Supercharger - Hartford, CT - Leibert Road

[Montypython]

No change. Rest stop is a ghost town again. No workers there even in the middle of a weekday. This site is going for the record for longest construction time I think!

Stopped by today Monday 1/27 and plugged in just for laughs. I was surprised that the power cord button opened my charge port door. The charge screen came up also but said the "Supercharger stall out of service, Try a different stall" I did try another but no go! At lease they are starting to come alive. Perhaps get full power in a few weeks?

 

[IT Geek]

Maybe sooner than that. Those stalls are numbered...and the fact that you're getting the charge cable to work also indicates that they're ready to go. I've seen them work completely before in the state that they are in right now. So seems like Tesla just needs to "flip the switch" and you should be good to go... Unless..<sigh> they found some issue, which is why they turned them off.

I think someone reported all these Tesla’s stopping by... site fencing is now up blocking access to the supercharger stalls. Sigh...

 

[Tdreamer]

Ok. Only the front entrance is now fenced off. Accessible from the rear. And yes, all the stalls are now numbered and plugging in indeed results in a supercharger our of service message in the car. About time we had some progress at this site

 

[MarcoRP]

Ok. No one go try this Supercharger out for the next 11 days, so then we can say this Supercharger has had its first construction birthday!

I’m thinking this site is actually now completed, but Tesla doesn’t have permission to activate it due to whatever is holding up occupancy at the service plaza. The place is dark and unlit at night (no lights present or at least not turned on) nears the superchargers. I suspect when they get permission to light them up it’s a remote flip from Fremont.

Also worth noting - those stalls were not numbered Saturday morning at 2am when I swung through. And that fence is new since the post earlier this week. So Tesla probably was there over the weekend or Monday morning

Ironic that we are waiting for a gas and hydrogen station to open. They should just open the convenience store anyway. It will get plenty of business from people Supercharging.

Stopped by today, no change, still no lights on the Superchargers.

I chatted with the GM of Pride gas stations and he told me that the city of Hartford and the Hartford Mayors office has been delaying things and putting up a lot of red tape. if it wasn't for these issues the service center would of been done years ago. Pride is ready to hire workers and open the site. I reached out to Mayors office but have yet to hear back. Its been in construction since 2016.

And with that we are at 365 days of construction, this being the longest in the US and North America currently underway. WOOT WOOT!

 

[mcot222]

This is crazy. What kind of red tape is holding this up? Everyone should flood the mayors office asking whats up.

Yeah this is surprising, there have already been chargers installed downtown for some time now.

True for stations currently in construction. Not quite true overall. Incline Village, NV took 448 days to come online.

Why would anyone in Hartford be delaying the opening of a Supercharging and hydrogen fill station when it is so conveniently located across the highway from Harte Nissan, Harte INFINITI, Hartford Toyota Superstore, Liberty Honda, New County Mercedes-Benz and New County BMW. And why can we not by a Tesla in Connecticut. And are these two thing related.

Pretty sure your questions are answered by the guilty parties in the middle of your post...

But how will the Toyota show room Mirai's get charged without a completed hydrogen station?

 

[Montypython]

Not working yet. Seems to be powered up (SC button open charge door) but will not charge. Checked two and no go. There were pride staff there working inside but still in the construction phase.

thinking this one will not open till the pride station does.

FWIW, the Hadley Supercharger (also at a Pride gas station) opened several weeks (months? I forget) before the store.

I noticed the same thing yesterday, Mar 4 2020, it won’t start charging.
