Supercharger - Hillsboro, OR

[Doanster1]

Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but Tanasbourne is just too busy of an area IMO. The North Plains/Banks exit would’ve been perfect. Would dramatically lower convenience charging use and still be great for coast trips.

Update as of 3:00 PM today. I counted 11 pedestals in the ground already. This place is going to be hopping, I think. So many Teslas around here.

There should be 12 Superchargers and two ChargePoint pedestals with 2 cords each. If it is like the ones at a Target in CA I saw the ChargePoints will be free. Not super important for my Model S (unless I will be shopping for several hours). But it will be nice for my wife’s Chevy Bolt.

Yeah, I was voting for one exit further West (Cornelius Pass) in the back of the Freddy’s parking lot close to Panda Express.

You need to put them places with amenities (food, shopping, bathrooms), so that was the last exit you could do it at (though brookwood is developing now too).

But I think a lot of the use case for this one will be folks charging that don’t have charging at home (apartments), so the use case is a bit different.

I will take it as-is though! There is nothing that stops them from adding more later!!!

Brookwood really being developed out. Would’ve been perfect - charge car and get some hot laps in at K1 Speed!
Only downside is that too many “computer company” folks would max out the stalls. Lol.

Pedestals down, pipes in. No electrical equipment on site.

The site is almost clear now. Only 2 large cardboard box are on site. Looks like those are parking wheel stops but I'm not sure. No worker on site mid-day. Looks like we are waiting for charging equipment to be arrive.

Two stalls are up.

I'm happy to see that three V3 superchargers were delivered as well. Thanks for the informative update!

This was posted on the local FB page an hour ago. Making some serious progress!

That was QUICK!
My pictures with just two stalls installed was from yesterday 12pm. They installed the rest in one afternoon it seems.

That's awesome. Makes me very hopeful that these ones will be done fairly soon. *Fingers crossed*

 

[mtf16]

3 cabinets seem to be on site. Again, fingers crossed for something green showing up soon.

 

[Ml007]

From an hour or so ago. Great progress, for sure.

They were poring concrete for cabinets. Parking stops are in place. Tesla charging only sign posts are up. No sign of transformer yet.

Couple more photos from the Portland Tesla FB Page. These were taken just a couple hours ago.

It's great to see it coming along. I wonder why it doesn't show up on Tesla's map?

Given how loose Tesla sometimes is with where they put the pins in their map, the Portland or the Portland-NW pin could easily be representing Hillsboro.

This is what I assumed too. It sure isn't getting installed in the middle of the Lief Erikson trail like Tesla's map shows. Unless there's an EV quad trail in the middle of forest park that I don't know about...
