Supercharger - Cape May, NJ

[mociaf9]

As of 5/21 not operational. They are deceiving- you can plug into your car but there’s no juice.

The fact that the car's nav didn't show it as an operational supercharger should be sufficient protection against anyone feeling deceived. But, just in case you needed a bit more, with this style of supercharger you can tell whether they are powered or not just by looking at the "TESLA" logo. If it's illuminated, then there's power. Unlit means no juice.

Looks like the light posts are still not installed. Also, not sure if anyone has confirmed if they have seen the transformer and meter.

Once those 3 things are in place, it should be close to going live.

Barnegat opened yesterday so maybe the Tesla engineer is in town to get CMCH next.

Any updates on this? Seemed like it was pretty close to going live.

As of today it really appears complete, but still no power. Perhaps it's just waiting for connection by AC Electric.

Stopped by today and still not active. Must be final inspection issues?
Everything is in place

Still no go as of tonight

That's frustrating. When I checked it out on Memorial Day weekend, I felt sure they'd be operational within 2 weeks at most - it doesn't look like there's much or anything left for them to do.

Well, no one has yet taken a picture showing that the utility transformer is in place. Nor that the electrical meter has been installed. So, it's hard to tell whether everything is actually done or not.

For anyone in the area that wants to check and confirm whether it's there or not, the pad for the transformer is behind the line of white supercharger cabinets when you look at them from the charging stalls. The transformer will look like a big green box (like this). Or, if it's still not there, you'll see an empty, squarish concrete pad (see the second picture in this post to see which pad I'm talking about).

It can take weeks or even months to certify depending on inspections. I’ll be heading by next week, regardless, and will look for the requisite parts.

The transformer and all Tesla cabinets were installed three weeks ago. The meter is not installed as of today. Talked to an Atlantic Electric tech guy yesterday and he said the final is held up at township pending on inspection.

The Mayor of Middle Township says they have no role in the matter and it's between the supermarket and Tesla.

Would you ask the mayor when will the inspection take place? It sounded like mayor is saying the inspection has already passed

Why would you expect the mayor to have any clue? S/He isn't involved. You've got to talk to the building department. And they'll likely just say, "We don't give out that information."

It’s a small town. Mayor most likely knew what’s going on. The fact mayor knew who is holding the ball is good bet the mayor is on top of this. I may stop by the supermarket and ask the management about the status.

Hopefully this is ready by Saturday.

Typical of most NJ townships and municipalities. Doesn’t surprise the amount of red tape that goes across local and state government offices.

Your tax dollars working hard. Don’t be surprised if it takes few weeks.

You are absolutely correct!
Called Middle town zoning office today. They are essentially “waiting” for electrical contractor’s inspection report??? Not sure who the contractor is. I didn’t want to ask him too many questions. It sure felt like retarded process.

Middle Township inspection scheduled for Tues. 6/18 per Mayor.
