Supercharger - Sanford, FL

[irish26]

In the latest Tesla supercharger map update they show one coming to Sanford in Q3. A little permit digging shows it’s likely to be at the Wawa on 46, near I-4.

However the initial permit application was filed in 2019 and the status is currently On Hold.

Good find. Since you can't link directly to the eRecord, the application # for anyone interested in seeing the details is 19-7764. In Structure Details, it's explicitly listed as being for a V3 supercharger station. And there was an earlier, voided application at the same location that listed Tesla as the property tenant (# 19-7267). By the way, the permits were actually issued already in April 2020. So, I imagine the hold is due to scheduling or something not directly required for a building permit (e.g. getting an easement or access to a Right-of-Way).

Address: 4660 FL-46, Sanford, FL 32771

Thanks @mociaf9! I frequently drive by this location so I will start keeping an eye on construction and update accordingly.

@MarcoRP @Chuq Even though the permit is old, given the site location next to I-4 and the existing relationship with WaWa... I think it's more likely than not that this will be the Sanford location. I think we should be ok to add a blue pin now...
I used to live basically right down the street, and this is the most logical place for the superchager.
In the unlikely event they go somewhere else, we can always just remove it.

I drive by the potential Wawa location everyday. Nothing is going on there.

 

[MarcoRP]

Hey look at that, it wasn’t at the Wawa after all!!

That's location is close to the existing EVGo charger (single station) - which actually has a Tesla connector for 50 kW charging (at .35 per MINUTE - yikes).

That entire area is full of car dealers and that's is directly next to a large strip mall.

Target parking lot, which seems to be the new go-to instead of Wawa.

No activity as yet. :-(

Digging has started and the highlighted area is fenced off next to the Pollo Tropical. 3 large Tesla Energy branded boxes are onsite. I'll keep checking on it on my weekly Target runs!

@YellyYeti Do you have any updated photos?

I'll grab some this weekend, the pedestals were up when I was there today but there we a lot of workers so I didn't want to snap a pic.

FSD Beta drove me to Target with one disengament (right turn lane was backed up and it was about to pull a very socially unacceptable move), to take these pictures

And here is a bonus picture from the Sanford river/lake front which is still flooded from Hurrican Ian.

Wow you guys are great detectives thanks! We moved to Sanford like 7 months ago and charging has been such a pain, evgo is the worst and our apartment complex charger is always down. Can’t wait for this to be finished

I went for a walk by the lake the other day, thinking the flooding was cleared, boy was I wrong

Welcome to Sanford! It would be tough not to have at home charging, but yes the Target one should work well for you then. A quick charge up during a shopping trip.

I was reading that the flooding might stick around until Thanksgiving! Crazy stuff.

Major construction seems to be done, cabinets and stalls are all in place. Is there a way to find out final inspection status, etc.?
