Supercharger - Knoxville, TN. Brookview Center

[JPWhite]

Construction is already underway near the Courtyard Marriott Hotel at Brookview Center at Knoxville for a new eight stall V3 supercharger. Photos are included below. Access is off I-40/I-75 at Papermill Road.

Location according to Google Maps is 35.935400358202294, -84.00405747364178

@corywright can you add this new location to supercharge.info and link this as a discussion pls?

Courtyard Marriott can be seen behind the SuC location.

Really expected a 12 charger setup given the congestion at the other location. This is still fantastic news and should get Knoxville at least above water for a while again.

@Chuq @corywright @MarcoRP @tes-s These coordinates do not match the photos. The correct coordinates seem to be 35.935852, -84.004146.

Really glad to see this - congestion at existing location is pretty constant - waits are pretty frequent from what I have seen. So even though it is only an 8 stall - at least with this being a 250kw there won't be a sharing issue so should be able to move folks through here a good bit quicker than the existing site.

Any idea on when it will be up and running?

 

[Big Earl]

Probably two weeks.

Really glad to see this one going in. Between this new one and the Pigeon Forge one, that should help a good deal with the load on the existing Knoxville supercharger, thats always full.

Was at the existing Supercharger yesterday (8/8/21). 15+ Tesla’s there charging or waiting to charge. 2 stalls were down. Waited 1 hour, and I was 3 in line. I met 2 Model Xs and Model 3 were traveling from California. Said Knoxville was the first time during their trip across the country where they had to wait. Hope this new location is online soon.

I was curious so I drove past this new supercharger this afternoon. The fencing is still up but there were workers present. As I drove past the workers looked up and gave me a little nod. I didn’t bother them. I’ll drive back by next week and see if it’s turned on yet.

How far is this from the current S?
I come down 75 and turn on to i40 heading for Asheville. it's quite a bit of a drive to the current SC and the gap between London and ASheville is quite long
I would have liked to see the second Knoxville SC on the Northside or on the eastside........

This new SC is 101 miles from the London, KY SC per Google Maps. It is still on the westside of the city but slightly more east then the current one. Please see location for reference below as well.

It’s 10 miles between the Knoxville superchargers so it will save you some time, miles and few minutes charging as well.

Thanks for the replies. It takes me about 20 mins when I leave i75 to reach the current supercharger. I had been using an EA with chademo at either Williamsburg KY or on I40 east of Knoxville.
Now I'll have to decide if the convience reliability faster speed and lower cost of the new SC is worth the extra 20 mins a round trip would take.

I have a similar issue with I26 and have rarely found a 20 minute detour to be worth it vs a non-detour to an EA with CHAdeMO. It gets really close to being worth it if I need to add more than 20%, though.

Yes. Same issue driving to Charleston. A SC on the northside of Charleston would be nice.

Anybody been by this location lately? I have to travel through there in a couple of weeks (over a weekend which is not good) and as everyone on this thread knows, the current Knoxville location is not up to the volume

Drove by today. The chain-link fence is still there but after the electrical wire spools are removed I think the fence could go as well. A landscaping company is here and and the site just needs a drain connected. The two larger electrical cabinets are still covered. The disconnect cabinet has a padlock on it. Assuming they can get it inspected maybe next week it’ll be ready?
