesla area… never seen that before.

 

[Tdreamer]

I guess the Tesla battery fire FUD is finally starting to reach the municipalities that review/approve site plans
