A zoning permit was filed last week for a new Supercharger coming soon to West Springfield, VA. The station will be built in the Giant Food parking lot at Cardinal Forest Plaza. Number of stalls remains unknown at the moment.

Woah! Right down the street from me. This is a great location and is across the street from an existing EVgo station. I'll provide regular updates since I pass by this location every day on my way to work.

Grocery stores will make excellent charging sites in areas with large numbers of apartment dwellers who don't have an easy way to charge at home. A grocery store visit is just about the perfect timing to get that weekly "fill up" in your car.
I agree. They also make great road trip stops since they offer snacks and drinks at reasonable prices compared to your typical fast food or convenience store.

Springfield is V2. This is V3. Tesla is rapidly installing V3's near existing V2 locations so this makes total sense.

Wow! This was my grocery store when I lived in West Springfield. Now I'm about 5 miles away but this still might be the most convenient SuC to me.
PS: the Cardinal Forest Shell station is one of the places I trust to do the annual Virginia inspection on a Tesla.

If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on these six spaces along Rolling Road. Six stalls would seem appropriate for the area. Convenient power overhead.
That said, Giant is on the other end of this parking lot. So far, no sign of construction or utility markings.

12 Prefab stalls in back of the mall, near the drive-thru ATMs

Here are pictures of the work area. 12 stalls would go from my car to the spot next to the Toyota RAV 4. No signs of any utility markings at this point.

This is a good location within Cardinal Forest. Easy in/out of the lot, but in an area that typically isn't crowded. And easy to walk to McDonalds, Panera, Whole Foods, and the various offices (including our pediatrician) across Traford Ln.

Nothing seen. There's a dumpster in the back parking now where there wasn't before.
I visited the site today (April 5, 2023). All is quiet. Just the lonely dumpster.
Probably. Especially since a V3 is going in adjacent to the existing V2 at the Springfield Mall.

What kind of charge rates are you seeing with it full? I haven’t charged... just passing through. I’ll try to plug in this weekend and see what I get.

I hope not. It's a great location for people who live, work and shop west of I-95. While there are a lot of single family homes in the area, there are also several townhouse communities where home charging is problematic or impossible.
