Supercharger - Castlegar, BC

[PLUS EV]

I’m hoping to use this charge in May. What are the chances it will be open by then?

50/50

Checked again on March 13. Still no visible changes since January 29.

Somewhere between 0 and 100%.

Was through Castlegar on Saturday. No real change to the site other than the snow is all gone. Here are some photo I took while there.

Checked April 3. Still looks identical to January 29, but without snow.

Probability of opening in May has decreased from 50% to 49.9̅%.

Is there a meter installed? Transformer?

 

[clegg]

There is no meter and no transformer. In the pictures above you can see a concrete pad surrounded by yellow bollards currently being used to store some fencing sections. Legend has it that's where the transformer will appear when it appears. I'm no expert but it looks to me like the underground cabling that connects the transformer pad to the grid is not complete.

Would like an update on this one. It's been a while since anyone has posted pictures. With Cranbrook opening, I suspect this one might be closer than it last appeared.

Any update on Castlegar's supercharger?

 

[LectricityBill]

A friend drove by the station yesterday and said there is nothing between the yellow bollards, and the concrete box north of the big white boxes is still above ground.

That highway has been closed since at least October. I know because I got detoured on Halloween. What exactly are they doing that is taking so long?

No that one closed April 19th. I know because it changed while I was on the road. There may have been constriction before but this one is recent as of April 19th

You are correct and that section just outside of golden wont reopen to after the may long weekend. It would be nice if they would get creston or castlgar up and running and i would just take highway 3 into the fraser valley

Booooooooooo, that sure sucks,

I'm hoping that either this site gets opened, or Tesla starts selling the CCS adapter (in North America) before my trip from Vancouver to Trail at the end of May. Back in January I thought the chances of one or both by now were high, Not so much now.

For those who enjoy seeing fresh new pictures showing what the site looks like after the above-mentioned total lack of activity... you're welcome.
