And they’re actually installing Superchargers. Wowza!!Good news. Looks like construction has begun!

Wow, I wouldn't have thought they'd go through with putting one there.
Guess Wenatchee and Chelan won't be getting a Supercharger since there only 31 and 18 miles respectively away.
I guess I'll have to use the bathroom down the road, since the adjacent Shell stations bathrooms aren't the best.
So far they have 8 concrete bases for the stalls. Too early to tell which version. V3 would be my guess.So is it going to be an (8) stall V2 charger?
So is it going to be an (8) stall V2 charger?
The service from the utility generally does not equal 250 x stall count. Tesla presumes that not everyone will plug in simultaneously and not everyone will be at 1% SOC. So yeah, having the utility feed undersized like that is fairly normal. As (excluding the most extreme of circumstances) it won't ever matter.So I'm no power engineer, but the permit says installation of (1) 1200 Amp Service. If we assume 480V 3-phase service comes in to the supercharger site, that would result in approx. an Apparent Power of 997.66 kVA.
So if each V3 supercharger station can provide a peak output of (250kVA) x (8 stations), would need 2000 kVA for the entire supercharger site (assuming 100% efficiency of AC to DC conversion, which isn't really possible).
So I'm betting on eight V2 stations unless they bring more power into the site, or I don't understand this correctly.
Any Electrical types out there want to confirm this?
Same reason as a Ballard ?Is there any reason to believe this will be v2? I’d bet pretty heavily on v3.
The problem is your assumption that V3 can provide 250kW to all stalls simultaneously. With a standard V3 installation of one cabinet for every four stalls, it simply can't do that. A V3 cabinet has a max continuous AC input rating of 350kVA@480V or 430A. A 1200A service is more than sufficient to supply two V3 cabinets.So I'm no power engineer, but the permit says installation of (1) 1200 Amp Service.

Per MotorTrend article:
V3 Superchargers get 250 kW each, all the time, so how busy a Supercharger station is will have no effect on your charging speed.
Per Tesla website:
Supercharger stations with V3’s new power electronics are designed to enable any owner to charge at the full power their battery can take – no more splitting power with a vehicle in the stall next to you.
So I'm sticking with eight V2 chargers, unless Tesla's is only going to install four V3's, or until someone provides an "engineering answer".
Ok. You're wrong about how V3 works. It's very unlikely that Entiat will be a V2 supercharger and the sizing of the electrical service isn't evidence to the contrary.So I'm sticking with eight V2 chargers, unless Tesla's is only going to install four V3's, or until someone provides an "engineering answer".
