Supercharger - Gloucester, MA

Very helpful to those not familiar with the area. Thank you.
All of the things has been driving me crazy is that for the most part you only find Tesla fast chargers and very few other ones.
Most of the L2 chargers are rather slow (mine is 11kW), which has caused us to not drive our Teslas up to New England when heading in the direction of Gloucester.
It’s nice to see the Tesla chargers less than a mile of the road from my wife’s mothers house.

Looks like a pre-cast transformer form was delivered Friday and they finished preparing the bollards. I assume we'll see a concrete poor next week and then backfilling, followed by pedestal and supercharger cabinet installation.
Wow! They are moving forward at a nice pace. I wonder how long it takes to do the electrical work and hook to grid? Thanks for the update.
Lots of variables, but with an eight stall site like this might take might take a few days to install the pedestals and perhaps another 2-3 days to wire them. Getting a transformer delivered and connected is a huge variable - this can take a very long time, although times seem to be shorting a bit recently.
For this site they also still need to extend the trench to the existing utility feed on the corner of the building across an active driveway. Not sure when that will happen - they may be waiting until the project end to allow delivery traffic to be routed over the first half of the trench.
Best guess - end of July to end of August for this site to go live.
Sounds like I’ll be charging on L2 when visiting in July. Might catch it live on our September visit. I’m looking forward to seeing the site when I arrive in July. Be well.
Site looks like it's been cleaned up and probably ready for the concrete pour. I came in last night - the last picture shows they finished work around the forms and backfilled the site today.

Progress as of Saturday 7/15/22. All 8 stations in. Concrete poured. Looks like next step is attaching electrical equipment.
A few additional photos from today - didn't see your post until after I visited on my way up. The other significant work done this week was the completion of the trench for the conduit that will feed the transformer - didn't expect this to have been done yet.
