Supercharger - Lansing, MI

Nice photo. The site has been cleaned up quite a bit since my visit last week. I didn't see a transformer in your photo.

Thanks Jim! They've got the transformers inside that wall structure. This pic from August 11 shows that a little better. Big electrical trucks were there today... Rain seemed to slow progress down though.

Unfortunately, these wall structures only contain the Supercharger cabinets (white boxes) and electrical switchgear (gray boxes). The transformer will be installed nearby, probably where those dark PVC pipes on the right are coming out of the ground...

Oh, then I can see that they are installing that today, exactly where you suggested.

Today the transformer was installed. Getting closer!

Took stuff up to my son to move into his house for school (MSU) and stayed at the Hyatt. One thing I noticed while looking around is that from the transformer to the other large green box in the upper left hand corner there is a number of very thick electrical cables that will need to be buried. At least a couple hundred yards of trenching. The other green box is in the upper left and has some orange temporary fencing right by it. In the top picture it also has the large white electric company by it.

Stall lines painted, signage put up, and today the wire was buried. I suspect it's pretty close...

Thanks for the update. Can't wait for this to open.

Any news since Wednesday? I have trip to Muskegon happening this weekend, and would like to know whether Lansing will be operational - otherwise I'll have to go a different way.

I would be checking supercharge.info up until the last day to decide on the route

Pictures from today. Still fenced off, but everything looks to be in place.

Fence is coming down right now and shipping container is gone.

Here it is tonight! (note the celebration rainbow in the background)

 

[Haymaker]

Sweet!! Gotta love the celebration rainbow. I think the Tesla folks come in and put the decals on next then fire it up. Thanks again for the updates.

Sweet! I put my order in 3 weeks ago today, wonder which one will arrive first, the car or this station being operational.

My Advisor is on PTO this week, not too hopeful for next week delivery "but never know".

 

[torqaholic]

Looking good! So commissioning by Tesla is still outstanding, which will make this impossible for operation by this Friday morning, correct?

 

[ilovemycoffee]

Sweet! Maybe you guys can get some state lawmakers come help celebrate the opening!

 

[outdoors]

Can't wait. Maybe Michigan Senator Joe Hune could drop by with his thumb drive of relevant emails to hand off to opposing counsel....as requested by Judge Carmody.

Any commissioning activity spotted yet?

No activity since Tuesday, minus a few people that have attempted to charge and have been unable to.
