Drove by here yesterday. There is active construction going on in the dirt lot circled below. Very early on, just moving dirt and digging footings, but could be related.
I also know the economic director cited in the minutes above. I’ll connect with him and see if there are any more recent updates.

My guess is that's for the car wash which was also mentioned as coming to the shopping center. But it certainly could be for the superchargers, especially if this is going to be a big station. My base expectation is for a station of 12-16 stalls, which isn't large enough to need a lot that size, but I could be wrong. The list of things I would ask the director about are: # of stalls, location of chargers in the center, and whether they've already applied for or been issued a building permit.

The construction I noted is indeed the car wash. I have a note out to the economic director asking about the supercharger status.

Can’t go wrong putting a Supercharger near a Taco Bell. Only way to charge up and get gas at the same time.

Mark Hamilton, the city’s economic director says:
So. Who knows? On Tesla’s timeline I guess, but the permit is issued. I drive by this center almost daily, so will keep an eye out.

For reference, “in front of little Caesar’s” is circled in red. The approx location of the existing EVgo chargers in the same lot is circled in yellow.

Just swung through. Looks like ground is marked for underground work. Looks like 8-12 spots at the far west of the lot against Montgomery Lake Way closest to the businesses.
Unrelated but the Chevy dealer next door is getting a corvette delivery (1? All?). Pretty good wrap job on those for delivery.

The new Tesla map update shows Chowchilla with an opening target of Q2 2022 (not sure if it was on there before or what date it might have had). I personally tend to read their target dates as which quarter to hope construction actually starts in, as opposed to when the site opens. But if they intend to hit their target, construction may have to start soon-ish.

It was all marked up in December so maybe someone driving on 99 can stop by and see if any fencing is up. Should take all of 2 minutes to exit 99, drive through the parking lot and get back on.

Looks like these will be pull in spots as far away from the curb as they are. Which means straight spots compared to the angled ones as currently striped.
