Supercharger - Corio (Geelong), Vic

[Chuq]

Interesting looking at the shapes of the slabs on the far right. It looks like two of one size/shape and then another one (at the back) which is a different shape. Originally I would have expected 3x identical ones (3x V2 supercharger cabinets to feed 6x stalls). It could be 2x V3 supercharger cabinets feeding 6x stalls (with the rear one being something else).

When will it be finished? Tesla says Q2 but they’ve changed before.

When will it be finished? Tesla says Q2 but they’ve changed before.

That's the only estimate we have.

The way construction is going it could be done in weeks. But some sites are switched on immediately, while others sit in a near complete state for months (presumably upstream power issues)

Is the next person to visit (maybe @Rexjamo ?) able to get a closer photo of the footings of the cabinets? To confirm this theory:

Which I've also discussed here: Superchargers in Australia

Should be V3 you would think given Colac looks like V3 with the white cabinet in the latest update in the Colac SC thread, See this las Vegas V3 video with same cabinets.

Took a pic today, hopefully helps those of you in the know about the progress.

From the photo above it's looking very much like 6 supercharger stalls (single, double, double, single-out of picture), 2 x V3 cabinets (2 squares upper left) and a switchboard cabinet (bottom left).

Well, all depending on the electricity distributor.

is that you working on it? Tesla owners thank you for your service!

Do you know if the same team is building other supercharger sites in Vic, such as the ones in Colac or maybe Warrnambool?

 

[Chenkers]

I called in on Wednesday. Not much more progress apart from the wheel stops. They look ready to turn on but that all depends on the electrical connection.

I also called in on Colac but no real change there. It will be great when that's on as winter trips to Warrnambool along the Princess Hwy are a real pain right now.

Thanks for the updates. Hadn't checked on this thread in a month or so and there's been a massive amount of progress! This charger will make trips to/from the Great Ocean Road a lot easier.

Went past last night, obviously waiting for power connection, no change from last Friday at all.
