Supercharger - Upper Sandusky, OH

[Crew Dragon]

A new, 12-stall, Supercharger is permitted and under construction at 1745 E Wyandot Ave, Upper Sandusky, OH 43351. This is behind an Arby's restaurant.
It was on the list of future sites that got leaked by Tesla last year. I drove by the site months ago, but never saw anything. They don't do on-line permitting, so no easy way to look.
A few days ago, I checked with the local zoning inspector for the city and he confirmed, via email, that not only are the permits approved, it is under active construction!
This is a great location for the route between Toledo and Columbus.

Hello Matt,

Yes, we actually processed the permit for a 12 charger station many months ago, and it is currently under construction. It's located in the rear of the Arby's restaurant just off of OH-23 in Upper Sandusky.

Thank you,

Greg Moon

Great find and long overdue. That area of north central Ohio away from the Lake has been needing this for a while.

With confirmation from the Zoning Inspector that construction is going on, can this get a pin on the supercharge.info map? A yellow triangle pin?

Supercharge.info admins prefer photos or copies/links for permits. Maybe someone can stop by and get a photo of the construction.

I was able to get a copy of the permit and site drawings: 12 stalls, two light poles, transformer, etc. A clip of one of the pages of the permit is below.
I did a road trip today and got a shot of the construction. It was not like the other SCs that I've seen under construction at all, but it does match the drawings. Normally, I've seen where all the cabinets are together and a big dig for all the individual stalls. In this installation, the cabinets will be with their individual stalls. The drawings call for Preassemble Supercharging Units (PSUs) to be used.
Reasonable amenities (Arby's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Speedway) and only 1/2-mile from the highway.

Under Construction.

EDIT: Also @Dublin 'Eer, looks like they're not neglecting US-30 after all.

Yay! A badly needed Historic Lincoln Highway (more or less US 30 in Ohio these days) supercharger!

A few months ago I saw one of those prefab 4 station chargers on a flatbed headed west on I-90. They make a lot of sense.

The Philadelphia PA Urban Supercharger is fairly close to US-30 (couple of miles) and would be a closer choice than North Huntingdon. Shortens the distance to ~200 miles.

As of last night when were by there 3 prefab sets are in place, 12 total stalls. Looks like power + paving, and other site work needed still. Will post pictures when I get a chance that my wife took.

We saw the station and it looks finished except for the lights being on. But we didn’t get a close up look unfortunately. Hopefully they get approval to turn it on soon cause this station is close to family and will make visiting them much easier. I will be going through again next weekend so we will try and get some pictures.

This is now showing live in the car and in the Tesla supercharger Find US page. Anybody had time to swing by and check it out?

Great news! Some SC construction seems to drag on and on, but this one just went so fast! Just a couple of months.

 

[Triangles]

I used it last night and briefly saw 253 kW. I've been hoping they would put one in here for years.

@Chuq @Big Earl @corywright this site doesn't appear to be on supercharge.info yet

 

[corywright]

this site doesn't appear to be on supercharge.info yet

It was added on July 11, and marked open on August 23. Is it not appearing on the map for you?

 

[corywright]

Is it not appearing on the map for you?

I realized after posting this that it might sound snarky, but I didn't intend it that way. I'm just curious if it isn't appearing for some people, in case there is a bug somewhere in our UI.
