Supercharger - Detroit, MI

[FMinMI]

New fencing is going up, a worker has confirmed that 8 v4 stalls are being installed. They will not be pull through. He says it will take quite a while before they are active.

This is amazing news for the busiest supercharger in the State!

In the same Meijers lot? Or is this a new location?

Same lot, one row of parking over

Stopped by almost 2 weeks ago and it was busy! One car waited almost 15 minutes at the non-tesla chargers!
Really wish they would put one in Royal Oak or Troy.

I agree, but I am sure it was cheaper to just add more stalls to this Meijer's 'contract' versus finding a new site...

Besides some cleanup and powering on, these look ready to go!

Nice! Hope this reduces the congestion at this location, although I fear it might get worse with non-Tesla users getting the green light to start using them. Lots of Ford EVs in this area.

Do the cords look long enough for non-Tesla vehicles? The picture looks like they are short...

Those are V4 pedestals, which have significantly longer cables than previous versions to accommodate the Cybertruck and other non-Tesla vehicles. With a lot of new EVs being built with NACS plugs, I have to assume there's coordination when it comes to cable lengths and charge port locations.

The cable length is good, however, if you look at the first units from the left. The attachment point is top right. IMO it would make a lot more sense to have to have it top left, essentially centered in the parking spot to reach easier to vehicles with plugs on the front driver side like the F-150 or Mach-E.

Ford has one of the worst charge cable locations of any EV for NACS.
