I had found a new project submittal to the City of Fairfield calling for a "Minor Discretionary Review" of a "Tesla Charging Station" but it was ambiguous as to whether it was a supercharger station. Today, an application was filed for building permit BLD17-02121 with the short description "Tesla Supercharging Stations (12)". The location is the Solano Town Center at 1350 Travis Blvd.

This location will surely alleviate pressure on the recently expanded Vacaville Supercharger. Look forward to seeing and using it!

Since I-80 in Fairfield is a parking lot 24/7, this is the perfect place to pull over and charge.

By this logic they should also put one in at Mace Blvd in Davis too.Since I-80 in Fairfield is a parking lot 24/7, this is the perfect place to pull over and charge.

Would be a good excuse to hop off the freeway during rush hour there and just drive through Mace Blvd to cut through traffic if you're heading east.By this logic they should also put one in at Mace Blvd in Davis too.

This is exactly why we have a problem. Lots of people do that and now Mace/frontage road is one big backup and merging everyone back onto the freeway forces even longer backups than if everyone had just stayed on the freeway IMHO.

That makes no sense. You're saying that because people with local knowledge can skirt a potentially longer drive by going on a less traveled road that you're blaming the people for longer commutes once they get back on the freeway? My advice would be to stay in the fast lane if you insist on staying on the freeway rather than taking a shorter route.This is exactly why we have a problem.

From the photo, looks like the location is here: Google Maps (38.26175,-122.0524)
I see a lot of empty parking spaces nearby, so a good location on that metric.

Does Vacaville ever get fully utilized ? I’ve never used it during peak evening traffic but when I have, it’s 3/4th empty . Not that I’m complaining about another SC, though . When I drive towards Sac , the 17” picks Vacaville or Manteca as the default charging options that are always available, if I need some juice to top up . There’s Concord too now, but everything else is at near 100% any time .
Good news! Thanks for posting that photo. Could you tell how many stalls there will be? It looks like not all the pedestals are upright yet.
Done.This thread title needs to be updated.
You are welcome to discuss that in the thread at Supercharger - Vacaville (Expanded in 2017 to 16 total)

Man, how does a supercharger station under construction this long go undetected in California?
