They'll be 72kW urban chargers. Both good and bad.... bad in that they're a bit slower, but good in that it's dedicated power to each charger, so if you know you need to charge 30 minutes every four days or something it'll always be basically 30 minutes (pending high state of charge or super cold battery) and won't leave you having to spend twice as much time because a couple other cars pulled in next to you...

Awww... Tom you beat me too it... Stalls 44 through 54 but they may have also roped off more just for added work area or they may be including some level 2 chargers as well. Additional photos below.
Some level 2's would be awesome! When you can leave your car for a bit or when you're just stopping in for lunch or something and have like 70% charge but ALWAYS charge when you can

You’ve got to be faster!

I actually hope they are all Superchargers useful for Teslas only. I get that there are other electric cars now, but being honest, their manufacturers suck at installing the MOST NECESSARY piece of equipment to make their cars true replacements for ICE vehicles - nationwide chargers.
The non-Tesla charging network - even Electrify America - is legitimately awful and I’m tired of pretending it’s not. Tesla, for all my complaints about them, is the only one doing it right and I refuse to pretend Nissans or Jaguars are useful beyond around-town errands.
Put the fatality on them, Tesla, keep building this network, and bury these dinosaurs.
/Rant Over!!!
Tesla level 2 can be destination chargers though (high powered wall chargers) which only fit Tesla cars.
SOMETIMES Tesla will install a couple with J1772 generic level 2 plugs, but I think that’s mostly to get deals done with business owners or cities.

I'd love to get a HPWC with a j1772 handle so I could daisy chain with a normal one and share my single 50A circuit with two chargers. I have two EVs, one Tesla, one not, so I'm pretty much guaranteed to have to deal with an adapter of some sort.
It's an EP only project so not details on the permit were provided.
Welcome to the Tesla community. A little tip from one North Creek Parkway complex employee to another, there is free charging in the back of the Puget Sound Energy building at the corner of North Creek Parkway N and 120th Ave NE. You need a ChargePoint account but there's not cost to it. I typically get 21 miles of range per hour. There are 4 stalls which are usually all filled up in the morning but after about 2PM there is usually a spot or two open.

Wow, that's very nice of you to tell me. I work on North Creek parkway s, so a bit far to charge and walk back and forth. I looked at the chargepoint map and the station you detailed doesn't show up. There is another chargepoint station right across the street that also doesn't show up, do you know why that is? I assumed since it wasn't on the map it was for employees of the business, and I haven't gone over to ask.
Any help is appreciated!

All the equipment for the downtown Seattle location was left unsecured as well, I visited that site during construction on a Sunday morning and I could have walked away with all of it.
