Supercharger - Everett, WA

[Mrbrock]

Per the submitted drawings, the main service disconnect is supposed to be 1600A.

Based on these calculations that is only 1300kVA.

Maybe some overhead for expansion? It looks like there is room for a 4th cabinet. They were supposed to be place 3 in a row but that is not how they actually placed them.

Landscapers were on-site this afternoon.

I drove by Everett last night. Nothing new to report.

Good, my trip to Quincy is safe, I'd hate to have to add Everett, it's completely across the state

 

[wtlloyd]

Got some great news! Everett will be open as soon as tonight, Friday, according to techs working on the station just now. They said there will be a notification on the navigation screen when it is officially open.
Looking forward to this!

Now if they can just light a fire under the Burlington upgrade.

Figuratively, of course.

WhooHoo! Who's gonna be first? I've been using Northgate and Arlington, as I don't have home charging yet.

 

[Big Earl]

I’ll be down there later this evening to check it out.

It's cheap but I still kinda wish the app said the price vs only in car.

12 stalls, giving full power. No magic dock in sight.

 

[ImScotty]

ChargePoints are 7 kW and free for first two hours. Then $2/hr after that.

 

[Big Earl]

Here with @ImScotty. Stalls 1A and 1D only gave 20 kW, which I presume is a problem with the entire cabinet. 3C working fine.

 

[Big Earl]

Not free. Ended up being $0.35/kWh.

I got charged $16.00

6.6 to be precise, and that's shared; assuming they don't cut the price in half while it's sharing, that's upwards of 61¢/kWh… definitely wouldn't want to stay longer than two hours.

provability of 12 cars charging at 250kw at once is pretty minimal I would say. I feel happy if my car sustains 5 min of 250kw.

This installation might be to leave room for possible future expansion. Regardless of reason I'm glad they made this choice tho

I wonder how many Supercharger Techs they have that christen these stations. If it's just one or two guys that might explain why they open them so slowly and would make sense giving them a drone to take the OFFICIAL photo with, but if it's just any old Tesla employee that can do it that could be a lotta drones in all the technician's toolkits.

Perhaps looking at all the official shots there will always be that ONE car that belong to the official photographer.

EDIT: Looking back at the Tesla Charging Tweets it appears to only be in four that a drone was used and only Western US (here + San Diego, Sutherlin, and one in TX)

I’d think they’d at least have them regionally. Wouldn’t make sense to fly them all over the country since they couldn’t possibly do it all by driving (sites have gone live on the same day on both coasts). Same goes for repair when sites are down and routine maintenance. They are likely based out of the local/regional solar warehouses (Tesla Energy) since it is all electrical work. I have seen the Tesla Energy van doing maintenance at the Napa site a few times.

Charged here the other night at around midnight. One other MY charging. Solid charging curve, price at that time of day was $0.17/kWh
