Enumclaw Supercharger- Any News?

[Padelford]

I’ve been looking forward to looping Mt Rainier National Park (Paradise & Sunrise) from Seattle via Maple Valley, and I can’t without the promised Supercharger in Enumclaw. Anyone heard any progress?

No entries in permit or utility survey databases

You should be able to go to Sunrise and back with little problem. Even Paradise is possible if you're careful.

Also, if someone had info on an Enumclaw supercharger, they would have started a thread already.

 

[Padelford]

I’ve been checking the Enumclaw permit web page infrequently. I don’t know if anyone else is checking, or if someone has some inside info.

Tacoma would be more useful and serve the Mt. Rainier loop as well. I reckon that is also higher on the list than Enumclaw.

Sunrise can be covered by Issaquah SC. it consumed 50kWh energy for roundtrip with Model X

Has anyone ever been to Sunrise visitor center (Mt. Rainier) with 75D?

I poked around Citizens Connect by Bitco Software but didn't see anything. You could contact them directly and ask if they've heard anything about Tesla Superchargers.

I want to do both Sunrise and Paradise and circumnavigate the park. I ran simulations and cannot do this trip with Issaquah. A Supercharger or a CHAdeMO charger is needed in Enumclaw as “planned”.

With no evidence that there's Enumclaw construction starting by now, can we conclude it won't be done for the foreseeable future?

3mm6md. Got tired of writing it out.

 

[Seattle]

3mm6md => 3 months, maybe 6 months, dunnoknow? ;^)

Foreseeable == 2020.

Hate to say it but I highly doubt this location is being considered prior to 2025... Just not the owner density to support such a CAPEX.

It’s not necessarily owner density is it? I believe demand from drivers is the key. There’s a pass out of Enumclaw that requires a charge to make it over and currently there not one on the other side of the pass either. As a person that lives in the neighboring town I’m stuck taking 90 to eastern Washington until these chargers are installed unless I won’t to pony up cash for the juice.

I received a reply from Rose at Tesla when I asked about the Enumclaw Supercharger. I’d recommend that you and others contact her & add your support for Enumclaw:

State HWY 410 is not open year around which is the primary reason that Enumclaw won't happen anytime soon. Density is king here...

To access Crystal Mountain Ski area from Seattle, a supercharger in Enumclaw is very helpful. Also, there’s Sunrise area of Mt. Rainier in the Summer.

Both of these locations will be targeted for level 2 chargers given their use case. For those of you passing Auburn on your way to 410, I would suggest looking into open permitting applications with City of Auburn. You might just be surprised...

I think "coverage" is more important than demand. Tesla should cover most of territory first, then put supplementary charger.
it's shameful to say "I cannot (or risky) go Paradise in Mt. Rainier with my Tesla" while Rainier NP is one of the most visited NP in the country.
