I think one side is the actually chargers and the other side is the plugs. Was just there 10 minutes ago
Danbury, CT Supercharger
- Thread starter tanker5
- Start date
Mods might want to consider moving Danbury from the 'Mid-Atlantic'. New England's already a pretty small region, would hate to see western Connecticut secede.
Might as well let it. It's already Yankees country.
That would make sense, as there is little space on that side. Although does that mean there will only be 10 stalls?
Looks like only 10 in that location as there are 5 chargers, so 10 plugs. Drove around but couldn't see any other construction, but might complete one before starting another
Where did the initial thought of 20 stalls come from? I don't think they would separate them but maybe.
Supercharge.info has it as 20 stalls. Given the size of the parking lot, and these being so near the main entrance, I would be surprised if there were two sets of 10

Yes, we usually do a "Charge In" meet up. We did that at the CT Post Mall about 2 weeks after it opened.
"Big" is relative.

Here are some pics from today. I only count 10 stalls so far.

From the photos, it looks like they are getting close - any guesses on when this supercharger will go live? September?
I am sorry for the confusion. When I initially reported the site to supercharge.info, I speculated that there would be at least 20 stalls. My assumption was based on a few factors.
First, there were earlier reports about a huge Danbury site in the works when Milford Post Mall was under construction on that forum. It was stated then that the Danbury site would be "As big as the Milford Post Road SuperCharger -- or even bigger". Second, at the time I discovered this site, another 20 stall site was being built in Guilderland, NY (Albany). When I first saw the construction, I jumped the gun and speculated that this would also be a 20-stall supercharger based on the size of the area which was being fenced off.
Again, I am so sorry for the confusion, but based on what I am now reading on this forum, it looks as if this site will be a 10-stall site.
I think late September is possible, but not probable. The Milford Post Road Supercharger construction was complete for 6 weeks before the site went live. I think this one might be live by late October.
you have brought great disrespect to your family.... but seriously, thanks for getting it on there in the first place!
Girlfriend just sent me this today. Still under the covers. She said there are "about seven." Not sure if she really counted or just eyeballed, or maybe they're not all up yet.

Just stopped by this afternoon. I plugged in — while my charger port opened automatically it wouldn't start to charge. Looks like this should be open soon! 10 stalls, although they are “back-in” configurations and in a busy spot in the parking lot - I anticipate it being a bit annoying to back in with all of the traffic turning the corner into the parking lot.

It shouldn't be too bad. Except for the busy shopping season leading up the Christmas, that area of the parking lot isn't used all the often.
Thanks for the update. Glad to see we are close to another charger in CT.
Drove by yesterday - location looks great. New parking lines painted, "Tesla Only" signs posted, superchargers look like they are ready for their first customers. All that's left is to turn the power on....hope they go live soon!
I was there a couple of days ago and didn't get around to posting this until now. It appears that the contractors have finished their work. Now, we are waiting on the power company to install the transformer and meter. Then the city of Danbury has to do an inspection before power can be turned on. Finally, Tesla will run their own inspection and number the stalls. I think it will be at least a few weeks before this one goes live. Hopefully before the end of next month. Here are some pics I took of where the transformer and meter will go and the stalls.
The transformer will most likely go here.
Waiting on meter to be installed as well. Also pretty sure the city of Danbury might take exception with that bush so close to the electrical cabinet. It might need to be moved.
Stalls need to be numbered. Usually at this point, they are covered with caution tape or plastic bags. I wonder why they are uncovered. Maybe no one got around to it. Also like the "Tesla Vehicle Only Charging" signs.
