I don’t know occupancy info but the 8 V3 stalls in Patterson are pulling about 600 kW peak. It isn’t the busiest station (Patterson) in terms of occupancy that I’ve seen relative to 8 stalls but multiply this times 7 and you’ll start to get a rough idea of what Firebaugh might see on a monthly basis: probably over 4 MW demand on the busier months.

It hasn't been updated by community members in a year, but I suppose this would be the only source for that information (the top 10 on a 24 hour basis, and network-wide total): Top 10 Superchargers based on Tesla screen at Kettleman City and other locations
Typically the sites with the highest capacity and in most need of additional supercharging capacity have the highest utilization, then once another supercharger is built it drops as a result of shared local capacity.
I remember saying that the very first time someone mentioned the name Firebaugh to me. A client of mine decided to sell a commercial property in Firebaugh proper (where these maps are showing located about 30 min. off the freeway). Lived in CA all my life, and that was the first and only time I've ever stopped in Firebaugh.
But, about a year or two later, I heard the name Firebaugh mentioned again. This time on national TV.....when the Buffalo Bills selected Josh Allen with the number 1 pick in 2018. Absolutely amazing how someone from a small farm town like Firebaugh is now a top QB in the NFL.

During last week's Bills/Raiders game they put up a picture of Josh Allen from high school wearing a Firebaugh t-shirt. I did a double take on that!

My high school was in the same division as Firebaugh. This was many many years ago, but they had a great football program and regularly beat the tar out of us.
To avoid moderator side-eye, anyone, uh, have some recent progress pictures of the new supercharger?

If you zoom in on the most recent photos, you will be able to see the underside of solar panels and some of their associated hardware.

That sounds wrong xD Anyways, I hope they cover those up soon... It's pretty indecent to leave exposed solar panels around like that!
I would really like to see the rating on that utility transformer. That above ground connection to the distribution cabinet looks pretty beefy too. I had previously speculated that this site might use two 2500KVA utility transformers. That does not appear to be the case.
That’s what I would have assumed too: either two 2000 kVA or two 2500 kVA transformers and not a single one. Is it possible the other transformer is somewhere outside of view of the pictures taken?
For Taco Bell fans (I’m not one of them), there’s a new one going in next to the Superchargers

Baker was also build mostly on the dirt lot adjacent to the existing business.
Supercharger - Baker, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2017, 40 stalls)
Yeah, I've seen several built around the world on non-paved lots over the years. Sometimes they come in afterwards and pave. At least a few are still unpaved.
