8 brown boxes would contain 16 pedestals. They just aren't all installed yet. This would also be consistent with the 4 supercharger cabinets we see onsite, so plans don't seem have changed. The most recent photo shows 5 installed pedestals and one empty base awaiting another, and there are more out of frame. (I see seven in a row in an earlier construction photo, and the site simulation from the city memo from post #61 shows at least 13 in a line.)Is it only 5 stalls? I thought it was supposed to be a 16-stall installation?
From some of the earlier pictures, I counted 8 stalls of conduit and brown boxes for 8 stalls.
Why it is horrid? Do you want it to be $0.42/kWh all the time?Is Chino Hills considered a "metro area"? Will we get those horrid TOU supercharging rates? ($0.42/kWh peak, $0.21/kWh off-peak).
I'm not hopeful, considering the Rancho location has TOU enabled.
Lots of $$$ in those hills so expect the norm.
Some of us don't live in a single-family home, and thus cannot charge at home over night at super-off-peak rates. The local supercharger is a lifeline. Don't forget that this new location is not just for the city of Chino Hills, but rather for all nearby communities in Chino, Pomona, etc, where there are many apartment dwellers like me.Why it is horrid?
How would you feel if your electricity at home was $0.42/kWh, and you had no choice? Non-TOU enabled stations outside of CA metro areas are $0.21/kWh 24/7. There are still some remaining non-TOU locations in CA metro areas, but those are few and far in between. I did like the previous TOU schedule which was 4-9pm peak, the rest off-peak. This allowed me to go charge during the lunch hour or after lunch when there was less crowds.My house used to be $0.06 at night (12 years ago) and now it's $0.17.

Having to go to / sit at the supercharger to charge at off-peak hours (before 10am) is a major inconvenience. Even if the peak ends at 7pm, the superchargers are usually busy until 10-11pm at night at TOU enabled locations, because everyone rushes over in the evening at 7pm. Not having TOU and spreading out the charging load throughout the day is better for everyone.

Saw this gem earlierPH mall is one of the worst as far as evening wait.
PH mall location is the worst supercharger location I've ever been to. Parking lot is hard to navigate (including waiting spots), the number of charging stalls are severely undersized for the demand, and to make it worse, they have the slowest possible superchargers at 72kW!PH mall is one of the worst as far as evening wait.
Yeah, unfortunately that's where I'm expecting it's headed too. The original TOU off-peak rate was $0.25/kWh. So I was surprised when the new rate was only $0.20/kWh (which is now since raised to $0.21/kWh). I think they'll slowly raise the rates so it matches the old off-peak rate, while they also get more $ from the peak rate.I wouldn't be surprised to see $0.50+/kWh in the day and $0.25/kWh at night soon.
I've noticed that as well, watching the little red bubbles on the display during the daytime. There seems to be more open stalls during daytime across all superchargers.Also, what I am seeing since they introduced TOU is the Puente Hills mall chargers have way shorter lines (0 to 2 cars) on weekend afternoons. Seems like most paid SC users are taking advantage of the night rates. Since TOU, I have not waited in line though. Before it was 7+ cars deep waiting in line during the weekends.
