Electrify America - San Dimas, CA

I spotted this near Sam's Club Tire center in Glendora. The construction worker I talked to said it was for solar panels and was not sure if it was for superchargers.

Those look like Tesla Powerpacks due to the grills. Superchargers have a different top shape cabinet.

Cool. That's a Powerpack installation (i.e. commercial/industrial battery). Good eye, though.

The San Dimas City Council passed a zoning ordinance change which would allow the building department to review applications for charging stations themselves as long as they met the criteria in the ordinance. Final approval of the ordinance will be next week, and it will go into effect 30 days thereafter. Hopefully Tesla will be ready to submit their plans around July 11th.

Great. The last meeting minutes seemed to indicate that adoption of the resolution was imminent, so it's great to see progress on that front! Looking forward to July.

I have also been following this through the council and just a couple days ago a Tesla service rep said: "San Dimas Supercharger is coming," which supported a motivation for San Dimas to make accommodations.

Any updates on ETA? And is it sams club location thanks

 

[TerranApart]

I haven't seen any updates on the city council docs as of last week. I might get a chance to drive by this evening and check.

 

[TerranApart]

As of this evening, no supercharger developments to be seen at Costco, nor Target (Cienega), nor the shopping center on Lone Hill/Arrow west of Target.

Looks like more patience and waiting is in order.

 

[Socal3XXXX]

Thanks for update

Still no developments on this supercharger.

 

[TerranApart]

If it's going in one of the shopping centers per speculations, it wouldn't be at all surprising if nothing happened until after Christmas/holidays.

Target has a temporary fence up to the south of the store. It may just be for remodeling as many of the targets in the area are getting re-modeled. Will keep an eye on it.

Went by yesterday to check out the temporary fence. It was open and nobody was in there so I went in to poke around. No equipment or anything back there yet, just a temporary office bungalow. Seems like kind of a large area sectioned of to be a supercharger so it might just be unrelated target construction but I’ll keep an eye on it because I don’t live far. Would be nice to get a supercharger in the area eventually. West Covina was negotiating with Tesla about super chargers at one point but that must have fell through because that was a while back.

 

[SilverSp33d3r]

Was not fenced for supercharger buildout, it’s equipment for the Target remodel. Hopefully San Dimas gets built out soon.

 

[SilverSp33d3r]

Another construction fence in same area as highlighted above. 1 mobile mini storage unit and two excavators on site. Can’t find permits in search.

It’s looking pretty encouraging that this is Indeed going to be a supercharger station at Target in San Dimas (Southside of parking lot). Attached are some pictures I took Aug-1-2020

 

[SilverSp33d3r]

I think it’s very interesting they have the parkway fenced off in addition to the parking lot. This pairs well for supercharger trenching you take place on the hillside. There’s also a boom lift now there so I’m not sure what’s planned. Thanks for the pics!

 

[SilverSp33d3r]

Additional update: conduit stacks now on site. Asphalt has started being removed as well.

The contractor on site is

Today’s picture was taken on Aug-5-20. It’s hard to see in this picture, however theirs a 4’ deep trench along the curb of this parking lot with a lot of plastic tubing In it (no doubt for electrical wiring), I can’t conceive of anything else but a supercharger station being constructed here.
