Shopping down at the Gilroy Crossings shopping center this morning and noticed a team was out surveying and marking the parking lot. Cones set up in the areas they were working in. Now what would they be surveying the parking lot for? This was up by the Target entrance. Hmm. Took a couple of photos.
As I was going to leave the shopping center decided to chat with one of the guys marking the parking lot near a manhole cover. So I asked, "any chance you guys are putting in EV charging?" The guy looked up and smiled and said that's what they were doing. They come in first to mark the area before construction can begin. Then he gives me in my Model 3 a big smile and says "...for Teslas!" and I smile back.
Try as I might can't see any permit info for Gilroy. Not transparent like other cities are. Anyway, this was good enough for me to feel good about posting here. Suspect these will be urban chargers like Morgan Hill's but until we find the permit or see the construction, just a guess.
This shopping center is at the intersection of Hwy 101 and Rt 152 (Pacheo Pass)/10th Street off Camino Arroyo in Gilroy. This will be the second Gilroy SC in the area with the main one at the Gilroy Outlets a bit further north. There are a number of food choices in the shopping center, with a Starbucks (just remodeled) inside Target. Panera, Jersey Mikes, a stand alone Starbucks, Buffalo Wild Wings, Panda Express, Chipolte, Popeyes -- further down from charging but in the same center for a quick bite/drink. If you have a bit longer for dining, Mimi's Bistro, Famous Daves BBQ, and New Tung Kee NoodleHouse are there and across from this shopping center on Camino Arroyo are more dining choices including Chilis.
