Supercharger - Orangeburg, SC
- Thread starter loganwatson
- Start date
The last plugshare report said it was roped off. Has anyone seen it up close? Vandalism?
It is a pretty important site.
I found a photo on Facebook. Apparently there is construction and some sort of solar going in. I'm guessing a solar canopy? The post said it would be ready by Thanksgiving. I certainly hope so, as this route is busy and there aren't a lot of alternatives.

That would be very cool to have solar powered superchargers here in SC...usually only see that stuff out west.

That's exciting. I hope they are finished before Thanksgiving but it doesn't look like they will be. I would love to use that unit on my way from Atlanta to Charleston. It isn't essential but it is convenient.
Considering how quickly they got that frame up and the first few panels on, I think they have a chance. I doubt it has to be turned on for them to turn the superchargers back on.

I should be stopping there on Tuesday if it is on line and I'll try to take some snaps.
Let us know. I need to hit this stop Thursday to avoid hitting the old stop in Columbia.

Wilco. I would trust the in car map with the units most as a unit can go down near trip time. I plan to stop there but have enough to reach the Charleston SC just in case. Pics won't be before tonight.

Orangeburg was open and fully covered with panels but the system isn't functioning yet. The Superchargers worked fine, however.

Will have to drive down there someday just to get a picture of my car charging under that array.

They likely opened it for Thanksgiving traffic and will finish it next week.

I’m so glad they did it. It’s so hot there over the road in the summer. The shade is welcome! Headed down today for vacation on the coast of South Carolina. Looks like station is online in the nav.

Given the state of construction, I don't think they will have to shut it down again to get the solar stuff going (except maybe momentarily). The shade sure will be welcome in summer.

I charged at Orangeburg yesterday on the way back to Atlanta. The station was reporting "no more than 5 minute wait" but when I got there, there were only three cars charging and when I left (about 15 minutes later), only one other than me. I was very surprised at the basic lack of congestion for the Thanksgiving weekend. Teslas are all over the place in Charleston and Isle of Palms now. When I started going there 4 years ago, I could go and not see one on the entire trip! It really is a sea change.
