Superchargers in VA

[Xenoilphobe]

I might have to take you up on that - got my tracking number today (but the tracking # isn't trackable - which means Fedex didn't pick it up yet) - but it will arrive too late.

BTW my car was delivered the same day as yours!

Thats nice! I got mine in the morning. I don't think there was anybody else picking up a car around that time. I'll PM you my contact info if you are interested in borrowing the adapter.

Looks like Greenlots just installed a level 3 50KW CHADEMO charger in Staunton Virginia at 32 South New Street. The cost is $12 hourly

My thoughts on VA Superchargers .....

Nice. Wishful thinking I would guess, but nice!!

I expect Virginia will look like that in about 2-3 years.

I hope so too... and tend to agree that it probably will.

One in Williamsburg would be outstanding

I can't wait until they get I-81 to look like that...I would much rather take that route to the Northeast over I-95...

I can see them adding 4-5 along I-81, a couple along I-64, but don't see them adding too many more. Jonathan, heard anything about Greenville, SC? The trip from Charlotte to Atlanta is a stretch. Will be so much easier once we can stop in Greenville for a thirty minute charge.

I think they'll have to. With Model X and Model 3 coming out, it won't be about "is this area covered", it'll be about keeping up with the pure volume of cars. They can't have lines at Supercharger stations that get longer and longer.

And having ubiquitous Supercharger stations is what will give Tesla the real competetive advantage in the EV space.

Good news, folks. I stopped by the Strasburg site today and it is definitely now under construction in the rear of the Denny's parking lot. Construction crew had dug a trench for the electrical wiring and we're building what I guess is a pad for the electrical box to sit on. They verified to me that this was indeed for Tesla. Hopefully this SC will be operational by the end of the summer. Less than a mile from I-81, exit 298.

Great news! Thanks for the report. Any photos by any chance?

Not much to see, but glad that they are already working on it. In the Denny's parking lot behind the restaurant.

With Knoxville up and running on the other end, maybe this will start the I-81 build out!

That would be fantastic, let's see what happens. I hope they do a "half-back" approach: Split the difference on the distance between the 2 and put the next SC there (hopefully around Charlottesville or Lexington, VA)

With Knoxville up and running on the other end, maybe this will start the I-81 build out!

Stopped by the Strasburg VA supercharger location yesterday to check it out. Progress, but still a ways to go.

Looks like they are all going to be angled pull-in spots?
