I just drove by today. It is completed!
The only thing is that HLP is waiting for the deposit check to start service. I joked that many people here would donate to the cause!
The interesting thing is that the pull in spot (nearest in the picture) is 4B instead of 1A like it usually is.

Still no meter though (was there 30 minutes ago, apparently just before you)I just drove by today. It is completed!

I was hoping to be one of the first 10 users, but am stuck working in Florida for a while. Can someone explain the purpose of a pull-in charger space. The only reason that comes to mind is a Tesla pulling a trailer. SC cable appears long enough at a standard space to accommodate a bike rack.
@Rossa Rod - Did you read what I wrote? HLP is waiting for a check from Tesla as a deposit for the service. That is why there is no meter.

I was doing most of the"stalking" at Hooksett back in the day (I was commuting back and forth several times per week). I was at the northbound site a few hours after they broke ground
I asked the guy in charge if this was the rumored Tesla Supercharger and he confirmed. I asked if I could take pictures and he said sure, just don't take pictures of anyone's faces.
The guys working on these know we're all a little nuts. They're used to it by now.
I wonder how many other site's connection delays are utility delays vs Tesla AP delays (getting it the deposit).

How about a GoFundMe campaign?
I think it's classified as a socially acceptable form of mental illness.
I'm familiar with HL&P from living in Stow for 8 years.
I see they are still not very solar-friendly; that's a shame. They still have a 20kW DC limit, no net metering (At the time, I bought from them @ $0.14/kWh, and sold excess production at $0.05/kWh), no PPA's/leased systems allowed (solar must be customer owned - no cash/no credit? No solar for you!). Plus they denied my $5000 rebate application because the Suneye analysis showed that my neighbor's maple cast 15 minutes of shade (4:45-5pm) during the last 2 weeks of August. Nevermind they had a huge (and growing) rebate fund that they couldn't get rid of (then $350k). But I got in under SREC-I, so the payback was still ridiculously short (5-6 years).
On the plus side, they had great customer service, cheap rates (at least a nickle lower than Eversource) and solid, stable power (few outages, and the ones they had were short), which is great when you're on a well. But if you had solar, at the time you'd do way better (financially) on Eversource.
The first time I read their annual report, I had a "WTF?!?"/NIMBY moment when they listed "Nuclear Fuel" under assets and I envisioned a pile of fuel rods stacked at the plant on Cherry St. Then I remembered they owned a share of Seabrook, so that asset was safely tucked away (hopefully) up there.

Notice high voltage charging cabinets don't have a protective fence. Maybe permit for operation is contingent on this barrier.
