EA's planned Emeryville site is at 4120 San Pablo Blvd while Tesla's permit is for this shopping center, so I think it is very likely to be the supercharger even though there isn't any Tesla equipment to confirm it.

I agree you're probably right on the location. Just be aware this is our standard practice for changing the status in the thread title...we need to see something Tesla-branded on-site to be rock-solid sure. (Even then we can be surprised...as was the case for the cancelled Calabasas Supercharger.)
Oh yeah, a selfie of you wearing a Tesla t-shirt does not count...I mean something like a shipping crate or charging equipment.

If it's a Tesla Supercharger, I would say "better late than never" as this one might be
a new V3 Supercharger and because of the busy location, I doubt to be an Urban Supercharger.
By the way, beside the Palo Alto, Fremont, and Las Vegas, how many V3 Superchargers have been installed so far?

“By the way” is another way of saying “Off topic for this thread but what about...?”
I’ve started a new thread for that topic, the discussion can be continued here Confirmed V3 Superchargers in California
Thank you.

Thank you.
I stopped by this morning and saw a lot of construction equipment and people moving around but did not see anything Tesla related. They have fencing up so you cant see much.
Does anyone know how long do supercharge buildouts normally take?

Whoa! Quick progress.
It is interesting to see the location of the transformers and inverters.
Is it possible at this point to know if there will be some additional Powerwalls like in Santa Rosa?
I wonder if the other side would be reserved for further extension or may be for a CCS type of SuperCharger?

I think the transformer in the first photo was there before construction, and in California it is very rare (one case - Concord - that I know of) for a transformer to be in place before the supercharger construction. There is a pad shown below the garbage enclosure in the first photo which could be for the new transformer. The large cluster of conduits coming up in 4 clumps implies to me that it will be 3 V3 cabinets + switchgear but PowerPack(s) are expected as well for V3 and it's hard to see where that would go.

The nearby San Francisco Bay Bridge is one of the most congested corridor in California, so a V3 Supercharger is certainly without question...
As reference, see some Tweets between Elon Musk (Boring Company) project and BART (San Francisco subway network)

No tesla sign yet, but those cabinets look very similar to the cabinets located in Santa RosaAn update on the construction process.
Agreed. I think V3 chargers are needed more along the rural major interstates stretches (ex. I5 and Hwy 99) than in urban areas. There are many more potential locations for Superchargers locations associated with existing infrastructure in urban/suburban areas. And even an urban SuperCharger helps a commuter top up.

The Alameda Supercharger, which is the closest one, has 12 chargers and is not really easy to access from the freeway, is always full.
So I imagine that this new Emeryville Supercharger will be even more crowded, especially with the number of Model 3 that you can see everywhere.
