Another possible Supercharger found on PlugShare, this one at St. Charles Towne Center in Waldorf, MD. No photos of the installation yet, so no definite way to know if this is a Supercharger yet. Only description is that this is a Supercharger. Did a quick permit search and found nothing. No precise location yet (pin is on the center of the mall). If anyone nearby can check this location out, that would be great! In the meanwhile I’ll call on @Lanny @mociaf9 (in case you find something I didn’t). Will wait before calling Chuq and BlueShift.
Building permits for that location are through Charles County. I checked through their online search portal and didn't see anything that explicitly looked like an EV charging station at the mall. Not anything that was obviously superchargers nor EVCS from another network/provider. But the permit tracking portal they use and the limited amount of information on project names or descriptions/uses that seems to get entered makes it hard to say anything with any assurance. Plus that mall is divided into like 7 or 8 different parcels, which further complicates the search. So, while I didn't find anything, I don't think that really means much. Hopefully someone in the area can give us some more exact information on the specific location within the property's multiple parking lots and some pictures or other info that would confirm the project as superchargers.
I'm home today so I just did a loop around the mall. This is probably nothing, but the only visible digging was by Sears next to the building.
LOL Working all angles on this breaking story. I think the Charles County Permits Chief lives on my street so checking that angle.
While probably not what we are looking for, this would be a good location, and the eVgo stations are closer to the building where they probably sourced the power from.
From my contact at Simon... Thu, Jun 13, 5:25 PM (15 hours ago) Good afternoon! Your email was forwarded to me as George Caraghiaur is no longer with Simon and I now coordinate the EVCS initiative for Simon. We are working diligently to install Tesla Superchargers at many of our centers; unfortunately, it will likely be a few more years before they make their way to St. Charles Town Center. We appreciate your continued interest in EVCSs at Simon centers. For a complete list of centers that currently have EVCSs, please go to https://www.simon.com/electric-vehicle-charging-stations. This list will show you which vendors are installed at each center along with the # of each type of station (Level 2, Level 3, etc). Thanks!

This is going in at the Waldorf, MD Wawa near the Intersection of Route 228 and Western Pkwy close to Route 301.
Good for driving, but if Streetview is up-to-date, there's no crosswalk at the nearby intersection easily to get across the road to the mall, so it's not a good meal-time stop.
I'm new to this so I'm still training myself to get food first and then go to the SC to charge and eat in the car I've already walked across half a dozen super busy roads to get a burger and fries.
It's a little over a mile walking distance to the mall (St. Charles Towne Center). I used to work there a lifetime ago. There is a smaller shopping center across the street, but I agree that it doesn't look like there's a good crosswalk, though that doesn't generally stop people in the area.
im so glad they finally are getting this done. that location is good, and it has been needed for so long. they need to work their way down even further now. but progress is progress.
Stopped by last night, still not lit up, and the cabinets are still covered like they are in above photo from 12/20/20
