Supercharger - Freeport Maine

[ScotMaine]

Things are moving fast in Freeport! I took the bottom pics this morning, and the top pic this afternoon as I was passing through Freeport twice. The infrastructure is going in fast, but no transformer yet. Great location near LLBean and Jameson Tavern for good eats!

Love the signs.
One pull in (but no room for trailer).

BTW, built in navigation does not yet know that Cross street connects to Howard place. If you were heading south from the supercharger then taking this road can avoid some traffic.

I love all the updates. As the guy who lives about 5 miles from the site I figured I'd be the one to post the most pictures. I did drive by yesterday around noon time. There were cars parked illegally all over the place, the end of parking rows, in front of no parking signs etc. It will be interesting to see what kind of enforcement is in place when charging spots are ICE'd - there is little enforcement of parking rules in other areas.

The thing is, if this is a towable offense, any local towing company will park their truck across the street and these chargers will become a cash cow for them. Nothing educates people and spreads the word like having your car towed. Speaking from experience!

The parking lots are likely private property, the land owner would need to arrange for this service and I doubt LLBean would want to create angry customers.

... I doubt LLBean would want to create angry customers.

Or, potentially, create happy ones.

The fences are down? Can’t blame people for parking until the charger is on line.

Sorry I was not clear - I was not talking at all about the supercharger spots. The point I was trying to make is that the general parking area frequently becomes so full that people park in any place that can fit a car whether it is a designated parking spot or not. I suspect these same people would choose to park in the supercharger spot before they drive up on the curb at the end of a parking row. Regarding towing - I've lived in Freeport for more than a decade, I cannot ever remember seeing a tow truck in a parking lot.

Following - I am a Tesla fan but a current Volt owner...the L2's will be a nice add for me. I'd love to come by if you guys do organize the meetup. This will be a pretty sweet option for me if I ever do get to purchase a Tesla!

At least four people working on site. A lot of ground work still to be done. At this pace maybe done by the end of the week. Don’t know how long it will be for the transformer is installed.

Wow thanks for the pictures
Hard to believe this is happening so close to us.
Lets set a date for "Ribbon Cutting"
I have contact at LL Bean that I could reach out to....

 

[RedSoxFan18]

Construction looks done to me. Took these photos around 2:00 on 10/15. Wonder if an opening date has been set. The fence is still up.

 

[dave4444]

They need to paint some lines, but ya, looks good. I wonder how many people will pay attention to the "Tesla vehicle charing only" signs.

 

[Half Dollar Bill]

This wins the unique design award.

The pedestals need to be numbered, besides the painting.

I will be driving by tomorrow and will plug in if I see lights are on.
