Supercharger - Concord, NH

[Tdreamer]

A new 8 stall supercharger (plus 4 L2's) has been proposed within a new development to be built off of Exit 13 off on Route 93 (Manchester ST) in Concord, NH.

The approximate location looks to be about 30 Manchester St, Concord NH. It looks like it will be situated near a proposed gas station / convenience store right near the entrance to the development. Looking at google maps street view, there are already a ton of digsafe markings on the street.

The superchargers appear in the attached site plan in Lot 2 (page 1) with detailed location on page 5.

Given there is at least one business still open at the site, it's not clear when (or if) this will proceed. It could be soon, but I don't really know.

WTH! No more new SC in NH till North Conway is done! This is crap!

 

[DrDabbles]

Yeah, I absolutely don't get this at all. You've got Hooksett, Tilton, Ashland. Nothing around the lakes, nothing on the leaf peeping routes, and if you vacation in Northern NH you better have an ICE vehicle to drive. Unless the gas station is going to own these and is just installing them as part of an investment in the property.

 

[Tdreamer]

It's likely the timing of this being done is related to doing the work as part of the initial project development vs. as an add-on to an existing location. Beyond that, hard to saw how Tesla prioritizes site construction order.

I-93, US-3, and US-202.

This is a place they should be, and this seems like a new opportunity.

Yeah, but, this is a second I93 location, <8 miles north of the existing one (Hooksett), which is why people think it doesn't make much sense.

I'd much rather see a location further north. I still need the Lyndon/St J location to make winter road trips to Coos county viable.

Just think of this a pin for 2023.
It's still very much in the planning stages.

Not sure that it's 4 L2. The plan just says "Universal". Could mean CCS/CHAdeMO.

Thanks for this additional info. A little birdie suggested this was a near-term target for construction to start, but all the info here and the fact that the restaurant at the location where this supercharger is proposed is still open suggests otherwise.

Certainly possible.

 

[DrDabbles]

If it's L2, that makes much more sense with the living community being located there. If it's DCFC, having CCS located there makes even more sense.

@Chuq @corywright @MarcoRP @tes-s Is there a reason why there is no blue dot for this site?

Not really, no

We usually wait for a permit.

We usually wait for a permit.

There are lots of blue dots on the map which are based on much less than this site, for example: Meredith, Newton, Tyngsborough.

Stopped by this location this evening… still nothing happening. Maybe someday this project will happen.

But… I stopped by the original location on the way to…. 1 Whitney Rd, Concord NH which is the address of a mobile station. Behind it is a new development under construction called Merchants Way. The new address will be 11 Merchants Rd when done. Supermarket, NH State Liquor Store and…. A 12 stall V3 Tesla Supercharger which is already under construction by our regional expert Gordon Construction!

@tes-s @MarcoRP @corywright can you please put this on the map and mark it as under construction! Location as indicates in the map photo.

 

[Tdreamer]

The new location is about 13 miles north of the previously identified site.

Transformer already in??!! This one could be quick.

There were two similar sized transformers on pads with a meter box on one as pictured. There was one additional empty pad next to the two transformers - about the same size, maybe a bit smaller. I didn't see pads for the supercharger cabinets and switchgear, so it's possible these utilities were for the building(s) and they've not yet done the ones for the Tesla equipment. But yes, it could be quick. Not sure if they would open before the buildings are finished/occupied or not. Those look likely to be spring/summer '22 targets.
