Supercharger - Emeryville, CA - Powell Street Plaza (LIVE 28 Mar 2020, 12 V3 stalls)

[kmishra9]

Emeryville Supercharger is finally live and operational!! It took a loooooong time but East Bay is officially having it's own supercharger! (If we do not consider Alameda as one)

Can you confirm that its V3?

 

[israndy]

Yes it is, but it's still not official as 4 stations are not powered and have been taped off and it still is not in the Tesla Nav display

 

[kmishra9]

Excellent. I would not at all be surprised if they were just waiting to bring the Berkeley and El Cerrito superchargers (which seem to be nearly complete as well) online all at once. "Surprise -- here's a bunch of new superchargers in the Bay Area. - Love, Tesla" for a bit more oomph than bringing them on one at a time.

I'm sure the pandemic has also slowed progress from a sheer availability of labor standpoint as well, but that's true of practically everything :/

This has been added to the Tesla "find us" map, and interestingly enough it has been added as a new pin labelled "Emeryville CA, Powell Street Plaza". There is still a generic grey pin "Emeryville, CA" which suggests there might be a second location planned?

Excellent. I would not at all be surprised if they were just waiting to bring the Berkeley and El Cerrito superchargers ... online all at once.

I was just at Berkeley and they have no transformer. My friend Pedram who started that thread told me El Cerrito was also not as ready as all that. Oakland at least has a transformer, though the finishing construction is much behind the other two, still fenced, still open trenches.

Yep. My comment was basically obselete as soon as Chuq posted it was active on the official Tesla map

Decided to stop by the Emeryville Superchargers earlier today to top off and well was the only one charging up until I about finished.

There were no roped off chargers but I'm hazarding a guess that the 4 roped off previously still isn't working. The black Model 3 that stopped by right a minute before I finished (Hi if you're on this forum btw), asked me if the chargers were opened and I said yes and she parked near the freeway end and plugged in. By the time I exited the parking lot passing the chargers, it seemed she moved closer to where I was charging previously.

Nonetheless, it's a wonderful addition. Eagerly waiting for the one at El Cerrito Plaza and the one at the Pacific East Mall to open.

Cheers!

Yes, very likely. I commented about the likelihood of a second Emeryville supercharger in July of last year with some info supporting it directly from the Emeryville building dept

After a little over 2 years of ownership, it is nice to see the east Bay getting it's share of superchargers. 880, 580 and 680 corridors are getting nicely filled in.

Charged at 219 kW/hr today

I forgot about that, though the supercharge.info historical data lines up with that ... co-ords were changed a couple of times early on! Obviously it was thought the new location was instead of the old one! I’m on mobile device so can’t check at the moment..

And for those that didn't notice, this charger is now in Tesla Nav display, so between that and the FindUs web page it's officially open

It seems far from the Alameda charger (next to my house) but shows as the next closest. It says 6.2 miles, but I guess that's as the crow flys. I thought the Hayward one was closer, or faster to get to, but perhaps not. Oakland will open soon and then that will be my closest alternative.

And here are the older locations (marked with green dots) in case anyone wants to follow up on them...

I noticed that only 8 of the 12 chargers are available? Any reason?

 

[israndy]

Perhaps they opened it with those remaining 4 not working that were taped off when I visited before the official opening. A bigger issue with those and they decided to open the rest of them, or have then not always shown as down?

The 12 chargers are now available, the map inside the car was showing previously that one charger was out of order.

Charged here today and pulled about 170 kW at 39% SOC which seems about normal. 11 of 12 stalls were occupied. This looks like an area prone to icing but today even though the shopping center was super busy it looked like everyone was respecting the posted signs.

 

[israndy]

That's already a busy place. Good thing the second Supercharger is coming online:

Supercharger - Emeryville, CA - Emeryville Public Market (under construction, 12 V3 stalls)

Tried it out Saturday around 6pm. That location is super busy but no ICEing. Can be cumbersome to back in as everyone else is driving around looking for a parking spot/trying to get out.
