They are planning to 12 V3s, based on permits filed after the charger was removed

That's impressive!! Currently on supercharge.info, it says that this one is only 8 stalls. Should this be changed to 32 stalls now or should we wait until it opens?

Miromar Outlets Estero photo update as of 3-5-22. Very impressive.

 

[alvarig1263]

We can revise this location down to 16 V3 stalls. Walked the site today and 32 spaces have been set aside here but 16 will be V3 superchargers and it appears 16 will be Tesla Level 2 destination chargers.

Why do destination chargers make sense here?

Its an outlet mall with many shops and restaurants so could be nice for people while they visit.

I wonder if the destination chargers will be free?

I have never been charged to use a Destination Charger, nor have I seen one capable of billing, so this is likely being offered as a courtesy by Miromar Outlets.

Gives non-Teslas a chance to be able to charge some, too, as these have J1772 plugs. Not as useful as fast chargers, but nice nonetheless.

Interesting, I was unaware that Tesla had Level 2 chargers with J1772 plugs, at least in the US. A first step towards Tesla charging for cars with CCS plugs?

No, they've had them for a while. I think originally it grew out of their Destination and Workplace Charging programs, where they were providing the EVSE hardware to people for free and people wanted to have some J1772 options alongside the Tesla plugs. So Tesla started making some units with the J1772 plug. They then started installing them alongside some supercharger stations where site hosts wanted non-Tesla charging options included in the supercharger install.
