Between this location, and the one down the road at Culver Crossing, this area gonna be well covered!

 

[MarcoRP]

Permit issued. Construction may have started

Confirmed construction underway! V3 chargers on second floor. This is a paid parking structure.

I see 7 pedestals but only 5 spots marked on the ground currently. Will post a few more pics in a bit.

More pics. This isn't a great spot for a charger IMO -- it's right at the bend in a tiny structure, Teslas pulling into the spots will back up traffic flow on a very small tight corner for everyone getting to higher levels of the structure.

All these SC’s coming into Culver City make me wonder why. CC is kind of an island, surrounded by Los Angeles. CC gets electricity from Edison, while LA has LADWP. Is it easier for Tesla to deal with CC & Edison than LA & LADWP?

Prob demand. Media & entertainment workers who drive a lot of Teslas.

Is parking expensive?

I would be inclined to agree, to a certain extent. Far more of them live further west, especially Santa Monica. Which is notoriously difficult to deal with.

Still super-excited about this supercharger, about a mile from my home.

$2 for first hour, goes up $1 for each additional hour. I think that went to like 5-6 hours, forget exact max.

I’m thinking of the M&E cos nearby and all the mid-day and after work charging that must go on. It’s great to see the platoon of chargers slated to come online in that area. Shows they’re prepping for the oncoming deluge of Teslas that will land this holiday season

I stopped by last weekend. Three of the pedestals appear to be in, with three other spaces almost ready to go. There are two destination chargers on the opposite wall. Looks like there will be six SC spaces.

I agree that the access is not ideal, and with the much larger Culver Crossing location only 1/2 mile away, I would expect this location to be used mostly by the terminally hip Platform clientele.

Has anyone been to this site recently I believe it should be energized pretty soon.

Elon Musk on several occasions has stated that by the end of 2021 all superchargers will be powered by renewable sources. Just wondering?

 

[Limited]

Open! @bmah @MarcoRP @corywright

 

[Misterbee]

"Parking Fees apply". Definitely geared towards the Platform shoppers, as opposed to en route charging.

 

[corywright]

It also says "Limited Hours" but doesn't specify which hours it's open. We'll update that on supercharge.info once someone can provide an official schedule of when this site is open and closed.

I live down the street and this is part of the Platform retail complex in Culver City. Hours have typically been 7am-10pm daily.

aside from the parking fees this supercharger seems to be free
