Supercharger - Centennial, CO

[MorrisonHiker]

After reading the Lone Tree thread we decided to scout out potential locations for a new Supercharger in the area. Looking at the map, I figured close to Wahoo's or Jason's and Deli and I was right! It's closer to Stickley's Fine Furniture but Jason's Deli and Wahoo's are really close. This is in the Centennial Promenade shopping center which is across County Line from Park Meadows.

12 new v3 Superchargers under construction!

Dang, I went right passed there a couple weekends ago while scouting the area near Rock Bottom, Colorado Casual, and IKEA and did not see anything at the time.

Sounds like us with the Colorado Mills location a few weeks back!

You told me you’d find one around here and you did! Will add on Supercharge Info!!

Are they closing down the Park Meadows ones or are these going to be additional?

They seem oddly close to the park meadows location. Not complaining, because that location is full all the time. But an interesting location choice.

This location isn't in as busy of a spot as the Park Meadows location so it shouldn't back up traffic much, even when full. Also it will be v3 so charges so be faster than at Park Meadows. We were always surprised with the Park Meadows location since it was placed in a lot that was always very busy to begin with.

Good question. The existing location is always busy and is only v2 which pairs Superchargers, slowing charging speeds. This location will be v3 so it should be somewhat faster as there won't be pairing between stalls.

They've already invested in the Park Meadows location and it would cost them to remove it after only 2 years. Maybe they will upgrade it to v3 as well once this new location is up and running. Maybe they will leave it as-is it. Maybe they will totally remove it.

I feel like they will leave park meadows open. The new location across the road would make it significantly less busy. I think it would be a strategic move to have a v3 really close to a v2 that is in the parking lot of a Tesla store. Some potential customers may be turned off by seeing an overcrowded charger when they go for a test drive.

I think maybe the idea is if you have a charger that is consistently 99% used, why would you put one further away? Demand is exceeding supply, so putting one nearby should decrease some of the load. I feel like that second location makes a tons of sense for anyone that's not shopping but is actually on a road trip and PM will remain more of a destination charger

Total agree with that statement, it still offers food etc but not a mall which may bring a little extra traffic.

Also once the new site is up maybe they be able to take it offline and upgrade to V3 as well, for a total of 22 V3 stalls?

We travel frequently to Highlands Ranch near Park Meadows Mall. We stay with family in the area. We first used the "temporary" set of 4 superchargers in the mall parking structure. We were pleased when the 10 better ones opened out in the mall parking lot. However, as others have noted, charging at the mall chargers has become a challenge with so much demand. We will be pleased to see these new chargers completed north of County Line Rd. We will prefer them due to their speed and nearby food choices. Hopefully cars waiting to charge will not be seen at this new site for awhile.

I drove by this evening and there was a crew there wrapping up for the day but I didn't get a chance to talk to them. A lot of the conduit is now installed in the trenches.

Gear from Tesla has arrived but has not yet been uncrated. Looks like right off the chargers will be in one row and then there will be a second row of four chargers.

That should have said “looks like eight of the chargers”.

Given that there are so few other sites in Denver, seems silly to have half the chargers in metro area in these two locations right next to each other. Not complaining because they are a few miles from my house, but seems illogical.

Kind of like how Tesla has three service centers in like a 5 state radius & all three are located less than 30 minutes from each other around the Denver metro area? Nobody ever accused Tesla of making logical decisions based on it's client's needs.

Well when you're doing your best to social distance yourself you end up driving around just go get out of the house.
Work is coming along, all the pedestals are in the ground and conduit ran.

Very excited to have better chargers in this area. Can't get finished soon enough!

Not much progress on these stalls:
