Are they just pouring concrete for the EVgo pads?

Guys were working today. Not the greatest Wawa. Small bathrooms.

Pipe bollards,SC main cabinets, electrical pad. I wasn’t looking for the transformer pad which would be precast. The pads were in the forefront of my picture. The charging pedestals are the standard precast.

The poles (Bollards) are up and the precast is done so the underground should now be done.

The Tesla Supercharger stands were already in place when I was there on Thursday, January 13. I'm surprised how fast this installation is going. I didn't see any EVgo chargers, but I also didn't get out of car to get a real close look and it was dark.

11 Tesla stalls.

Update: 12 Tesla stalls.

Just now spotted this pad for another stall.

Boy that was progress. 12 stalls even better.

 

[Darth Ed]

Was the permit updated? The permit as shown earlier in this thread was for 8 Tesla stalls, not 12. Any sign of where are the two EVgo stalls will go?

 

[Darth Ed]

Stopped by yesterday and the EVgo stalls were up! (The Tesla stalls are to the left of the cabinets shown here.)

So the fencing is all down here except for a small corner where there's still some leftover stuff (large spools of wiring, some crates). Other than that corner, everything is cleaned up and looks ready to go. I'm sure there must still be some electrical work to do, as well as inspections, of course.

The new thing I noticed was that there are actually four EVgo stalls now since I posted the picture above. So they've increased the number of Tesla stalls from 8 to 12 and doubled the number of EVgo stalls from what the initial permit said. The other two EVgo stalls are to the left of the two cabinets in the picture in the previous post.

12 Tesla Supercharger stalls, two 100 kW "Delta" brand DCFC in the far left corner and two 175 kW Signet chargers (right) with separate charger cabinets (center). No transformer.

Here are some more pictures (close ups of the "Delta" chargers!):

Boy I hope there faster with the transformer than they were on the DC market street site. Is this area BG&E or Pepco. Or are they both the same now with the merger?

I'm pretty sure it's Pepco. Powder Mill Road used to be he dividing line and this is south of it.

I’m glad to see this charger is making progress! Having More superchargers along this side of the Beltway is always welcome, especially with all of the East Coast traffic that it gets (I-95 runs on this side of the Beltway, so there’s always people traveling through there).

The Royal Farms off Ritchie-Marlboro Road (Exit 13) would be another good site, but that area can get pretty crazy with traffic sometimes. The Wawa across the beltway gets overcrowded and there’s really no room to build a supercharger on that site.

Waiting for a transformer here.

 

[Big Earl]

This Wawa is super busy. Cabinets are still covered.

 

[Lanny]

Still no transformer as of today.

Hello!

No meter yet though.
