Filing for Supercharger at the HEB on 5000 Gattis School Road in Hutto, TX. Similar description to the Abbott Supercharger but with half the sq ft.

very nice - maybe this means they are starting to look at add more to 130 now as well as 35

Tesla is already directing us to go around Austin when traveling on I-35 (e.g. DFW to San Antonio or back), based on a recent trip. This will be the icing on the cake.

P.S. The I-35 supercharger in Austin is one of the worst locations in all of the supercharger network. Whoever put it there was clueless about Texas and Austin.

Agreed. And lot of construction leading to that road too. And it is not 150KW either. We really need Cedar park SC to be up and running.. like yesterday.

No love for Highland Mall? It's a good central location with 2222/290 crossing I-35

A little more information on this one from the Permit filed with the city of Hutto:

Description
Electric vehicle charging station with 1600 amp electrical service.

I imagine there will be many GigaFactory employees living within 5 miles of this one. It's a busy lot and convenient for I130 traffic.

Possible movement?

Possible movement?

Nothing Tesla-specific but it's the correct host, the power lines run along the road there, that looks like a pile of conduit piping and it's the kind of sub-prime parking area they'd want to put them.

@MarcoRP or @Chuq can you move the pin to the highlighted area of the site?

 

[Electroman]

Sub-prime parking area? It is right in front of the gas station and HEB. How close can you get to a big store like HEB ? Worried it might get iced.

Precisely, it's not where people would choose to park If they were either going to the Express or the main grocery store, so it won't get ICEd.
It's a good sign for it being the new Supercharger.

Looks like construction to me. The second photo shows the conduit popping up spaced at car-parking-space intervals. I didn't think to count them! There were more than photographed.

Evidence of Tesla now. The hardware was being unloaded while I was there.

I counted 12 stalls. (Supercharge.info had guessed 8)

I wonder how long these will take to install, any why they aren't using the prefabricated ones like Round Rock. RR took about 4.5 weeks to fully install for reference, so we will see.

If this sign is correct, I would guess they're pushing to be opened before April fools.

Why not prefab? Around the middle of the strip is an electrical switch box of some sort, perhaps associated with the gas station, and it looks like that space will need to be skipped. Maybe the prefab units wouldn't be able to work around that spot.

 

[Twiglett]

side note - Round Rock wasn't built with prefab units.
A good example of the prefab units are the main 8 stalls at Kyle or the (not public) installation at GigaTexas.
The upside is that they got Round Rock built really quickly without those

Thru @MarcoRP post in Del Valle, came across the same person update on Hutto.
