Supercharger - Roanoke, VA

[Tdreamer]

A supercharger is being built at a new Sheetz convenience store with an address of 3353 Orange Ave NE, Roanoke, VA 24012. From permit information, the Sheetz is nearing completion. I do not believe the superchargers have begun construction yet.

Surprised that they chose this location. Three miles from I-581; not on a route that many travelers would use. Nice to be at a new Sheetz but close to Valley View Mall or Tanglewood Mall would have been more convenient.

Any updates on this bad boy?

A dig ticket has been created, the construction of the Superchargers may begin soon.

 

[GBMaryland]

Sweet.

I’m looking up charging options for my stay in April.

Seems there are a few high power DC options… Evgo, etc.

 

[G0dfath3r71]

Looks like it is coming soon!

 

[SMLBound]

Looks like it’s done just waiting for someone to flip the switch! C’mon, let’s do it!

I’ll be there this October 2023. Looks like it should be done before that. Thanks for the picture.

 

[SMLBound]

No apparent change in status. Looks totally complete, all construction seems to be finished but not lit up

Meter is up. No power to the stalls yet. Keep a close eye on this one. It may pop up on the map soon.

Thanks for the update. We’re getting close

Wow, they sure are taking their time…

Wow, they sure are taking their time…

Has to be waiting on final inspection or something. Come on Roanoke County, get your act together!

Drove past on Sunday; looks like a great spot, even if it isn’t along 81.

Roanoke, VA is on the map. @corywright @Tdreamer @tes-s @Big Earl

This SC location might seem strange, but its “secret sauce” is serving Blue Ridge Parkway traffic. Whenever I have time while transiting the area, I drive the BRP, weather permitting.

The recent addition of Blowing Rock SC and now this one allows BRP drivers to use SCs with only very short diversions.

Regen and one pedal driving make road conditions typical of BRP so much more enjoyable.

 

[Waterleo]

I’m pleased that both Sylva and, in particular Cherokee future SC sites won by popular vote. That covers the SW end of the BRP making the entire 469 mile span easily driveable with minimal diversions.

During optimum conditions I manage 165 -180 Wh per mile during long BRP runs, contributing to my M3’s lifetime average of 200 Wh /mi.

Charging here now…

Noticed in your tag you're up to 237k miles which I think is great, these car are road trippers. I have a 2023 S just returned from a trip to Maine and so far have 6k with plans to drive the wheels off it. Curious how your 70D has held up and how are batteries are doing.
