Supercharger - Iowa City, IA

[bsancken]

Stalls going in! Needs wire pulled, transformer and meter. (The green transformer is existing for gas station)

I do have to say I am disappointed in the layout of this one with respect to future Cybertruck/Trailer use...

I’m moving into a new house about two miles from here. While I’ll have my wall connector at home, this will be convenient to run over to if I need a quicker charge.

I live near this new supercharging location and shop at this HyVee regularly. I’m terms of the parking lot location, this part is rarely/never occupied by ICE vehicles, as there is ample parking in front of the convenient store(15-20 spaces). It is a dead end part of the lot, and trailers/pull through won’t be ideal. It’s approximately 2 min off the exit and much more accessible than the one in Coralville.

The wires, from the Tesla equipment, appear to be pulled to transformer pad. I think the transformer must not be too far away if they pulled the wires to the pad. Too optimistic? Workers still on site today.

One things for sure this layout will confuse the crap out of owners

 

[GabeIA]

They’ve slowed down progress wise

So close... Today workers were finishing wiring to the chargers. Also the signs have been put up, the landscaping looks better, and the site over all looks cleaned up a bit.

Was the fence down or just opened, I see all the way through to the store front.

The fence along Dodge St was still up and some along the side near the store. I think some or most of the surplus building supplies have been moved. I wouldn't be surprised if all the fence is all gone by this weekend.

Fence still up and in need of a transformer

 

[IMGreen]

Doesn’t look like any progress has been made in the last week…

 

[Coulombic]

The transformer has landed! Meter set is visible but no meter in place yet. The fence is still up.

 

[IMGreen]

Taken this morning too. Transformer has been installed.

 

[GabeIA]

Just in need of a meter! Exciting

 

[oliphant428]

How soon could this realistically be up and running?

Theoretically this week Needs a meter and commissioning. Don’t hold me to that.

Fingers crossed for me too. I’m moving to the east side from North Liberty later this week and it would be great to have this up and running while I manage to get my Wall Connector installed at the new house.

 

[Coulombic]

Two Mid-American utility trucks on site today as well as what looked like a large generator(I think). Maybe as a backup for the gas station and store during the connection process? Either way it's still progress.

 

[GabeIA]

Not done, went at night for a dead giveaway. No pictures necessary.

 

[IMGreen]

Looks like the meter is installed now. Fences are still in place.
