    Supercharger - Mountain View, CA - Grant Rd (under construction, 32 stalls)

    Metering simply means the counting of kilowatt hours. I agree that this happens car side, prior to these new boards. However the communication of the result happens via the gateway located with the supercharger hardware. Reference: Tesla Upgrading Its Supercharging Network To V3 For...

    Supercharger - Mountain View, CA - Grant Rd (under construction, 32 stalls)

    Supercharger - Mountain View, CA - Grant Rd (under construction, 32 stalls)

    The electrical contractor and PG&E were both onsite yesterday. PG&E appeared to be hooking things up inside a cabinet. The no parking signs that PG&E put up only had January 9 in the date field, so it seems like they intended to finish up. While they were working a few of the stalls had their...
