Trenching? At this stage that seems very odd. Now I really want to know what happened during this install!

Wonder no more: supercharge.info tracks that (scroll down to bottom). In short, this site isn't even in the top ten of sites with long construction times. But it's up there!

Any indication what has been agreed in order to resolve the problems? Anyone able to tell by the trenching work if they did end up moving the transformer to the other end to resolve the concern around visibility for cars entering/leaving the lot, ref @JPWhite post from Aug '23?
Really just curiosity on my part. I know it won't to be operational when I'm through the area the next couple weekends. It will be a nice addition for me personally when I visit family in the Hendersonville area. I've been running over Dickerson Pike site some point during my visit and this will much more convenient.

No idea where the transformer will go, we'll find out soon enough when they pour the slab for it.

The transformer slab has been poured. Trenching is complete. Its just a question of finishing the build and hooking everything up prior to the transformer arrival.

The Transformer is installed and the crew are finishing up the electrical install today. Spoke with the crew chief. Final inspection this week with commissioning to follow. All that is left to do is pressure washing and repainting the parking bays, he has a company lined up to do cosmetic work. They are hauling off all equipment and supplies this week. The electrical crew are off to Georgia tomorrow. We might see this site live before the end of February. This site certainly was a case of wait and hurry up.
Sounds like it will be really tight, but curious if I might get lucky and it be on-line by Friday end of the business day. Will be coming back through the area on the way back to Indiana, and be a good chance to add another “dot” to my map of visited superchargers. If not, will need to wait until the next time I’m in Hendersonville visiting family there.
@JPWhite - thanks for your updates on the site during the elongated process.

I went by today and there was a trailer with what looked like a replacement transformer. If they are swapping the transformer that will make Friday less likely. I'll go by tomorrow to see how it looks. The cosmetics of restriping the bay bays has yet to be done. Depends when that crew is lined up to do that work. The landscaping is already finished.
It looks like there were 7 stalls installed as of this morning. On supercharge.info it lists this site as 12 stalls. Is there any chance another 5 get installed or was this reduction related to the delay?

Went by this morning. The NES truck and crew are still at the site. Clearly something is up with the transformer install. Maybe it takes a while to commision it. Two days seems like a long time.
We have cracked the top ten! Hopefully for not much longer…

The transformer is energized, makes a satisfying buzzing noise, its rated at 750 KVA. Parking bays are stripped and finished. We even get some nice looking trash cans. Waiting for commissioning. Could be any day now.
This is clearly a seven stall site. Maybe now is the time to update the supercharge.info numbers? @Big Earl @corywright

Drove by today and saw that the yellow caution tape is still up. I also noticed two stalls don't have a charge cable. If you look closely at my last photos you'll see two stalls sans charging cable. I suppose we'll have to wait for Tesla to supply the missing charging cables prior to turning up the station.

I see Hendersonville NC did beat us to opening first. They opened earlier this month and got the 12 stalls originally planned. EV Dave will have somewhere close to home to charge at.

Called by Saturday and two stalls are still missing their charging cables. This site is fated.

Took a closer look today. The two stalls that are missing their cables have had the cables cut off. My best guess is that this is theft or vandalism that occured while the equipment was onsite for over a year. There was a period of time when the fencing was not secure. Goodness.
