Electrical works specific to a supercharger??

Spotted on FB:

Does anyone in the area want to check it out?

 

[Kayto]

Yes, the Berry Supercharger is open! Six stands at the Silos Estate on the Princes Highway!

Apparently the official opening date is yet to be advised, but it’s definitely operating.

Sorry I don’t have a photo.

Interesting... how long has the marker been in the exact right place?

Oh wow, grass up to the charger! That's a first for any supercharger I've seen anywhere in the world...

That's pretty cool! Do a video review for Now You Know on Youtube

Who pays for the supply, installation and maintenance of Tesla superchargers?

All Tesla, they'd also likely pay rent for the space to Silos.

Wow, as commented in a few posts, the Berry supercharger is up and running. There is a six up whichh adds to their current set of four (mostly solar) existing chargers (DC and TC). Lots of gratitude to Raj and Sophie for the persistence to get this done. It took two years and lots of their own money to get this done

the official opening is end of the month, plantings, lights, etc to come)

Nice addition to the way-stations

The grass is not going to look pretty after some movement of heavy teslas.

There's a layer of GEOHEX or something similar under the grass, which should help.

Gotta love this place. Raj is doing a great job!!

Now for a charge, a glass of wine, and a great view!!

Absolutely stunning. I can see myself going out of my way just to stop off here

I stopped here the other day. It’s a great spot. One thing worth noting is the restaurant is operated separately to the cellar door. After a bit of back and forth I learned the restaurant opposed the Supercharger installation which apparently delayed it. While I wouldn’t hold it against the restaurant, it’s worth noting the community should head over to the cellar door to show support.

Had to go to Nowra for work today and stopped off at Berry for a charge on the way home.

Drove past this SC yesterday going south. Wanted to drop in and have a look but didn’t feel comfortable turning right into the winery with all the roadworks and the number of cars behind me. Will try and drop in on the return trip.
Hope they are putting a right hand turn lane with the road upgrade.

Chuq's post at the bottom of page 1 of this thread shows a right hand turn lane planned but who knows if or when it will happen
