Supercharger - Port St. Lucie, FL - Fort Pierce Service Plaza

[MarcoRP]

Found a bit of an oddball permit on Osceola county’s permit search database: an entry for Tesla @ Ft. Pierce Service Plaza. I could only assume that this would be for the Supercharger, but so many things strike me as odd;
1- the address (no idea what the heck it is supposed to point to)
2- there is no further description than what’s in the photo
3- though the permit was filed with Osceola County, Fort Pierce isn’t even in the county!

It’s definitely not early enough for any blue dot but I’ll be keeping an eye out to see if anything comes of it.

Moderators Note:

I believe that this may be a location for a future Supercharger Station, but the permit information is so contradictory that I have placed a question mark on the thread title to signify that this is still speculative at this time.

I continue to look for a permit application for the Port Saint Lucie – Fort Pierce Service Plaza, but so far, I haven't been able to locate one.

The address seems to be the midpoint of the Turnpike, so ignore it. It would just be Ft Pierce Service Plaza, in Port St Lucie, FL.

Probably one of the superchargers going in or expanding at Turnpike service plazas.

Looks like Canoe Creek service plaza.

Thanks again Marco for your eagle-eye.

Yes, this is a very weird designation. The Port St. Lucie - Fort Pierce Service Plaza is at milepost 145. The Canoe Creek Service Plaza is at milepost 230. There are no Service Plazas located at milepost 199 in Kenansville.

If I were Tesla and I wanted to locate a Supercharger near Fort Pierce, before I put one at the plaza, I'd pick a spot near the intersection of the Turnpike and I-95. Maybe the Wawa at 5575 Okeechobee Rd, Fort Pierce, FL 34947?

Osceola can’t issue a permit in another counnty, so I double checked and it is good news: 16 v3 SuC at Canoe Creek Service Plaza!

Great. Can you create a thread for that?

Yes

The Port St. Lucie - Fort Pierce Service Plaza is located in Port St. Lucie.

Below is a screenshot of the City of Port St. Lucie's Property Search. You will note that it brings up the service center location. 144 MM FL TPK. Mile marker 144 Florida Turnpike.

When you click on the Property key to view all permits , you get the following, which show no permits outstanding:

You know that a Supercharger opened at this Wawa on Okeechobee Rd in Fort Pierce this past week. Came onto TMC to see if there was any mention of it

Hi Marrus,

Yes, it's mentioned here:
Ft. Pierce, FL Supercharger (wawa)

There is a supercharger being built at the service plaza, happened to catch a glimpse of rack electric set up right next to FPL ev chargers. Pretty sure it’s going to be an 8 stall.

 

[Johnj2803]

Sweet. Miami to Orlando another option. It's always fort drum.

 

[LakeWorthB]

Yeah I saw that pin on the new updated tesla map, but interestingly didn't see it on the supercharge.info site. Anybody else have any info? V3?

 

[corywright]

@Aye_itscarmen Is there any chance you'll be able to take some status pictures of the construction?

 

[BBryson]

These chargers will ruin my excuse to let me eat at Moe's at the existing chargers.

I drove by yesterday (without slowing down) but didn't see anything from the TP. If this is near the FPL chargers, it will be on the south side of the rest stop, at the "back" of the plaza.

Yes it’s near the back, you can see the blue rack electric fencing surrounding superchargers by fpl chargers.

Anyone scout this one out yet?
