    I remember a year or two ago I was eating at Koko Head Cafe and saw this? Do you folks know if this might be our first Supercharger site in Oahu?

    hmm. Maybe it's just tesla solar panel setup for that building.

    I’m pretty sure those are destination chargers. I really hope they put a SC in 2021. Why have referrals if we can’t use it... and they expire.

    Those are stores. There are no Superchargers in Hawaii. Currently there is only a permit for one in Lana'i City, which frankly I find WEIRD. But it's probably for a taxi service or something? Could also be that Larry Ellison owns most of the island and he's also a Tesla board member - so says another thread.

    Or maybe urban superchargers. Limited to 70kW.

    The Tesla hardware you see there is a Powerpack battery (energy storage system). The actual batteries are in the thinner cabinet on the left with the mesh front. The wider cabinet to the right with the "TESLA" across the front and red stripe is the inverter.

    Thanks for the info. I saw that in the early state when it was being build. My buddy from SoCal said that would be cool if that was a Supercharger.

    Nonetheless that is some cool tech.

    Not Superchargers or destination chargers. I guess we are so tired of hearing about the pandemic that we are pretending things have not been discussed before and start over. :D
