Not meaning to be a downer, but it's a bit of a hike off i81.
Just surprised and a bit disappointed that they chose a site so far off i81.
I know that they plan to add quite a few chargers to i81 and I hope that the rest are closer. Should make for a nice mix of EA and Rivian fast chargers to get through that stretch.

It is a bit off of 81, but I think they also chose this location because of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Great to finally see some progress in VA. Now we just need Front Royal to open so I can charge on my Skyline Drive trips.
I went and checked on the ones in Front Royal a couple of weeks ago, they are still covered.?

I didn't think of that. Makes sense. I'm not too familiar with Roanoke besides driving past it on 81
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© ?

Where is it located? Close to 66 or 81? Good for a top up before 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)!!
