Supercharger - Baldwin (Espanola), ON

[dfwjensen]

Drive by tonight (Nov 1). Pedestals are in. Pics attached.

 

[dfwjensen]

Drive by again today (Nov 3) and the fencing is down. Same with the Blind River and Sault Saint Marie chargers.

Drove by on Nov 15 - same status. Tried to charge out of principle and no go. Driving back through on Wed and will try again.

I wonder if the power company transformer is installed yet?
Similar to this at Deep River ON:

Good question - I’ll look for that on Wed.....

Yep - no green box anywhere

did you see an empty concrete pad which look like it was waiting for a transformer? I've seen pole-mounted overhead transformers at some sites, and I haven't yet seen an empty concrete pad in Espanola pictures, so I'm wondering if the pole mounted ones on the extreme right of this image are the transformers in this case:

Those pole mounted containers are indeed transformers, but not the size needed for Superchargers. Likely for one or more businesses or feed for one or more homes (or apartment condo etc.).
The transformer needed for a Supercharger will be the size of a small dumpster. It will be on property but could be up to 100 yards away (okay okay 100 meters).

As an update, based on a post to the North Bay Supercharger thread it looks like this Supercharger (which is now showing up in the Tesla app and on the car map, albeit as temporarily closed) may actually be called Baldwin, ON by Tesla:

Fair enough. It’s in Baldwin Township and is several kilometres from Espanola proper.

Note: this location will appear as Baldwin, ON on Supercharge Info when it opens, as I updated Supercharge Info yesterday, before any of the news came out. As the location is named Baldwin by Tesla, I’d ask @Doug_G to rename the thread to “Supercharger - Baldwin (Espanola), ON” . Thanks

Open according to my car map now..... But doesn't say how many stalls.

Agree, but no need to have Espanola in parentheses imo.

Supercharging info map states Tesla opened the chargers on the 12 Dec but as we can see this is not the case.

Why is that? My car map says they are open. Did you stop by?

Not working

Baldwin is up and running!

Looks like half the stalls are signed general parking 15 mins max, and half are signed Tesla charging only.

The chargers are indeed working but are quite slow as of yet. Maybe Santa will do some magic!

Getting 82kW in espanola (40% SOC). Car notified me the station was closed on route to sault ste Marie and got me to route to blind river instead.
I checked it out anyway and it said reduced service but still open.
