The charging station does not have any signage to indicate that it is for hotel guests only. The charger appears to be quite new as there is a setup menu on the screen and it does not have pricing or location information displayed. While your electrons are flowing, you can of course head over to the outlet mall https://www.yelp.com/biz/charlotte-premium-outlets-charlotte?hrid=1522Ctx0M25JJ3kQ8dGo0g for some retail therapy. I recommend nearby 37 Sol for a meal https://www.yelp.com/biz/37-sol-southwest-kitchen-and-tequila-bar-charlotte-3?hrid=fL-57L_gCfujUm2EMLYuoQ.

Deep in a mostly industrial zone and around the corner from some opaque shrubbery, you'll find five…read moreEV charging stations totaling ten plugs in the parking lot of a local business, Celgard (they make something to do with batteries?). 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. The only thing I spotted nearby to keep you occupied while your electrons refill is the Lucky Dog Bark & Brew Steele Creek https://www.yelp.com/biz/lucky-dog-bark-and-brew-steele-creek-charlotte-2?uid=hWDybu_KvYLSdEFzGrniTw that has beer and cocktails and a rotating food truck schedule.

If you're here, obviously you're staying in the hotel. There are fast food and fast casual restaurants within walking distance. The shopping at the Premium Outlets is a bit further but walkable. The ChargePoint has two J1772 chargers. Both are free. I like free. There is also a Tesla charging point but I was not able to find information about it.

There is no shade but there are a few things to do while you wait for the electrons to flow. A North Carolina ABC store is close but I'd recommend walking over to Luigi's Pizza, the best New York style in Charlotte. A pho restaurant, McDonald's, froyo, Chick-Fil-A, IHOP, sushi, another pizza place, Publix, Lowe's Home Improvement and a full Walmart Supercenter. This is located just off I-485 not far from where it meets I-77. Convenient location. Two exits to the shopping center, the one to the west exits onto Arrowood and that takes you right to I-485. Or the east exit which has a traffic light. [Review 2029 of 2024 - 3741 in North Carolina - 23051 overall]

The parking spaces are designated as for EV charging only and it looks like they mean business, setting out traffic cones with a misspelled "all others will be towed at owners expence." They do not seem to be otherwise reserved for hotel guests only, so maybe you can use them if you're not one.
