I wonder what percentage of Nissan dealerships have fast Chademo chargers.... Might be worth investing in the adaptor...

A lot of them do, and there are numerous non-dealership CHAdeMO stations as well. The adapter is the best $450 I've spent on my car.

Is anyone driving by this SC on a regular basis? Spy photos are always welcome. I'm planning a trip to Strasburg in September and I'm hoping this one will be online.
I find it challenging to reliably make a few of the hops in my car, particularly Charlotte to Atlanta without Chademo. L2 charging is just not an option in my opinion, and I'm not paying Blink $85 to charge my car for half a day at 30A. Just saying...

I will travel to Atlanta in September and plan to charge at the dentist's office in Greenville (HPWC) for 45 min or so. That extra ~45 miles will make the Charlotte to Atlanta leg much easier. See the Greenville SC thread for details.

Awesome CMU5P! I just gave you a Rep point for that pic! Looks like this charger is going to be a pull in style....

Here are a few more that I just got from a family member that lives just down the street. I'll try to keep them posted on here when I get them.

I couldn't figure out how to upload multiple pics from iPhone, but here are the rest from today. Looks like 6 or so angled pull-in's. The views are terrific, but the parking lot behind the Denny's seems small. I foresee some congestion happening being near the crux of 81/66. But, hey, no complaints here.

Do any of you who live in northern VA have much experience with the SC at Montgomery Mall? Seems ridiculous to have two stalls. I was at Woodbrdge today and only saw one other Model S charging.
Bethesda was installed as a temporary facility to bridge an early gap in the SC network but Tesla has left it active. Because of it's original classification as temporary it's only two stalls. I think the question is whether they should take it out since some folks may rely on it when there's a high likelihood of it being occupied during the day, particularly by locals, or if it should serve a purpose as an emergency location. I view it as the latter and am happy that Tesla has kept it active.
Ditto on the comments regarding it really being a temporary location, and it shouldn't really be relied upon as a high-availability site.
That having been said, it's a few minutes form where I work, and on my way home, so I've used it on occasion when I needed some additional range for some last minutes travel.
Having it there is better than not, IMO.

I have family in the DC area and it would be nice to have a SC close by for "destination charging". Strasburg gets me to the DC area with ~150-180 miles range left.
