Supercharger - Etobicoke ON

[mknox]

Drove by on the 11th... islands are being poured!
You can see the forms in the picture.

Haven't been by in a couple of weeks. Could you tell what the alignment looks like? Is it going to be a back-to-back configuration like Kingston? The row didn't seem nearly as long as the 20-stall site in Barrie looks to my eye.

Progress. Workers on site today. I'm not sure what all the tall poles are about.

Solar canopy!!

Solar canopy!!

Was thinking the same thing, and it could very well be that.

poles are most likely like Markham - protection for the utility transformer and switching gear

I don't think so... not that many and not that high. Utility protection is usually afforded protection by 4' high concrete filled bollards around the transformer.

The poles at Markham site are just as high, see my latest picture in that thread.
Workers at Markham site reportedly said no solar canopy ... even though I was the first to make that guess ... my hopes dashed.

Maybe they are installing an enclosure.

 

[Avronp]

no question, its an enclosure - not sure why that was not done at Concord site

 

[Doug_G]

Probably site owner preference. Some don’t mind if the boxes are visible, others want them hidden. Part of the negotiations with Tesla prior to installation, no doubt.

Clearly you haven't been following the Markham Supercharger thread. @Drone Flyer knows why I'm getting at him.

Find the 4 types of energy:

• Electric car
• High-powered charger
• Power lines
• (best of all) Porta-Potty

 

[SmartElectric]

One of these is an inexhaustible fuel supply.
