Supercharger - Pooler, GA

[Mulligan Jake]

New location for Savannah Supercharging and opening soon. Located at Parkers on Pooler Parkway, off
I-16. If you are on I-95, take I-16 West, then take first exit. Very convenient, but again, not open yet.

Must be this one that was planned

The long-planned supercharging site in Pooler GA appears to be well underway, here:

Parker's Kitchen (gas station and restaurant)
2111 Pooler Pkwy
Pooler, GA 31322

This is according to comments this afternoon in the Savannah thread, which I have now requested get moved over to this new thread (and by the time you read this, they may show up above this comment due to their time stamps).

There's an existing Georgia Power site at the Enmarket on the other side of the highway at this same exit.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of parking spots here - maybe new ones are getting added?

It was mentioned in the other thread, but pics would be greatly appreciated.

Too bad…I was hoping it would have been located up the road on Pooler by the Panera Bread.

Since the Airport Supercharger is in about the same location I was hoping about 10 miles south at I95/204

Alright so I called the Parker's Kitchen to confirm the original report, and they said there's 8 stalls installed at the front entrance to the business, but they're waiting on the transformer. Site added to supercharge.info.

A little bird tells me that Rivian had plans to put stations here too. That was a while ago so may no longer be true, but it's something to keep an eye out for at this site over the next year. They didn't get the dealer law fix they'd been pressing for in the last state legislature session, so they may have paused those plans for now and focused first on states that are already on board. Call your state congressmen! (Click here, enter zip, adjust map marker pin, voila names and contact info for your two people.)

I got a local to stop by and get a picture. The photo is tiny, but you can see the big gas station sign and that tells us that it is in the northwest corner of the property, taking up the existing parking spots shown in the upper left corner of the photo in comment #5 above, where the solitary white car is.

I've already asked him if he noticed if the utility transformer was installed. It'll be a big green cube. That might be it there at the right edge of this photo.

Wonder if Savannah (airport) going to stay open? Seems that being routed to a SC that requires parking pass/walking, finding to comp and poor V2 vs a new V3 would be disappointing. [rhetorical] If it stays open will the routing just use Airport as overflow after Pooler is full?

Sorta seems strange that Tesla didn't do like at Atlantic Station and just add the V3s to the Airport since they are so close.

I've charged at SAV Airport a few months ago. While a pass is required for entry, they will waive the fee for Tesla's charging there, provided you haven't been there for more than a couple of hours. The chargers are under roof on the ground floor, too, convenient in case of inclement weather. Just wish they had some signage to get to them ... finding them in short term parking was awkward.

Savannah, GA was opened 1/15/2014. I believe they agree 5 year leases, with a 5 year option for extension, so it could easily stay open until around the beginning of 2014.

However, Tesla is currently paying the airport $600 per month in rent, because it's in an airport parking garage with a parking fee, and it's only a version 2, so I suspect they'll not work too hard to keep it open. It might end up like Normal, IL where it'll fail and they won't bother repairing it because they have an alternative location arranged.

Gas stations, grocery stores and malls seem to be the main targets for new Superchargers.

Wow! This is an exciting day for me. I have followed the Supercharger build out since 2013. I remember when there were 17 superchargers!

And all this time, I saw SO many people being the first to report a Supercharger being online. Well, today is finally MY day!

I am here in Pooler charging right now. All the stalls are lit up. I'll post the pictures after this post.

Pics of Pooler Blue Moon Crossing Supercharger

Note that I'm in my 2014 Model S so the charge rate is not nearly as high as you newer model folks.

I just prefer my "classic" Tesla.
