Meijer - Roseville, MI

Introduction

From my road trip to visit all the Electrify America (EA) in Michigan

Business/Location Name

Meijer

Address

30800 Little Mack Ave. Roseville, MI

Network

Electrify America

Station Details

4 Stations (2 - 350 kW, 2 - 150 kW)

Cost

$0.31 per kWh

The Meijer Roseville EA station was the first stop on my lap around Michigan.  This stop is off of I-94 just north of the intersection with I-696.



Accessibility

I-94 exit 232 onto Little Mack Ave.  The south end of the Meijer parking lot; one row over from the Tesla Superchargers.  Less than one half mile from the freeway.  This site offers easy access while road tripping.

 

 

Amenities

In addition to the Meijer at this location: Culver’s, Cracker Barrel, Taco Bell, IHOP

Shopping: Home Depot, Ollie’s Discount Outlet, Joann Fabrics, Petsmart, and Kroger

There is both a Meijer gas station and Speedway close for other car related services.

 

Concentration

This is a standard 4 station layout for EA.  These are arranged in the pull up to configuration, which makes charging with Elektra’s front port location easy, but those with fender locations need to stretch the cables to make the connections.

 Location

This site is well positioned to support the I-94 corridor.  45 miles from the start of I-94 at the US/Canadian border with the Blue Water Bridge, and 52 miles to the next EA station along I-94 in Ypsilanti, MI

 Speed

Electrify America has the fastest chargers available today.  The sites support both 350kW and 150kW stations.  The sites are well equipped to handle the current electric cars and those to come in the future.

 Summary

According to my scoring below, this site ranks a solid grade B.  Actually, this site receives one of the top scores to date.  (My scoring system is challenging).  The site is well appointed with easy access, and plenty of surrounding amenities.  My early morning quick stop was an excellent example of just how easy this stop is to use.
