Supercharger - Williamsburg, VA

[swengl]

This is just a placeholder to coincide with the "future" SuC in Williamsburg. I'm going to dig around and see if I can find more information. I, for one, am a bit surprised that one was built in Newport News before Williamsburg (due to the amount of tourism in/around Williamsburg). There are only a few highly available level 2 chargers available in Williamsburg, so a Supercharger will be a welcome addition.

If the permit is issued within James City County, it should show up here: CSS I did a search and only found residental HPWC installations, so far.

I used the HPWC near the College Bookstore quite a bit during a recent reunion. A supercharger would be a great addition! Thanks for monitoring.

No updates via the CSS, I'll keep checking periodically and will post something if I see any changes.

Just a bump, I checked the permit site and nothing new yet.

I found a ticket created by Leading Edge Services for construction of a new Supercharger at the Wawa at 842 Merrimac Trail, Williamsburg, VA. It is dated September 4, 2020, but it was originally submitted on August 11.

I'll add this to supercharge.info.

Ah, I missed that. Maybe a moderator can merge the two threads.

@bmah , who can we have merge these two threads?

Done! For future reference, reporting a post in either thread with a note for what to do might be more effective than just tagging a single moderator, that way said person doesn't become a single point of failure.

I wonder why they didn't decide to put it in the new Wawa being built at 6446 Richmond Rd? The Richmond Rd location is closer to the interstate, but I guess the Merrimac Trail site is nestled between CW and Busch Gardens. Either way, I'm glad they are moving forward with a much needed SuC in/near Williamsburg.

It's under construction, WaWa at Merrimac Trail and Penniman Road near Busch Gardens. Taken this morning 19 Oct 2020

The fences have been taken down but otherwise no change since the last update. There is still no Tesla equipment on site, unless maybe some of it is being stored in that container box.

Also, I suspect there will be frequent ICE'ing at this Wawa, as that row of parking spaces was constantly rotating in and out, these spots weren't taken by employees.

I charged there a few hours ago, they're up and running.
I didn't notice the handicap access setup until after I parked and was rushing inside. I would not have parked there otherwise and will certainly be more aware in the future.

Glad to have something close to home. It’s not the nicest Wawa, and not in the nicest area, IIRC a woman was abducted while fueling her car there some time ago. There’s a great restaurant just up the street, Casa Pearl, tacos and oysters, that is worth trying.

Edit: From the pics looks like they are accessible from both sides, is this correct?

makes you wonder how they decide on the specific locations. I’m sure there are nicer locations in Williamsburg.
