Supercharger - Brooklyn, NY

Drove by today and saw people working on it. Agree that target parking lot would have made more sense but at least there’s finally going to be a Supercharger in South Brooklyn after years of delays

Finally! But still think we need another one at Target regardless & hopefully Gateway (more far east of Brooklyn) too. Seeing too many Tesla in Southern Brooklyn recently, don't think 8 stalls in enough to fill the supply of Teslas we have here. Hoping for another one in between somewhere around Kings Plaza - Marine Park area or by the mobil station right on Belt Parkway.
 
Yea they chose probably the worst spot in the parking lot. Lots of cars entering and leaving the Starbucks drive thru.View attachment 907833

Take another look
It’s kinda the only place they could put it
They probably wouldn’t want them near the creek
There’s no real room at the far end of the isle for anything but stalls

That island near the corner is perfect for the the additional equipment

Yes I know they could trench and run to the far end from the island but that would take up and tear up an inordinate amount of the lot
plus skyrocket the cost

At least that’s how it looks to me

Tesla find us does show an additional station coming to Brooklyn NY by the end of the year but gives no details as to where. Hoping it's at either of those Targets off the belt

Especially when Tesla plans to open up their Superchargers to other EVs & articles recently stating "NYC, an EV charging desert" which I agree, 8 stalls is not enough supply, I really hope they continue their expansion not just in Coney Island.
 
Looks like the Starbucks parking lot which is really disappointing. The Target parking made a lot more sense.
Even though the Target lot looks appealing, remember, it’s a PITA to get back on the Belt Parkway west bound from that shopping center. You have drive up to Cropsey Ave along Bay Parkway and go around the block. There is no legal left turn onto the west bound Belt from Bay Parkway.
 
As of yesterday morning, 10 chargers closer to raymour & flannigan and 2 chargers closer to Starbucks were installed. There are clearly 4 additional chargers to install (Starbucks side) based on concrete work, pipework, and Tesla supercharger sign holders. In addition if you check permit you will see it was updated from 8 to 16 chargers.
