Oh, and look at that! Pooler, GA is open! (Savannah area along I-95). That makes GA the 7th state with more than 1 RAN station (not in timeline order: CA, OR, CO, VA, MI, AZ)! NC is likely to be #8, but WA, MD and TX are in the running
NC already has Blowing Rock, so it just needs any one of Cherokee, Charlotte, or Henderson, and I think all 3 have the pedestals on site now.TX I think should have first up and running soon, hopefully the other up soon there after (too far for me to drive check for the hell of it)
We enjoy the BRP as well and drove much of it last year. Turned out the NC part is the most scenic and has the best pull-offs.Cherokee/Whittier, NC update:
Looks like there's some recent movement. Person who took the photo assumed it was going to be Tesla superchargers, but the site is clearly set up like a RAN site rather than a Tesla one.
VERY exciting news, since I got my R1S last Friday and my wife and I love to visit GSMNP and the BRP. Now I just hope this one gets turned on faster than some of the others.
Henderson had pedestals installed on 5/22. I have no idea what the hold up is but it’s been a month.NC already has Blowing Rock, so it just needs any one of Cherokee, Charlotte, or Henderson, and I think all 3 have the pedestals on site now.
Think it’s waiting on local utility company at this pointHenderson had pedestals installed on 5/22. I have no idea what the hold up is but it’s been a month.
I didn't stop Monday but did today on the way back. Sure looks close to being live to me. I don't recall any pictures prior to this one today, but the equipment is all there waiting to be unwrapped. Front Royal, VA is now on watch. It's a pretty nice location too with lots of food choices.Last I heard there wasn’t much progress but that was mid spring. Did you stop by on Monday to see if they were any closer?
Dang 35! I have only been to 15 of them I guess I need to step up my road trip game.Saginaw is online! That's 35 sites. They've got a few more that are really close -- possibly just waiting for the utility to flip the switch -- I wonder if 40 is possible by Friday?
