Don't get this.. there is one 6 miles to the south and another one 8 miles to the north on the same I 45, and another one to the north just maybe 2000 feet away (both under construction) on the same side of I 45.

I think its the quantity of Tesla traversing from Dallas to Houston. Memorial day was apparently a mess at the service center. I'm guessing future holidays are only going to get worse.

Tesla probably wanted to add 16+ stalls along I-45 and ended up with more interested partners than they expected. The first Shenandoah site looks like it has room for more stalls, so it may have been reduced in scope to add one of the other sites (and as a bonus, leave room for expansion later).

Wow. Start date 8/22, completion date 9/22. Must be prefab V3.

If you can follow up with the permit authority on this one, I'm curious where on the property they're going to install these.

Note that Exxon Mobile's headquarters is about 6 miles away . But the real reason is probably because the I-45 service center is always backed up.

I can never count on the service center superchargers to be available. The new chargers will certainly be welcome and needed!!!

Based on the utility locator flags it appears that the chargers would be behind or on the side of the building which is north west and northeast respectively…

I don't think I've ever charged there without having to wait in line. Having more alternatives will be a great help.

Same here. Visiting the in-laws in Spring and I've always had to wait at this location. Having all these new superchargers in the area will be a lot more convenient.

Two “4-banger” prefabs are in place.

Utility power pole with 3-167’s hanging on it installed…contractor with now need to run the conduit up the pole and then utility company will make it hot.

No meter

Wow, I haven't looked at upcoming local chargers in like a month or so... Houston (especially North Houston) is really feeling the love

Anybody ever used to charge at the EVgo unit just over from here at Cypresswood & 45 at the Walgreens, or am I the only recovering Leaf owner? Good times .... ?

 

[STDRDC13]

She’s live and I’m charging.

If you don’t get it you’ve obviously never tried charging at the service center.

 

[Electroman]

Oh I have charged there and I know how congested place is.

But 4 on the same freeway all within 10 miles?
