Supercharger - Robertsdale, AL

[Dirtman16]

According to a local involved in the Tesla Owners Club of Alabama on Facebook, the Supercharger to be installed at the existing Buc-ee's in Robertsdale is on the Planning Commission agenda for today (1/24/22). The location is here.

Fingers crossed as this would be a big help to Tesla Baldwin County and beach traffic.

This is on I-10 between Mobile AL and Pensacola FL. Here is the address in plaintext:

I-10

Robertsdale, AL

Host Type: Gas Station
Host: Buc-ee’s
Along Primary Interstates: I-10
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): None
Along Auxiliary Interstates: None

I-10

From: Mobile, AL - 34.2 miles
To: Crestview, FL - 74 miles
Diversion: 0.8 miles
From: D’Iberville, MS - 81.2 miles
To: DeFuniak Springs, FL - 104.1 miles

Splitter! On I-10.
That's the 87th largest remaining gap on the Interstates*, and will help avoid the inconvenient diversion to v2 Mobile, AL.

* By my rules

I'm happy to see the Buc-ee's installations moving along. Why they waited so long to start them is a real head scratcher. I can't think of a better road stop than Buc-ee's for a 30 minute break. Food, restrooms, shopping, open 24 hours, clean. About time.

For those of you in Baldwin County or traveling that way, I noticed on plugshare that a local utility in Foley has added a chademo compatible charger. It might be a good stop gap until this supercharger opens, assuming you have the adapter.

This hopefully will take a lot of pressure of the V2 Supercharger on the West side of Mobile, as well as help the beach-bound traffic along the shore.

Nice! I travel to Foley often, and this has always been a bad spot. Either I spend a long time topping off to 100% at the slower charger in Greenville, or I just charge enough to get to Foley and then I have to find somewhere to plug in there. The super folks at Benson Appliance, on the main drag in Foley, have a free destination charger. But I always feel obligated to charge off-hours so I don't hog the space for their customers.

The Buc-ee's is insanely crowded on holiday weekends in the summer.

That charger is absolutely terrible.

Always seems to have multiple broken chargers and its in a dead mall parking lot. Way, way too far off of I-10 as well.

Is there anybody close enough to take pictures of the progress? I understand the Buc-ee's is relatively new. There sure appears to be plenty of space for 12 charging stalls and possibly more if usage time warrants it.

There are hundreds of parking spots, not counting the pumps. Plenty of room, although it is quite busy on holiday weekends.

I stopped there this morning. No sign of any pending construction. It's Q2, so it may be a while.

 

[BrownOuttaSpec]

I went here yesterday, unfortuantly there were no signs of construction starting but this is going to be an awesome spot for a new location.

 

[TexasDuke]

No signs of construction as of yesterday.

 

[Erichj]

Fence is up at the Southeast corner of the property. Some digging started with conduit & wire on site. No Tesla equipment yet.

 

[Erichj]

Prefab chargers installed. Slab poured for transformer. 12 chargers along the South end and 4 more on the East side. 16 total!

That is amazing!

Wow, these might actually be available for my Cinco de Mayo trip to Gulf Shores! I’ll take pics either way.

 

[scottwith1t]

these chargers will be great -- no more sitting for 30 min at Crestview or D'iberville for that long segment. I wonder if this charger to New Orleans will be a realistic leg...

I'm heading to Orange Beach in early June. If you do not mind me asking, what route(s) do you take to/from Tulsa to that area?
