What time are you leaving the city?

I have my regular day in NYC on wednesday, and will swing past Danbury around 530-6. Will update here wth whether it is open or not, if that helps you out

Thanks. I’ll probably be leaving the city around then. I can usually charge all day at a NEMA 14-50 in the loading dock during my board meeting so should have range to reach West Hartford (or Milford) but prefer to avoid 95/Merritt traffic, and Danbury would be a better time for dinner than West Hartford.

Just an observation on the Danbury location. I was up there today and noticed the cabinets are across the street from the supercharger spots.

This would mean that there has to be a conduit running under the road to the Superchargers. Does anyone remember them digging anything? I saw no fresh scarring of the pavement and it doesn’t look like it was repaved recently.

Also there is a utility hole cover there but it has green utility markings. Which means someone called 811 to Mark to dig (possibly for the conduit). I don’t believe the conduit is in that utility cover because green markings are for sewer/drain lines.

So it’s logical to assume the called to dig the trench for the conduit, but haven’t yet.... unless there is some other underground conduit that I didn’t see any access point to.

Those cabinets have been there for months.

Apparently this forum works well, as the supercharger isn’t live officially, yet there are two people here charging already

I was just about to ask if it was affected by yesterdays storm. I know Danbury was hit pretty hard. But I guess it is still up and running. Not on my navigation yet. But I plan to stop by tomorrow.

30% of Danbury customers are without power right now. The mall tweeted the following:

We hope everyone is safe after last night's storm. Danbury Fair will open on time today at 10am. We added extra charging stations & mall WiFi connection is strong. We do expect delayed openings from our retailers. Please call specific retailer for opening hours.

I would not plan on it being operational if I were passing through.
