Supercharger - Boulder, CO

[HillCountryFun]

It looks like it was just bad verbiage; the development review cases show that it is planned to be a modified island, as MorrisonHiker previously mentioned. Note that both of these are closed, which I am assuming means they are approved.

Ah, very good, that makes sense and fits MH's info. Very very cool! Can't wait to see some construction going! Thanks again!!

Nice work!! In checking the permit status, it says a letter has been mailed to the applicant. Here is that letter:

If I read that correctly, there’s no real issue, they simply want a complete list of all changes.

Hopefully a quick fix!

Thanks again!!

FYI: The permit for the Boulder Supercharger was (finally) approved on March 8th. Now we just need to wait for the construction to start.

I cruised the parking lot yesterday. I noticed a row in the underground section that already has several J1772 and fast charger cabinets at one end. There seems to be enough parking slots left in the row to put 10 or 12 Tesla stations. Just seems sensible. (Granted, "just seems sensible" appears no longer to be an adequate reason for doing something.)

Since I live in Boulder, the chargers aren't as interesting to me. I thought we were going to get a service center. There was something about it on the website for a while. The fancy new one in Littleton is like an hour away. Anyone hear anything about that?

This is pure speculation on my part, but what about this?

Wow. I don't believe there are a lot of companies that need an "Electric Vehicle Sales and Service Building" aside from Tesla. That would be very convenient.

The location looks like it would be on page 2 of this doc: Block 4, lot 1. http://superiorcolorado.gov/home/showdocument?id=8090

The whole area hasn't been fully built out yet, so it would take a while before the buildings appear.

I noticed the plan is dated October 2016.

More project plans have been posted here (in particular the project narrative). Still doesn't say who the tenant is, but it looks familiar...

Agreed, sure looks like Tesla with the mostly white painted areas and red signage. Also, happy to see the date on this document as March 13, 2018!

Confirmed! It will be Tesla. See New Service & Sales Center: Superior, CO

I also went by the Boulder Supercharger location today and found no evidence of construction.

Some potentially exciting developments...

@BlueShift , it looks like Boulder is under construction! Looks like the coordinates should be updated slightly to 40°01'13.1"N 105°15'25.3"W

Looking forward to this opening up!
