Supercharger - Ashland, OR (LIVE 1 Sep 2023, 24 V3 stalls)

[ninerbynature]

You don't need to drive by every few days. This hasn't event passed through the planning commission yet. Then it needs to pass through the building department before a building permit is issued and construction can begin.

You posted the appeal response on Sept 8. The Public Type 1 hearing was on the Planning Commission Agenda on Sept 13.

I can't find a recording of it but they should have presented that the appeal was denied paving way for the planning approval to follow to the building department. We will find out in a week or two when the September approved permits are posted here Building Permit Log - Building Division - Community Development - City of Ashland, Oregon if it has been issued or not. Also, it will show up on an 811 request before they can actually start digging. It has not shown up as of now.

Yea I knew appeal was denied, I just havent followed closely since. Clover lane isn't out of my way, gives me something to do lol

Came here looking to confirm the appeal by the solar company was denied. whew, thankful. What's their angle?

It’s hard to know. The appellant paid $150.00 to file something that was clearly not going to change any decision. My opinion is that he has done some work for local dealers & wanted to curry favor with them. He seemed to think that Tesla should put other types of chargers on a site they are paying to develop. That makes no sense.

The solar guy sure had a lot of objections. However, the appeal was denied. The Supercharger was approved.

Ashland Tesla Supercharger station proposal survives appeal - Ashland News - Community-Supported, NonProfit News

The Ashland Planning Commission has allowed a planned Tesla Supercharger station to move forward after a citizen appeal brought forward concerns about strain on the city’s electrical grid. On Tuesday night, Oct. 11, a month after hearing the appeal on Sept. 13, commissioners denied an appeal...

If he is a solar installer, and legit thinks electric cars strain the grid, then he's in the perfect business to mitigate that strain by selling his services to homes, businesses, and municipalities. So... more "strain" would be in his economic interest (higher electrical rates mean more people decide to install solar)

He just installed a large solar system at the Chevy dealership in Ashland, the one he used as an example in his appeal about the supercharger not being compatible with anything but teslas

Permit was issued back in November.

Dig ticket filed but not sure how Asia relates to Tesla. Unless its related to the electrical contractor.

Asia Johnson is the local parcel owner, or at least was when tesla started this application.

Ah, I missed that. Still odd that the work is listed as being done for the owner and not the tenant as is normally the case. It is a new to Tesla company doing the trenching. At least as far as I can tell.

@Big Earl can we get this added as under construction please

So far, we haven't been accepting dig tickets as evidence of construction. The editing team might want to talk about expanding the definition to include dig tickets, but until that time, we'd like to see site pics, first hand observations from reliable sources, or progress through the permitting process (inspections and the like).

I posted pictures of the construction further up, does it need to show Tesla hardware on site?

Nicely leveled already... this lot was a mess previously.

"electric car giant"

Remember when they'd write "upstart electric car maker"?

Mini splitter (gap is only 55 miles) but big for capacity and density in the area.

I still chuckle at ‘Tesla Killers’, now Tesla is killing them.

 

[60Viking]

He has 100% made sure I will never do business with him, at the minimum..

One of the other public comments was from a Ford EV owner, who said we don't need a 24 stall supercharger because one of the local wineries has 2 HPWC available, and her ford app shows no charging around for her vehicle.

The Ford EV owner should be telling Ford to start their own charging network instead of whining about no chargers for her EV.
