I am in Nags Head NC this week and noticed some construction in the same shopping center parking lot where the new Tesla SC is. I took some pictures and then called the number of the company doing the initial work (or maybe all of it - IDK).

It turns out it is the new RAN station that is shown as a future location on the Adventure Network map.

This is a perfect location for those staying in the area, or heading farther south. If not for Tesla, and this new RAN location, the OBX is a charging desert. I wonder if Rivian will open this one up to other brands?

Thats great. Headed there from VT this summer. Did the trip last year and came back in one shot on the way home with two RAN stops and a supercharger stop so this will hopefully allow me to do it all on RAN alone.

Fabulous news! We rent a beach house in Kitty Hawk in the Fall, and I was planning on hitting the Rivian Wayfarer units just a mile or so down the road in Kill Devil Hills for some Level 2 fill ups a few times between the Level 1 we will do at the beach house. Having a RAN nearby will be AWESOME!

My vacation plans are now so much less concerned with where I will be "filling up" my R1T.

There was a R1T charging at the Tesla SC in the same parking lot today. He was the only vehicle charging. It won't be that way in the summer, though. So having the RAN will really help.

This is such good news! My wife hates going to Avon for the L3 ChargePoint when we stay in Nags Head every year.

Why not charge at Tesla in Nags Head?
I only received my official Tesla adapter in the last year. It wasn't an option until now 🙂 And the Tesla chargers I'm thinking of were at the Harris Teeter in Kill Devils Hills.

The Harris Teeter SC is V2 and not compatible with Rivian. The Nags Head one is V3 and compatible.

This is great news. We used to go to OBX (Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, and Duck) for over a decade, but haven't gone in several years now. It was great to see Tesla had something we could use there starting last year, but I would much rather use the RAN network and give Rivian the money.

OMG this is awesome, not sure how I missed it. Other than the Tesla SC by the mall in Nags Head, it was a real DCFC desert. Definitely fits with the gateway to adventure vibe, the OBX has a lot of beach driving year-round in the north (Corolla) and the south (Hatteras). We have a house in Corolla that we rent, and I installed a Tesla UWC there for guests.
