Supercharger - Auburn, CA (LIVE 3 Feb 2022, 12 V3 stalls)

[Zorg]

Roseville to Auburn is less than 20 miles, and will end up with 6 supercharger sites once the next Rocklin SC is open. That's a pretty good concentration before climbing the Sierra.

That might be true but I don't think you realize how packed and congested the Rocklin charging station is it's really really bad

This 12 bay here in Auburn is really going to help relieve a lot of congestion

We used to charge in Rocklin, and now go to Loomis on our way up as it's closer to the freeway and easy to grab a bite. Auburn will be a nice additional option

Saw the SC from Hwy 80 yesterday on our way back down the hill. Looks really close to the freeway. Nice.

Colfax would be a great addition (and Blue Canyon, if they can find a spot for it)

I decided to check in on progress today and it looks like they're laying all the underground electrical wire. Here are some pictures.

I just stopped by and they are laying asphalt now. I'm guessing we'll be on 'transformer watch' pretty soon. It should be where the steel bollards are in your pics.

 

[Zorg]

Exciting.

**UPDATE 10/05/2021**

Looks to be completed.... Probably need to complete testing clean up the area and get final approval from the county.

 

[Zorg]

Nice. So, just waiting for the transformer?

 

[Yombad]

Fence is down, crew is gone. Looks like we are waiting on the transformer. The last inspection was last week for "Final Electrical" with a result of "Not Ready". Hopefully that just means that they'll final it after the transformer is installed.

Hoping this’ll be up and ready just in time for some Tahoe ski trips we have planned.

My dogs are going to love those trees on our way up to Tahoe.

I was doing some Google recon, and there are a few fast food joints (M.D. Carl's Jr, Taco Bell) that are opened late and that are basically on the way to the SC when exiting 80.

Yup, there is a ton of stuff here. And right over the highway is Raley's, along with other food options. I live here, happy to answer any questions anyone has. But over all, this is a GREAT location

I've been to Maria's Tacos before and it was pretty good, but they close too early for my usual arrival time when going up the mountains. This is gonna be a busy SC for sure. 120-150 miles from the bay, 66 miles from Truckee. This is the perfect location.

For a great breakfast, Awful Annie’s is my go to heading from the Bay Area to Truckee/Tahoe area.

I will see your Awful Annie's and raise you a Donner Lake Kitchen huevos rancheros.

 

[DWdrum]

I call the Awful, see the Donner and RAISE, ALL IN on Katrina's. Simply nothing better in this town!

 

[RWhitten]

Don't think it is open, but fences are down, pavement and chargers are installed. Not on the Nav map yet, but hopefully soon. My 85D can make it from Truckee home (200 miles) at 75 mph, but can't make the trip up, so recharging in Auburn is ideal, especially is the are the 250 Kw.
