Supercharger - King of Prussia, PA

[NickFie]

Do remember that a large set of supercharges is quite a load on a local substation. And the expanded mall I am sure is already stressing the feeders to that area. PECO may need to plan how to feed this thing. (20 stalls = 10 superchargers at 130KW each (once at DC) so expect 140KW at AC, thats a 1.4MW feed, which is a healthy load on a substation. All depends on how much capacity is left on the feeders to that area.

There’s plenty of power near the mall. Honking big substation near the theater complex. GE Space Systems was based near the mall decades ago. Suspect some of their work demanded a lot of juice. Now Martin Marietta I think.

Yes, but that substation isn't near the garages discussed, you'd still need to run/bury power line a long way, across/under several roads, etc.

Anyone notice this on supercharge.info?

Yeh, that was when the "rumor" of the property management guy saying this was happening in the orange garage surfaced. Then it came out this isn't really the case. It needs to be deleted, IMHO.

Ah, thanks. I was wondering who populated this item.

20+ urban chargers coming to thousand oaks mall in Cali.. Wonder if Kop would consider anything like this?

20+ Urban Superchargers being Installed at Thousand Oaks Mall • r/teslamotors

As a Southern California Tesla S owner and a former resident of Delaware County, I beg you NOT to look at the Supercharger already in operation in Baker, CA (halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas on I15. Don't want you to have a heart attack.. Bob

anyone else find it odd with the lack of movement with superchargers in the area?? Starting to see the ramp of Model 3's on the road.

Yes/No. From what little I know, PECO is a HUGE pain in the ass to work with.

odd or unexpected? No.
annoying or sad? Yes

Must be PECO/local gov. A third Delaware SC popped up 'out of the blue' while we were all speculating about KOP.

Location: Junction 495/95

Devon is delivering 10 3's a day... But so is every other service center I bet.

This is right on the border of Delaware and PA. Almost too obvious that Tesla put it there because of PECO.

Might need some sort of advocacy group...I realize CA is Tesla dense but PA is ranked #6 in US population. I count 15 in the whole state, not counting the "coming soon" which is ridiculous.

Tell me about it! Not good going upstate and not being able to make it back to Bloomberg. Had to detour to Erwin, NY after visiting Cherry Springs State Park. Nice drive though, and appreciate Dunkin Donuts hosting the chargers. Good coffee at least.

There was only one in PA when I got my car in 2015. Even though progress is slower than what I would like, there still has been significant progress.

I agree, hopefully we get the latest versions with plenty of spots. The first few will be swamped.

It's intersting that the Tesla map shows a SC in Plymouth Meeting planned for this year but there is nothing on supercharge.info yet.

There won’t be until an actual building permit is granted.

Tesla's map is just a hazy vision of what they hope might come. The locations and timelines are completely in dreamland.

Supercharge.info only puts dots up when conclusive proof is found for the supercharger. In this case though 'proof' was mistaken, so the dot should really be taken down.
