Nope. It’s in the birch street parking structure closer to Ralph’s

What are they building next to the EA chargers then?

@RFM3_2018 mentioned that the Superchargers are in the parking structure behind Ralphs (at the end of Birch Street), @capitanmikey's post above provides a link to the details of the Tesla Installation.

(Which reminds me that I need to swing by and see if they have started construction yet)

The source link also has the charging layout and tesla agreements.

I check every two weeks since it's on my running path; and so far, nothing

Looks like they are going up at the Brea Mall after all . There’s pictures up on the Orange County Tesla Facebook page.

Can you post a link for us to see?

You have to be a member, but I went by and confirmed they are definitely Tesla Chargers. Right across from Red Lobster in the Brea Mall parking lot.

I knew I wasn’t crazy. Saw them from the 57 fwy. I’ll drive by tomorrow and post pictures. Glad someone didn’t shrug me off as crazy.

Thanks for the pics! Must have changed the location recently because all docs and plans mentioned the parking structure. Decent location but Brea mall will suck during holidays

glad they’re not urban!

I like that this location is much closer to the freeway.

I guess the deal with the city was never executed. The parking structure is owned by the City of Brea whereas Brea Mall is owned by SImon Properties.

Ahoy!
Recently checked Brea's Minutes and Agenda notes and found out the City just approved 24 supercharging stations + 24 Level 2 EV Charging Stations.

Expected start date of construction: February 2021
Expected completion date: Summer 2021

Woo! We're one step closer!

So, I just reread this. There is no signature and nothing with an ACTUAL approval, just two RECOMMENDATIONS for approvals. Have you seen anything with the formal approval?

In light of the construction going on at Brea Mall, I wonder of the Madrona/Birch St location is still viable? I would be surprised if they put in two locations in Brea at about the same time; this isn't Irvine after all

ETA: I am not "challenging" your post at all - I really appreciate that you found that. I've tried searching the city's site and can't find anything Tesla related.

Stopped by the construction site today, there are 11 Tesla super chargers right next to the 4 Electrify America chargers. This lot is furthest from the mall entrance, so the parking will be okay most of the year.

Yes, the agreement was formally approved by the Brea City Council at their October 6, 2020 meeting. The link in the comment from @capitanmikey that you were replying to is to the relevant agenda package for the Tesla agreement from that meeting. The minutes of the meeting aren't available on Brea's site, but they do have a link to the video of the meeting and you can watch the relevant part of that here if you want. The Tesla agreement was approved as part of the consent calendar, so it's not explicitly discussed or mentioned on its own.

Thanks - that satisfies that question.

SO: are they going to have two locations in Brea?

Almost assuredly, yes. The new discovery of the construction at the Brea Mall is only new to us. The agreement with the city went before the council at the beginning of October 2020, but Tesla would have been planning the mall location well before that date. Maybe it will change their project timelines some but I doubt it has any effect beyond that.

Starting this thread as a placeholder target to move the relevant posts from the other Brea supercharger location thread which is for the supercharger in the city owned garage.
