Interesting on the ADA spot as unless they changed the signage, it is explicitly signed to allow non-placarded vehicles to charge ("use last").

Interesting location. It's not a parking lot of any sort today, but rather a fenced-in vacant lot for the last three or so years, which used to be fully occupied by a restaurant building and what was maybe originally built as a residential duplex next door. The building looks like it was torn...

Could have been a good deal on the lease because of this.

Location is approximately 33.831189, -118.073551. Address appears to be 12110 E Carson St, Hawaiian Gardens, CA 90716. Seems to be a smaller site, 10-12 stalls, unless there's another section we don't yet have a photo of. I guess the charger cabinets need to go somewhere and we don't have a...

Looks like the owner had been trying to sell it as a "business park" location (looks more like a shipping distribution center, with a proposal of two buildings totaling 2 million sq ft) since 2021, judging from the Google Street View imagery: Google Maps But it seems there are new different...

Sounds like they'd prefer if there were more restaurants in easy walking distance without crossing a busy highway? Despite Carls Jr. being 400 ft away as the crow flies, it requires crossing three times at the same traffic light to reach it on foot.

Thanks for the fix! It looks like Google Maps and the permit in the first comment agree that the site under construction is 44 S Weed Blvd, not 109 S Weed Blvd as is listed on supercharge.info, which would explain the misplaced pin.

Oh interesting, I hadn't considered the possibility of the city purchasing a new lot specifically to develop as an EV charging location. I think the other supercharger installations we've seen on public property have all been preexisting parking lots or garages.

The most recent Google street view from 2021 shows the location between Chevron and Valero as a mostly-vacant paved lot for sale, so probably not a public lot. I wonder if Tesla is leasing it, or bought the lot outright. From the photos, it seems supercharge.info has the pin on the wrong side...

Looks like the address for the same permit suddenly changed to a gas station a few miles due north of the previous address? Odd.

The photo is of the Redding Hilltop supercharger, and was posted here: Supercharger - Redding, CA - Hilltop Dr. (LIVE 15 Nov 2023, 44 stalls) Not sure why a picture of a different site was posted, possibly a mistake? @Fnlrun, is that your Twitter, and did you get a pic of the Weed site? (I...

If the spacing between chargers is not uniform, it's likely because there will be a designated accessible charging space. If so, some restriping is a given. With V4, a centered postion with longer cables would certainly work, but I don't think we've actually seen a location set up that way...

Seems odd to be installing an unusable pedestal in the meantime, though?

Maybe they plan to restripe the parking spaces to match the charger post locations?

It's not uncommon for ADA-accessible charging spots to be a bit away from the others. It looks like there are 10 "regular" spots in the photo, so there are likely two accessible ones out of view.
