Supercharger - Alexandria, MN

Wow, are the white Controller boxes already in place on their bases? Progress.

Transformer is in place too already, nice.

They've been installed since October! Shame there was such a cabinet shortage

Well lookie here... pedestals are in! Sorry, with all the laws about a phone in-hand (and I didn’t want to record with Tessy’s side cams), I figured this was lucky enough to get.

I swung by. Here’s some more pics.

Alexandria Electric. Glad to see they are using local people. Fingers crossed Fargo gets equipment in the near future.

Pedestals are all complete. All that is left is the inverter boxes. Probably going to open soon, assuming the inspection goes quick.

Nice Tesla you got there. Does this count as ICEing?

I'm taking a trip up to Winnipeg this month, and having this open would save me some CHAdemO time.

Or is that an EVasive option?

Man, the Volt actually looks good. So confounding. "Let's do a full BEV instead of just a PHEV. The Volt's styling is pretty good so what should we do for the Bolt styling? Saaaaayyy ... what if we make it look like an over-priced Aveo?"

 

[Collin]

Does anyone know if they have done any testing here yet?

Hey c'mon guys. Cut the man some slack. I don't care if he has a Bolt, a Buick or a Peterbuilt. He's a local, giving us some excellent info and you're rolling him in the back alley.

Hey @TylerB, great info! Please keep us up to date. Your efforts are appreciated.

I'll make sure to park in the ChargePoint stalls, don't worry.

As far as the updates go, nothing yet. Still waiting on the meters last I checked.

@TylerB my wife will be driving to Perham in late February so I very much appreciate these updates. Thank you!

Drove through Alex today, but still don't know when they're going online.

Sorry, bad panoramic pic. That is not a low spot in the middle.

 

[TylerB]

ALEXANDRIA IS ONLINE!!!

 

[Swamey1]

@BlueShift Alexandria appears live

 

[tharasix]

@TylerB Any chance you can plug in and see how they work? Given the flakiness of the Canadian V3 Superchargers, I'd love to see some evidence that these actually work before I depend on them for my trip next weekend.

We’ve shopped this store for years and it will be interesting to see how often these are blocked even with the Tesla parking only signage. It’s a very busy store especially on weekends.

ChargePoint’s need to be energized yet but otherwise

This is so fantastic. Hopefully they move on to Fargo next. That would fill a major hole in the region.
