Those rest areas are often crowded. NH liquor outlets there too. Fairly high risk of ICEing.
The liquor store is at the other end of the lot. There are
lots of spaces much closer to the store, so I wouldn't worry about accidental ICE'ing. Now "screw those 1%'er Tesla owners" intentional ICE'ing may be a different story.
I'll try to remember to take some panoramic shots next week to better show the layout for those not familiar with it.
Anybody know if there'll be CHAdeMO there too, or just SCs?
I didn't think to ask, but I wouldn't necessarily expect them to know - I got the impression the foreman worked for a Tesla subcontractor, and the 2 other guys didn't know anything about it - they were just doing what the foreman and plans said to do. If I can talk to a contractor on site next week I'll ask.
It's a little more complicated than that. Here are a few pictures.
Here is a picture of the bus bars that distribute the power across the frames. This is from the Blanding site with 4 stalls.
It looks like only your first picture worked - the second and third have broken links.
Now those are bus bars! At my first job out of college, I worked (briefly) on a small SIMD mini supercomputer from the 80's (don't remember the brand, but it was a short lived startup) with a monster power supply. 2.5V (I think) at several hundred amps (I don't remember the logic family, but this was back when "high end normal stuff" was 33mHz, 5V CMOS). The copper bus bars it fed were almost as big as my wrists.
I have an early meeting in NH Monday AM, so I'll be heading south early afternoon. I should be able to get some good daylight photos on the southbound side. I'll start packing a real DLSR w/ a long lens in case I can't get close during the workday (I don't want to bother the crew too much)
