There are four charging stations here in the parking deck of the LYNX I-485 Station. Great for…read morecommuters, they are currently priced as "free" and there do not appear to be any restrictions. The chargers are located to the left as you enter the parking deck and are on the ground floor. Two are dedicated handicapped parking spaces and the others are just behind them on the center wall. These are also dedicated EV only parking. I don't know if they'll remain free, but they're free for now. The spots are in the parking deck so they're shaded and the parking deck is open 24 hours. There is a Steak 'n Shake https://www.yelp.com/biz/steak-n-shake-charlotte-4?hrid=DoYnENVk9fLFyeYoTsfWSw one block away if you need a snack while your car is charging.

There are stairs nearby to get back to ground level. There are two chargers. Both are "Level 2, J1772, 6.6 kW". And they're FREE! Lots nearby to do while you wait for the juice to flow into your EV. I'd recommend fried chicken at The Eagle Food & Beer Hall https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-eagle-food-and-beer-hall-charlotte?hrid=KPUUoodmqq_rwZcCNY3y0w or get a cortado at Not Just Coffee https://www.yelp.com/biz/not-just-coffee-atherton-mill-charlotte?hrid=Kcb7XMwHWwbava9R9WMCGw.

I saw no signage indicating that it is private property and the spaces appear to be open for public use. These are "Clipper Creek" charging stations and they have the usual J1772 7.2 kW connectors that are in common use. The lot is about 2 miles from I-77 at Carowinds Blvd. It is in the middle of the parking lot so there is no shade.

It's a "green" company so I would expect them to support an EV charger. The charging station is located on the outside level of the parking deck, in front of the store. It has two Level 2 J1772 connections, both at 6.6 kW. They are free and the parking here is also free. Other than the Whole Foods, there are several restaurants within a short walk including Burger King, Rusty Bucket, Cafe Monte, Harpers and Baoding. The Sharon Corners shopping center has retail stores and of course the huge Southpark mall is not far. The parking area where the charger is located is not shaded.
