Supercharger - Eureka, CA (LIVE, 8 V2 stalls)
- Thread starter Zextraterrestrial
- Start date
yep, but there are 2 projects that will straighten out that section and make it 2 lanes with shoulders even
but that part is pretty fun as it is now!last time I went through there it was night and icy in the springtime...extra fun
I really like the bumpy section on the I-5 side where you can get some air and must be a bit careful not to jump into one of the blind corners

I just sent an email to Eureka city hall asking for information and what we could do to help speed along this process. I'd love to have this supercharger up and running by July 2016 for my yearly trip "behind the redwood curtain".

Eureka has shown up on Tesla's own map as a gray 'coming soon' marker, as have Ukiah and Crescent City. It has disappeared from the projected 2015 map however, which I suppose is no surprise as there are only 5 weeks left and they haven't started yet.
There are three permits needed: fire, planning, and building. Fire is listed as APPROVED on 12/2; planning is listed as NOT APPROVED on 12/4; building is still pending (though due 11/30). I can't tell online what the issue is with the planning permit, and I don't know if that is linked to the coastal development permit.
Permit processing update
The Eureka supercharger needs three permit approvals - building, fire, and planning. Building and fire were approved on 11/30/2015 but planning said it was not approved. However, as of January 25th, planning has approved the permit. The information is found at Eureka's eTrakit site. Search for permit number B15-0852. If you scroll to the right and click on the Reviews tab it has the latest information. The permit hasn't been issued yet but hopefully that will happen soon now that the permit has been approved so construction can begin.

Thanks for the info, emupilot. I had no idea Eureka had such a website, and had been thinking about calling the city's planning department to find out what I could. I appreciate what you have dug up. I'm trying to guess whether my X will get here before the supercharger or after.

I drove down to the Bayshore Mall yesterday from my home in Big Lagoon (30 miles north of Eureka) to see if I could tell where these Superchargers were going to go in. I drove through the parking lots and surrounding area from the rear of the Sears building (and entrance to the homeless encampment at the Palco Marsh) to the McDonald's parking lot on the south end of the mall, and I could not find any indication of impending construction or signage about the construction. I asked a Eureka police woman in her K-9 unit vehicle if she knew about the chargers, but she said she hadn't heard about them, but she did know about Teslas. Next time I'm down that way I will check with the mall office to see if I can find out more.

Jim,
You might check with the leasing agent or property manager too. I found (at least here in Fresno) that they are the liaison between Tesla, the property owner and the city, and have up-to-date information.

I went into the Bayshore mall office today to see if I could pinpoint time and location of the chargers. The reception person in the office told me that indeed there was a plan for the chargers to be placed near the Kohl's wing of the mall near the McDonalds. She could not give me a time line. I drove to the area she described and noted that there is a single row immediately adjacent to the road between the Kohl's parking lot and the McDonalds. While driving past, I noted an out of state construction crew with backhoe parked immediately adjacent to the area I think will be used for the superchargers. They were just pulling in, and unfortunately I didn't get to speak with them. I'll check in a few days to see if any work is being done.

Well, no luck on the current construction. I went by the mall today, and there was no activity related to Tesla supercharger construction. I will see if Eureka city planning has any info the next time I'm down there.

As I mentioned in the Crescent City thread, I contacted the supercharger division at Tesla on the recommendation of my delivery specialist (X is coming soon) to inquire about when Eureka and Crescent City superchargers would be open, and received an email reply that said that they were planning to have them open "sometime this summer". I appreciate the information. To quote the Beatles: "It won't be long, yeah."

Well, I'm guessing a May-June start for construction if they are going to finish by the end of summer, but who knows. I intend to go into the mall office the next time I'm in Eureka to see if they will tell me anything.

Anyone visited recently to see if there is any construction? We're planning to go through Eureka in July and the trip will be much simpler with this one open by then...
