Sanford’s Spring Lane Galleria will be home to a Tesla Supercharger Station in 2023, according to the company’s website.
North Carolina is currently home to nearly 50 such stations, with several more in the works. The Supercharger stations offer “480-volt direct current fast-charging technology” for electric cars. As of June this year, Tesla has built nearly 4,000 stations worldwide (1,600 in the U.S.) with an average of nine chargers per station.
The stations are built for Tesla vehicles (models S, X, 3 and Y), but non-Tesla vehicles can charge with the use of an adapter. The company has announced plans to include more non-Tesla ports to encourage broader use of electric vehicles. The Biden Administration is aiming for the installation of 500,000 EV chargers in the U.S. by 2030.
The Sanford charging station is planned for the first quarter of 2023, according to the company’s site. The Spring Lane Galleria — anchored by Lowe’s Foods — saw the opening of a new Starbucks in September and has two vacancies for new businesses in that strip.
When would super chargers for non Tesla vehicles be coming in Lee County, Moore County, Harnett County etc.? They are few and far between. I have been driving a non Tesla electric vehicle and it is extremely hard to find super chargers. Possibly you would like to investigate the deal Elon Musk made with our government concerning his Tesla chargers and no sharing with other makes of cars
Oh, Im sure they will jump right on that investigation into Musk like you asked…..lol! Yeah, let’s get right on that one….LOL. Musk is a GENIUS! He made something that no one else has done, and is keeping HIS brand loyalty to his interests….it’s called Capitalism and it is a wonderful thing to see. Explain why he should share his chargers with other makers. They have the same technology he does but just refuse to make them available to the public at convenient places. Take it up with those makers not with the Incredible Mr. Musk. And remember, when you cast your vote, make sure it’s all Republicans. THEY are the ones who truly get things done in this world. THEY make sure everything is fair and equitable for ALL. They do not see color like Democrats, nor do they try to divide the nation. They unite and fulfill their duties according the word of law as it is written …not as it is interpreted! VOTE RED!!!
BAHAHAHAHA. I would respond to your BS comment but I can’t stop laughing!!!!!! I love satire!
You can use a Tesla charger for your non-Tesla granola-mobile with an adapter. Of course you can always use your OWN electricity to charge your virtue signal on wheels. 🙄
As a Tesla owner the only virtues I’m signaling are frugality and support for American free enterprise. Total cost of ownership is better than any car I’ve ever owned. High upfront cost is offset by superior resale value (residual value) and incredibly low operating costs (no gas, no oil change, brake pads last forever). As per “American” – it is the most American-made car in America. Look it up. It is also (according to NHTSA) safer than a Volvo and faster than a Porsche, so what’s not to like there…. As per free enterprise – this is a company that BMW, VW and Mercedes all laughed at until September when the Tesla Model Y was the best selling make and model in Germany (of all cars… not just electric ones) and in all of Europe. I don’t know when the last time (if ever) an American brand was the best selling automobile in Germany.
No. There was no deal made with the government. As the other commenter said this was simple capitalism. Tesla early on realized that in order to sell their cars there needed to be a way to charge on road trips. Since the chargers are paid for and maintained by Tesla it’s not wrong that they are only available to Tesla owners.
If Ford, GM etc were at all serious about selling electric cars and making them usable they would at a minimum install some kind of Supercharger at every dealership. Instead, they’re spending money lobbying the government to build a network of chargers. This will probably be about as efficient as the USPS…..
No satire at all. Just facts pure and simple! And you probably don’t know enough about Capitalism, nor free enterprise to respond to my comment with any thought provoking rhetoric, or an original thought so save yourself the embarrassment and sit quietly in the back while grown ups fix the problems that exist in the world. You and other Dumbocrats are in for the shock of a lifetime next election cycle. The very first thing that will be done is the student loan bs will be revoked as it is unconstitutional and blatant pandering. Your girl Pelosi has already said this, but she still has a hard-on for Trump and once he is found innocent (yes the FEDS did plant evidence, and it has already been proven) he will run, he will win and he will FIX all the dumb ass things that are wrong with this country. I only Hope that his running mate is the great DeSantis of Florida! Now that is a team that can get things done….the things people like you complain about in private, but are too ashamed to admit in public because you buy into the PC bullshit culture!! RED FOR THE WIN!!!
I’ve found that you have to have extra patience with TDS victims .. most were already “special” before they became sky-screamers, but sadly when you combine that with illicit drug use from the age of 5 and a family tree that has no branches, it’s kind of hopeless trying to explain anything to them.
It’s best to slap them around a little with the word TRUMP and send them back to their politically correct biodegradable mud hut…
