Supercharger - Boulder, CO

[HillCountryFun]

That is awesome everyone!! Thanks for the update and thanks for the updated coordinates, I just updated Supercharge.info! Looking forward to this site opening up as well!!

Here’s the approximate location of the perimeter fencing I photographed this morning.

So it is in-between the Garbanzos and Trader Joes.. Interesting.. Hopefully it won't get ICEd too much!

The Trader Joe’s parking lot can get really crowded so I would predict some ICEing, but on the positive side, it’s a very convenient spot with many good coffee, food and shopping options within walking distance. It also has one of the better views of the flatirons and mountains.

Yeah, on the weekends this spot will be a Zoo. I hope that they have made arrangements with the mall security people to keep an eye on it.

More pics of construction site from this morning (2018-04-01 around 1000). It looks like a section of the lot is dug up and there's also a spot where a curb has been removed.

It's immediately next to Vitamin Shoppe between that and Trader Joe's. A lot easier to access than I expected but I share the same concern about parking here at busy times. Hope they plan on signing and enforcing charging here.

I also went by this evening and took more photos, sorry for the overlap.

Just for fun, since I needed the plot for another forum, Boulder Supercharger Station to Silverthorne Supercharger Station via Rocky Mountain National Park:

I could do that trip in my S60.

Well, May through October.

Well, May through October.

Yes, it would be a seasonal road trip, as is also the case for Independence Pass and Guanella Pass.

Perhaps by the time the Boulder Supercharger Station is opened, Trail Ridge Road will be plowed out.

I was by today and they are pouring concrete!

Weekend Update, can’t tell if these are 120KW or 72KW Superchargers. No one working but it is Sunday AM.

I stopped by today and it looks about the same as in your photos.. Seems like they are working on the conduit between the different parts and moving dirt still.

I am surprised that the Supercharge Cabs (the white boxes?) are so far away from what looks like the Utility stuff (the big dark grey one). I am thinking the actual stalls will be inbetween them. Also no transformer is present yet, but it seems like that won't happen till the project is almost done.

Update from this weekend.

Oooo, lookie! The charging stations are up! Only seven of them though. But if you look at the second image, there's pipes coming out of the ground where an eighth station might be emplaced. The pipes to the transformer are there, but the pad has not been poured. Pictures taken after hours Friday.

Progress.

 

[HillCountryFun]

Very cool!! That curb around the transformer pad location is also new...

Thanks for going by today, I was hoping someone would be able to run by the site!

Spoke with the contractor today. He said that there will be 10 stalls. And he estimated that the chargers will be fully complete and available to charge in 5-6 weeks. I took a few more photos showing similar progress to that captured by evp yesterday. Exciting!!

That's interesting. There didn't seem to be that much room in the two rows they've worked on so far -- the power cabinets and transformer looked like they were sucking up more space than the original design. But the "before" picture from Google maps clearly shows 4 stalls in one row and 6 in the other. Guess I'll have to go take another look.

According to the contractor, two of the ten stalls will be along the eastern side, not in the same rows as the others. So, I guess for the northeastern-most spot, you will have to nose in. None of the spots will be pull through, so not ideal for those traveling with trailers.
