Eight parking spots at the Transit - Main shopping complex in Clarence now have a special designation for a Tesla car charging station. It should be operational with a NYSEG electrical connection in the next two weeks. A source tells us it's a $300,000 dollar investment by the company which is trying to drive up interest in its unique electric vehicles.

Yep, you guessed it!
Apparently, NYSEG is also the reason why about a dozen new Chademo chargers in the lower NY area are still inoperable too!
So, it's not just us!
There's also a new ChaDeMo charger in Ithaca, NY, which has been held up for over a month waiting for NYSEG to hook up power. Everything else is ready, but the station is just sitting there collecting dust because nobody will come out and connect it to the grid.
Since this seems to be a systemic problem all over NY, I wonder if there's any chance we could get the NY State Government to intervene? With so many charging stations being held up for no apparent reason, it really seems like NYSEG is not doing its job. As a government-granted monopoly, the utility companies need to be held accountable for this stuff.
Yes that is the upside of being a utility company, which is to say a regulated monopoly. Who else can provide a 480kVA transformer? Nobody, that's who!
JPW, even if you had a 480kVA transformer available today(assuming that's what is required), likely the holdup is the local distribution grid upgrade/resources to support the increased power draw at that particular location. . . .
You're right, D—I was mainly pointing out the irony of any power-related delay in this, of all locales. As far as delivery capacity, you're right. Luckily it seems that this particular stretch of Transit Road has no lack of capacity. I thought they sited the SC here just because there's a hefty transformer right between the SC and the curb. Must not be appropriate for a direct tie-in, though.
I was told that the order for the transformer was put in last FEBRUARY!
Anyway, at the site, the enclosure around the SC hardware has been completed. The blacktop in front of the SC stalls has been replaced, presumably to allow for new SC spot lines to be laid down. Still no Transformer. Interesting that the SC stall closest to the enclosure looks a bit on the tight side. Guess it depends how they draw the lines.
Not tight at all, imagine the sign as the center of the parking spot rather than the SC enclosure.
