Three phases of 480V AC + Neutral wire are the 4 large ones. The 4 smaller ones may be going to a lower powered, secondary feed. Additional might be connection to the grounding or for a signaling wire of some sort. Not sure. But that pad is definitely for the utility transformer.

Hi Jim,
As mocia says, this is definitely a pad for the utility transformer.
The smaller conduits on the left are for the incoming primary cable, for at least 13 kV. The larger conduits to the right are for the secondary cables at 480 volts. They will be going to the main switchgear. The small conduit is for metering.
Above is Lakeland Electric's Pad-Mounted Transformer Installation drawing.
Note 4 referenced on the drawing states:
Install 1" conduit from base of meter socket into secondary window of pad as shown.
All conduit above grade shall be aluminum inside pad window, stub conduit up 12" above final grade and install weatherhead over opening for meter wire leads.

I agree. 7 stalls, all back-in. The westernmost stall has the charger on the side but it is still a back-in.
Thanks for the correction and my sincere apologies to Bucfan. I will remove my posting to avoid further confusion.

Hi Levi,
Thanks for the photos.
Your first photo shows what appears to be the metering conduit going to the concrete post. On the rear of the post, there appears to be an existing meter cabinet, probably for the other transformer. I'm guessing that a new meter cabinet will be mounted on the post for the Supercharger installation.

The meter cabinet has been installed. I received updated photos this morning.

Thanks, did you happen to notice whether the meter was installed in the meter cabinet?

Went by this afternoon, Aug 30. No meter yet. Everything else looks ready.
It looks like there is a meter. This is the same post you can see in post #49. They have added a meter to it.

Wow! City of Lakeland Utilities was busy today. That wasn't there yesterday afternoon. Yay!
Thanks for the last photo.
I'm guessing that it could be operational any day now.

There is a good chance that this Supercharger Station will be energized today.

Went by about 3pm today, all charging stations uncovered but not powered. Tried 2 of them myself, another Tesla tried a third to no avail.
