It is a bit off of 81, but I think they also chose this location because of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I went and checked on the ones in Front Royal a couple of weeks ago, they are still covered.?
I think it’s also why they opened the one in Blowing Rock. Rivian seems to be targeting the “naturey” routes because of brand aesthetic© ?
It is right in the parking lot of the Rent-A-Center in Riverton Commons. Yes. Good location for both 66 traffic and Skyline Drive.
They’ve very specifically mentioned the Blue Ridge Parkway since the original RAN announcement. It’s a great route for them. Tons of beautiful scenery, great hiking, biking, etc, and large chunks of DCFC desert along one of the US’s most famous scenic routes. Oh, and one of the most-visited national parks.
I’m happy about it. I live in DC now but grew up in Pigeon Forge so this route couldn’t be more perfect for me… all my family still is in Tennessee so I’m down there usually once every couple of months. ?
Then I expect you to get us inside info on when and where they’re going to be building their future RAN station in Gatlinburg (or wherever it will be in that area)!!
