Supercharger - Carlsbad, CA - Paseo Del Norte (LIVE 17 Aug 2021, 16 V3 stalls)

IMHO the premium outlets is a bad location since the lot is always packed. The chargers will be ICED unless security does something about it.

El Camino Mall would be better since only half the mall is busy and plenty of parking space.
If only we could snap our fingers and make El Camino Mall sign that lease agreement... :) Of course, the challenge of locating cooperative SC sites is all about finding that willing site host...I think it will work out okay here...
 
Do we think there will be issues with this location being closed at night for the off-peak 50% rates? I know from past experiences driving by around 8-9pm the lots are gated. Hopefully it isn't the case. I would have preferred the mall on El Camino as well. Way more space and also gives people travelling on the 5 or 78 access to a charger between San Clemente, San Marcos (soon) and the original Carlsbad SC.

Notes on how to get in after hours from the EVgo station on Plugshare in the same area of the parking lot:
As of May 1, 2020, please call security number (listed on signage) to gain access to chargers. An additional gate is open (near Starbucks) from the hours of 10 am and 8 pm for the restaurants that are continuing to operate.
EVgo Fast Chargers are located in the lot closest to flower field parking by Rubios. For 24/7 access the shopping center has an entrance with a monument sign "Carlsbad Premium Outlets - Deliveries" off of Paseo del Norte. Customers need to call security number (listed on signage) to gain access to the EV chargers.

Ah ok... that makes it kind of inconvenient to have to call and wait for someone to let you in. Hopefully they change that when the SC opens since I'm sure the security guards will be annoyed with having to open the gate every 5-10 minutes to let someone in or out throughout the night. I'd imagine the volume of cars going in and out of the lot to charge after hours will significantly increase from what they're currently dealing with for the EVgo customers.
 
Drove through the parking lot on my way to Costco and noticed that there were only 14 posts up (from what I was able to count at least; hopefully they have two more coming). Construction is progressing and it’s starting to come together though so that’s a good sign.

I'd guess the last two spots will be ADA spots that need a bit more work. You can see a hole in the ground in your first pic, wouldn't be surprised to see an ADA post go there.
