Supercharger - Goleta, CA (LIVE 6 May 2020, 12 V3 stalls)

[smartypnz]

Doesn't work

Side note, it made the local news

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Going Up in Goleta

You can see in their photo the big space between the chargers at the ADA ramp. Which looks different today. Their photo is probably a week or so old, it shows the rusty posts that were replaced by the pained black Tesla Only posts.

Fake News

There have been whole other threads on this. Pretty certain I recall that you won't get fined if you're EITHER a charging ev OR handicapped

In California, a disabled-only parking spot requires specific indications to be legally enforceable. The inclusion of the minimum fine $250 language seems to indicate an intent to make the space enforceable, so I wouldn't risk it. But if the only marking in the stall itself is "EV PARKING ONLY" rather than a wheelchair symbol it may not technically be fully up to snuff: Law section

Anyway, if nobody is lookin and its packed the next tezla gon charge handicap or not. however courtesy gtfo would be proper if a true handicap came along

 

[chriscasti]

also the only point of handicap is easy access to nearby business. so after hours, gfys handicap sign

 

[chriscasti]

unless of course it is packed and a true handicap came along xD

 

[Nosken]

Some SC stations have signs that say “ use last"

First layer of asphalt down. It’s a local company doing it, looks like they are taking lunch, I’ll bet they finish the asphalt this afternoon.

 

[88911cs]

Asphalt is done, you can drive right up to the chargers if you like.

I suspect that they will resurface at least part of the lot, but they could just re-stripe it. They’ve not finished fencing in the equipment and were not here today, they being Ambient.

 

[chriscasti]

Hopefully they cover the rest of the parking lot in this area, cuz it is cracked and beat to hell. The project is pretty much complete.

Fresh smell of asphalt. Lines still need to be painted and there were a few landscaping guys power washing and cleaning up around the cabinets.

Was that you eating your lunch in the parking lot? Water bottle or something on top of your car?

Very cool thanks for TE picture too!!

 

[chriscasti]

Stopped by again. All they achieved today was measuring where all the lines will be painted. this week is a good week to close out this project.

I picked up lunch there. Didn’t eat there tho. I had the white M3 parked by where the police car stalls are.

I was in a blue 525I taking the same picture you took. Couldn't upload it for some reason. There was a guy standing outside his Tesla watching me drive in and out of the chargers, thought that might have been you.

 

[Gray468]

Any sign of the bumpers? You know, to keep us from backing into the charger in our zeal to finally have this thing functional? Feels like another week of messing around and inspecting is likely....

 

[chriscasti]

the stalls will be between the chargers. you will just destroy your car on the curb

 

[88911cs]

Well, it’s striped. My interpretation is that two of them are ADA only.

No progress on the fencing, Ambient has not been here for a couple of days. Maybe waiting on inspection. I think inspection is being done virtually at the moment, so who knows.

@TerranApart, 1500KVA

The ADA spot away from the chargers has a fine specified on it. And it’s odd that there is only one sign at the two spots at the chargers.

Your interpretation makes sense to me, but strange they didn't put a handicap metal sign on the other pole.

The one on the right was probably supposed to be an unmarked "standard-accessible" space, which needs to be flat, but doesn't need extra room reserved for van unloading. One such space is generally required in addition to the van-accessible space, but only needs to be marked with an ISA if there are over 25 chargers (see page 36 here: https://www.dgs.ca.gov/-/media/Divi...hash=C9929A80D195299DF7FB1C3B78A589824305C79E)
