Permits have also been issued for the Richmond area's fourth Supercharger, located at a Sheetz station right off the Midlothian Turnpike. Work will be preformed by the HavePower team. So far, I have not seen 811 tickets for either the Richmond or Colonial Heights Superchargers so construction has not begun yet.

I think it makes more sense to add a Supercharger at Wawa located just off 288 on Rt. 60 by Westchester Commons. This Sheetz location seems odd to me.

Utility markings are there, but no digging or hardware on site yet.
This is a strange choice for a Supercharger site. I was really expecting the next Richmond location to be somewhere on the west side, along 288 at Short Pump, Westchester Commons, or Brandermill.

So... which Sheetz location is this? Probably the one by "Manchester" in this screen shot? 20 S Providence Rd, Richmond, VA 23236
I stopped by at lunch and noticed that a small tree on the corner by these parking spots has been cut down in the last couple days, so we should see digging soon.

I find it strange too. If they are going to build them, I would expect them to at least initially be placed strategically along interstates and close to the exit ramps, then start filling in the gaps around town. The Glen Allen supercharger site seems bizarre to me as well. Having to exit 95 to get onto 295 to get to the exit for the Supercharger is not exactly convenient for those driving up and down I-95. I'm also suprised that there isn't a Supercharger in Short Pump. The Wawa there on Broad St next to I-64 seems like a prime location for one. There is even some vacant land next to to build it on.

The Glen Allen supercharger was one of the first ones opened in the country in 2013 so likely was more of a take what you can get scenario at the time.

The stalls will be going in the parking spaces furthest from S Providence Road, and there won't be a pull-in stall. Placing them further back like this will hopefully help prevent ICEing.

I went by a couple days ago. The only change I saw was a new fence they'd built around the cabinets.
