North Charlotte is booming and has affluent area, thus Tesla customers. Personally, I see the logic for Hickory for I-40 and into the NC mountains, but I would love to see Statesville in order to get to/from Davidson/N. Charlotte from Triad and Triangle without the current 40-mile diversion into I-85 hellish traffic and construction to get to Mallard Creek. At this rate it might get done just about the time my son finishes college

Hickory is coming soon. Hot off the presses.

Don't seem to be any permits issued as of yet.

Can check Catawba County Building Services: PERMIT PARCEL SEARCH REPORT ... Sheetz has parcels 371220802156 and 371220897992. Don't bookmark the page you land on after a search, since it's a cached static version after the search completes.

Hickory is coming soon. Hot off the presses.

I'm going to be driving west from Raleigh to Knoxville on Nov 17,, and the stretch on I-40 between SCs in Burlington and Asheville is a big concern. Looks like Greensboro might be up by then, since it's showing as being a week into construction. Wish Hickory could be there but I'm guessing that's a little too quick.

Burlington to Asheville is easily doable in a P85. I've done it quite a few times in both directions. Just need close to 100% charge to be safe with it, especially westbound since you have to climb Black Mountain.

Yeah I realize that it's doable with a full charge. I just hate the idea of having to spend the extra ~30 min for the regressive charge rate to get from 80% to 100%, especially on a drive that's going to be a bit long already.

Plan Review started 10/12/17. Catawba County has 10 business days to complete their review = 10/25/17 - assuming Tesla submitted all required docs.

Follow the review process here.

I would hope it would be near I-85 and I 485 on the west side of Charlotte, that would cover I-77 (by taking the I-485 loop instead of I-77 as well as help on the west side of Charlotte. Time will tell.

A better place IMHO would be near I-77 and the I-485 loop. The SC on Mallard creek is already near the intersection of I-85 and the I-485 loop

That would probably work equally well, if not better.

Tesla's proposal appears to have been not approved. This is a direct link to the Catawba county records. If that link doesn't work, enter 'tesla' in the search field here.
The location is the Sheetz located here, at 2191 13TH Ave Dr SE, Hickory, NC 28602

Appears to be needing to be resubmitted due to lack of handicap access route between superchargers and building structure. Appears like it would be an easy fix to the plans. Looks like a great site on Google street view/maps.

The sheetz in Hickory already has ev charger listed under it's attributes

 

[wk057]

They did a resubmit it seems.

 

[CorynNC]

Anyone been by to see if they broke ground?

 

[wk057]

It looks like they literally just got their plan review approved today, but haven't actually been issued a permit yet.

I was by there two days ago and nothing new.

 

[CorynNC]

Stopped by today no sgins of construction or any blocking off of areas

 

[wk057]

My guess is that they'll start working on it within the next couple of months. Maybe a January or February opening?
