Dang, now you need to move, you have discovered 3 unknown Superchargers in your neighborhood, how many more can there be?

Google Maps, also attached the Apple Maps 3D image, but this one's better.

Gonna be right next to the original DC chargers in the East Bay area, we beelined here when we got our first electric car back in 2015.

12 Stalls

Interesting, I have a couple of green dots on my supercharge.info display for this area (green dots are custom ones that individuals can add themselves) - I can't remember adding them so must have been some time ago - there may have been discussion about this location a long time ago in one of the speculation threads?

I think it was probably from my post in the other Emeryville thread re: information from the city's building dept. saying there was another supercharger in planning for the Public Market complex. See:

(apologies for 3 consecutive posts)

So, since my friend's site visits hadn't turned up anything (see above), I called the Emeryville building dept. to ask about the status and was told some interesting info. I was told that there are actually building permit applications for 2 different Superchargers in Emeryville. The first is for the location we've been recently discussing, and that permit has been approved but not yet actually issued. So, once Tesla is ready to move on it, there shouldn't really be any significant barriers to getting started. Which probably is explanation enough for Emeryville being listed on that sign of local coming soon superchargers.

The second location is for a supercharger in the nearby Public Market complex. That one is still In Review and working its way through that process, not yet approved. I think that location was one of the ones that was originally under discussion in this thread as well, but when we saw a new address in some of the city filings we assumed that it had changed locations. I'm guessing we were wrong and that there were just always 2 applications (either that or the Public Market location was dropped by Tesla without them officially dropping it and just left to indefinitely sit on the back burner. But that wasn't really the sense I got when speaking to the building official). No information on exact siting of that supercharger within the Public Market complex or on the number of stalls was given.

EDIT: here's a pic showing just how close the locations would be (but the green "custom" pin for Public Market is just on the main building, since we don't yet know which parking lot/garage it may go in)

There was! For long we were thinking this would be the location for: Supercharger - Emeryville, CA - Powell Street Plaza (LIVE 28 Mar 2020, 12 V3 stalls)

We had a desert in East Bay for years and now, we are going to have so many stations that SF Tesla Owners would probably come over here to Supercharge...

Actually, this was the first location discussed in the Powell St Supercharger thread. It was also added on Supercharge Info at the time

Yeah, but when the planning documents put out by Emeryville showed the address change to the Powell Street Plaza spot, everyone reasonably assumed that the originally planned Public Market location had been dropped in favor of the new address. In reality, though, the documents were reporting a new spot and Tesla was continuing to work on both. The original Public Market location just got slowed down by that property's development schedule and as a result it took longer.

Yes, there was speculation. But wasn't an EVgo put there which deflated that speculation?

 

[israndy]

That current EVGo charger has been there forever, like I said, went there in 2015 before all this Tesla bruhaha.

I was at the Mission Viejo SpC this week and they have EVGo, Electrify America, and Tesla Supercharging all in one little plot. I would say it was very brand agnostic, but there was nobody there but Tesla owners. Perhaps if they put in a free Volta charger they would have attracted some non-Tesla traffic.

As expected, the stalls are located opposite EVGo charger by the side of the wall. Opposite section is where cabinets are being located.

Great, but I hope there will be some bollards or wheels stops to protect the chargers when backing up!

Transformer? I didn't see one from the video, but it was hard to tell with all the panning and zooming. (Throw in a few lens flares and you'd have a JJ Abrams movie!)

V3 for sure !!!

I counted 12 stalls, which make sense with the 3 cabinets of 1 MW, but why such gap with the last stall on the very left?
May be some future plan for adding more stalls, or for ADA access?

Or may be the building was designed with a back door access, which is currently covered, but there is still a sign on the wall,
and the landlord still want to keep loading access in case a shop might need it in the future?

 

[Watts_Up]

Looking at Google Street View, it seems that the separate stall is for ADA access.
