Supercharger - Charlton, MA (I-90 eastbound service plaza)

[Nikxice]

Returning this evening from CT to NH, pulled into the Charlton eastbound rest area on a whim. It was easy to spot the recent SC work located at the far southwest corner of the parking lot. Not unexpected, I think most folks were already anticipating this eastbound site to compliment a nearly completed westbound. Including a trailer charging spot, there's perhaps space for 8 pedestals. Took several photos just at sunset. Email also sent to supercharge.info.

This first photo is looking north, towards the MA Pike.

The view towards the east.

Looking south.

Awesome, was totally wondering about eastbound... funny the rest stops are pretty far from each other.

Charlton Eastbound May 7, 2021.
Located right by McDonalds drive thru entrance.

When we drove by on Wednesday May 12th, these were all covered (around noon maybe). That pull in one right by the drive thru entrance is a little puzzling. Not trailer friendly.

Here’s my pic from today, May 16 2021.

Still not operational (I tried) and some AH already tagged the utility boxes. This is a great future addition to the NYC/ Boston route.

crazy that there's already graffiti on one of the cabinets

We have a transformer installed at the eastbound rest stop (but no meter). Unknown westbound. Photo courtesy of my better half as she was on her way through just now.

Yesterday I discovered that Charlton Westbound just got a transformer & meter:

I just dug through all photos I took on Saturday, June 5th, and realize that just the transformer is in my photos of Charlton Westbound, I don't have any of the other 2 sides of the transformer to see if there was a meter installed yet.

As for Charlton Eastbound, I discovered that one of my June 5th pics confirms the meter HAS been installed.

I'll be driving from CT to Cambridge MA back to CT this Thursday evening June 10th, so I'll try and stop by and check in on progress on both Charlton MA eastbound and westbound rest stop Supercharger progress.

Yesterday, June 10, COMING SOON covers.

Unless there are problems, Charlton EAST could be up in an hour+. Tesla just arrived a short time ago from westbound to commission eastbound @tes-s @MarcoRP
