Supercharger - Savannah, GA

It’s pretty, alright?

If you live in Metro Atlanta, it provides the nearest beach access , though the actual beach is 20 miles east of the city of Savannah.

Tybee Island, briefly known as “Savannah Beach” for a couple of decades...

Went through last week and met a new owner on his first road trip. Was pleased to explain the need to avoid plugging into the B charger when A is occupied. I like this location with the covered charger, covered walk into the airport for restroom and food (although limited options).

Unless it's a holiday weekend. Then that Supercharger can ruin your day.

An underappreciated aspect is that everything is undercover: The chargers and the walk to the terminal building.

A good thing today, with a steady rain.

Hi everyone,

I'm in the middle of some emergency travel and will likely pass through Savannah tomorrow. Is there any indication the supercharger won't be accessible? There don't seem to be many alternatives along the 95 corridor, and I'd rather not get stranded...

I'm ok even if the airport facilities are closed. I just need to be able to get to the supercharger.

Validating parking also isn't an issue. I'm fine with paying the parking fee (by credit card?) if there's no one around to give me the free stamp.

Thanks a million for any info.

Also keep in mind that Electrify America is on the opposite side of I-95 at Walmart. Not cheap, but I know that Savannah is intermittent. There's also a movie theater west of 95 with destination chargers in back, and free ChargePoint at the outlet mall.

Good to know! Thanks for sharing that! I have a chademo with me too, which may help at EA.

Thanks again.

I tried using that location with a chademo adapter and the most it would do was 33 kw and that was having to call them to get it to actually turn on. It was actually faster to drive out to Metter, GA and use the V3 Supercharger than to wait for the EA on to slowly work.

Charged at SAV yesterday. Charging was outstanding. 120kW at peak.

 

[BQst]

Yup, charged and even took a nap at the airport last week. Worked great!

Charged today...big fail.

2 of pedestals delivering less than 40kW (no one in the other paired units).

Out of context, this doesn't provide any information. If you had a high SOC, this could be a normal charge rate.

I have used this location many times and it has always been spotty...

Ok smart arse.

I’ve owned vehicles for 4+ years and was on a long distance travel (which I do 5-6x a year). I had 11% upon arrival. Make you feel better?

My experience is similar to X Fan, the 2 chargers closest to the entrance have been consistently poor. The 2 V2 units that are furthest away from the entrance are the newest and I was able to max out close to 150kW arriving with less than 10% SOC. Since the Metter V3 site is up and running I avoid SAV but this is not an option for those not using I-16.

I've had the same experience at the Savannah airport, but my point still stands (even if I'm being called a smart ass ).

supercharge.info just posted a new 8 station V3 Supercharger location at Hardeeville. SC at junction of I-95 and US-17.

Didn't see that coming, but it greatly reduces the load on the V2 chargers at Savannah airport
