Thanks for the heads up, I've added it.
I wasn't quite able to determine from the photograph where in the parking lot this is located. Please let me know if the GPS coordinates need adjusting.
That location looks pretty much on the nose. It is straight across the parking lot from the target entrance by the entry roadway.
Looks like Montgomery is getting some love. There's a relatively new one south of Montgomery and the "old" one on the east side. Now this one, on the north side. Now if only Mobile would get some love.

C'mon baby. Show me some Magic Docks! Need them at this site badly. There's not other high power CCS chargers between Greenville and Alabaster.

Do you know for sure these are what the V4 internals look like or is it the V4 exterior with the V3 internals?? I HOPE it's V4 to gear up for the CybertruckHere are some pictures I took when driving by todayWe have 12 V4 stalls! And as a bonus, most of these have their internals exposed. Transformer already installed!
There is no debate - those are v4 charging posts for sure. What everyone is waiting to see or hear from Tesla is what kind of power output the existing v3 supercharger cabinets deliver through these new posts. I think the working assumption is the v4 posts will likely initially be throttled at 250kW, delivering the same power as v3 posts but with the capability of including MagicDock CCS capability, and a longer charging cable from a position in the center of the parking spot that will hopefully be more friendly to other EV's to charge.

The pictures above show most of the chargers are not in the center of the parking spots (could be a site design limitation). However, with the longer cable one should be able to charge from any port location. The issue I see here is non-Tesla EV's with a front left charging port (e.g. F150) pulling straight in and using the wrong charger.
They can fix this with signs above the cabinet like in Auburn. "Please use other side."
This is right close to me. Have not been on the forums in some time and I saw this on X. Can't wait to have these ones close by in case needed. Wish we could get some in Clanton for the trip up to Birmingham, but these are in a great location with plenty of food and right close to the Interstate. I will have to drive by and take some more pictures soon.
We live in Covington County and this will be such a great option for our trips to north Alabama
You could at least have risked life and limb and stood in the road to get pictures of the charging stall plugs!Here are some pictures I took when driving by today
Tchoh! Some people....
Alabama Power was here doing their part according to the rep. Sounds like it’ll be online any day now.
Great dudes to chat with!
You are of course right, and thank you for the correction. I'm comment a lot more frequently on sites in the Northeast that without exception are installed behind the curb for winter snow removal reasons. Those, and many similar installs in other parts of the country have started being installed closer to parking spot center over the past year with the universal bases presumably with possible future v3 --> v4 post upgrades in mind.
And yes, even with the v4 posts there is no perfect solution for all EV's and where they currently have their charging ports. I don't think any manufacturers going to NACS have gone into details yet, but hopefully all will relocate their charging ports to left-rear or front right corners in the updated models....
