Are they opening a new Supercharger near Wildwood?

If I was giving that Supercharger a name, I would call it the Okahumpka Supercharger. More people would know where that is than calling it the Wildwood Supercharger, even though that is technically correct.

This is going to be great. Another one at the rest area. It should help with Turkey Lake as well. Loving all of these choices. Once Naples and Venice open, the I-75 route to South Florida is going to be pretty well covered.

The Turkey Lake charger is the absolute worst. I've been getting off the highway and charging at the Wawa on Highway 50 when I drive from Miami to Gainesville. This will be a MUCH welcomed location. I hope it's free like the rest of the supercharger stations on the Turnpike.

Agree. Service Plazas should use the name given by the Turnpike Authority.

Issued.

Anyone know when this is supposed to start construction?

Wow! This permit was applied for in July if 2020? When do you think it will be ready to use?

This one might finally be under construction. I was driving northbound today and saw what looked like a green fence around two cabinets on the north end of the plaza. Anyone stop here recently to confirm?

Just charged here today. 8 stalls. I can say with certainty that 2 B works.

That's great news! I will be headed that way on 15OCT21 and will try out the "Wildwood" service area chargers. Was the charge free?

I used the Turkey Lake chargers in May of this year and both times was perfect. Plenty of spots available and FREE!
