The Southern Supercharger "Arc of Doom"

[purplewalt]

Similar to heading East from St. Louis to ATL, I will be heading over to Philly thru Atlanta via Houston this coming week.

About 5 Superchargers on I-20 headed EAST toward Atlanta (most "near future" direct route) would probably save me about 7 hours or travel time and a whole lot of miles.
But I will have Superchargers to use, except @ Greenville.
Maybe I can make it from ATL to Charlotte without a bit of supplemental charge @ Greenville....

If at WV VA border on I-77, take Rte 460 to Blacksburg, VA, where you will find Chademo municipal charging.
Talk about a progressive little town!

It only adds 50 miles to the OH to Myrtle Beach trip, and next you have Charlotte supercharger, then
another Chademo in Myrtle at the very Tesla friendly Grand Strand Nissan.

The arc of doom has lost land to the Greenville, SC Supercharger and Asheville, NC is at least about 50% done. It's shrinking thank heavens!

Yes! Now it is two smaller "blobs of inconvenience"

Upper Blob to be fixed by Wytheville, VA and other I-81 SCs
Lower Blob to be fixed by Augusta, GA and Statesboro, GA

Clearly Greenville, SC and Asheville, NC are huge positive steps here.

Come on Augusta and Roanoke!

6 months since the initial post and now Greenville, South Carolina / Asheville, NC / Lexington, VA are all live as of yesterday. The Arc of Doom is NO more! (although Wytheville, VA completion, and Augusta, GA, Johnson City/Bristol TN and Beckley, VA would be Awesome)

I live in that arc and would love to see it filled in. I also noticed Tesla is hiring Supercharger Manager for the south east. I put in an application as such a job could be fun and interesting. I could finish out that build out.

Looks like quite the turnout! Sorry I couldn't be there. I headed South today and am in North Florida at the moment. Glad those electrons are flowing!
