12 Stalls (3 sets of 4 dispensers, total 750 kW site power)

$0.57 per kWh, $0.41 per kWh for membership

The Burger King in Monroe was the 1st charging stop on my trip to check off some sites that I missed on my first big road trip.  This medium sized site with 12 dispensers using the newer V4 dispensers.  This site is also the newest Supercharger location in MI, until the new DTW airport location opens.  (This station opened in November 2025).  

Accessibility

This Burger King site takes up the entire eastern edge of the parking lot.  The site is 0.3 miles from I-75 at exit 15.  Just east of the highway, along Dixie Highway.  The stalls are arranged along the outer edge of the parking lot.  The dispensers are all in a row which doesn’t leave good parking option for those needing to charge while trailering.  The stall furthest from the entrance is the dedicated accessible stall.  Most spots will be clear anytime, but the ones on the end might have trouble with drive thru traffic if the business is busy.

Amenities

Dining options include: Burger King, Angelo’s Chop House

Shopping options include: None

Car-related services (windshield cleaning, air): Citgo gas station across the street

There are plenty of hotels in the area.

Concentration

This is medium 12 stall V4 location.  The dispensers are arranged along the outer edge of the parking lot.  The power cabinets are placed directly behind the dispensers.  The 12 stalls are from 2025 and are prefab style installation.  The longer V4 cables support more model types, but no magic dock here; bring your own adapter.  The positioning of this site in the parking lot leaves lots of room to maneuver to connect.

Location

This site supports I-75.  Along this highway to the north are Detroit at 40 miles, and Flint at 100 miles.  To the south are Toledo at 25 miles, and Dayton, OH at 180 miles.

150 Mile Range Estimate:

Speed

The currently installed V3 power cabinets can produce up to 500V and 600A.  The power cabinets are connected by the high voltage DC bus, and thus can share power amongst all the dispensers.  Of course, this 500V limitation reduces the peak charging speeds for some 800V architecture vehicles, but the 600A output works well for lower voltage higher amperage vehicles.  Transformer power for the site is a full 1000kVA, just enough power for 3 power cabinets that can peek at 325kW each.

Summary

I thought this was going to be one of only two Tesla sites I have visited and had no cars charging, however, just as I was leaving a Tesla did pull up and start charging.  I did not charge this time at this location as I had planned to charge at another location nearby that was cheaper.  The overall vibe of this location is very sparse with few amenities beside the 2 close restaurants.  I guess some of the nearby hotels would be walkable if you needed an after-hours stop, but none of those routes would be well lit for walking.

What I paid for this stop:

I couldn’t charge here.
