Supercharger — Auburn Hills, Michigan
- Thread starter Joel
- Start date
Crates are still packed, but it looks like conduits for each stall is in place.
The location of the Supercharger is on the north side of the parking lot, just south of Brown Road in the large parking lot island. Pretty good location for long distance travel on I-75 since it's near Great Lakes Crossing, and close to a few restaurants.

But Great Lakes Crossing mall is on the other side of the expressway, as I recall. Parking here to charge and walking across the expressway to the mall is really not feasible. But with Meijer and Target right here it's easy to spend a half hour doing a little shopping anyway.

Yes, near, not next to. If Great Lakes Crossing, which has the only Bass Pro Shop in Michigan, is a destination with a wide draw then the super charger is convenient for a day trip recharge. It's convenient to have superchargers near tourist draw locations even if it's not in a "park-and-shop" location. Level 2 chargers would align more with that thought.

In this case, it is much cheaper to charge at homeOr drop the family off at the mall then charge while taking a nap
The exact location is slightly different as you can see in my attached map. It is a much smaller area so I wonder if we are going have less than 8 unites!The location of the Supercharger is on the north side of the parking lot, just south of Brown Road in the large parking lot island.

Are you sure about that? If you look at the pictures in my post, you can see the large trees that are planted in the parking lot island in the section that I highlighted. Also, I took a screen shot of my phone location on Google maps when I took the picture with the intent on using it to post about the location. It shows parked closer to the island that I marked.
If you go back to the photo posted by @jdistelrarh, it shows the electrician’s trailer parked in a 7 space area adjacent to the brick trash dumpster enclosure for the Meijer gas station. (I checked google maps to verify what the brick enclosure is). That is where Sambas saw some action.
Also, that image shows a solid yellow line that is a road divider for 2-way traffic.
In the later photo posted by Dazureus, it shows a backhoe on a rainy day in a 10 space area with a new cement curb. It’s unlikely that the additional spaces would have the lines painted at this point of the construction, so it is probable that electrical lines had to be run from the area near the gas station to the area where dazureus shot the backhoe.
Pure speculation of course.

It makes sense. It looks like they are installing the transformers and the electrical switch gears in the area closer to the gas station and the superchargers will be across the driveway. It is a strange setup though, I will try to get back there during daylight and take some pictures.
Yeah I guess I am only seeing 8. I thought maybe there were extra stalls in the picture with “Meijer” in the background.
I just came back from there and it appears that they have two different construction areas. The grassy area within the blue circle is where the equipments are going to be. Between the two red arrows there are 8 SC stalls one of them is trailer accessible. Sorry my pictures are not as good as lamb11rl.
