Supercharger - Las Vegas, NV

[Lump]

Palazzo valet has been awesome charging the car but I will stop by Superbowl weekend just to add it to my SC visited list.

Came across this Gizmodo article about Project 100. Includes a picture of the Las Vegas supercharger under construction.

Cool. That's the right place. I drove by this evening. These guys are always there. They must be close but I can't get close enough to tell.

Tesla Service Center has been a good place to charge on this CES trip. Looking forward to using the SC when I'm in Vegas again in April.

I stopped by the site at lunch. Most of the crew is gone and it looks like they're getting down to brass tacks. They look like they could be ready to go very quickly after getting an inspection and NV Energy starting up the service. Here are some pictures.

Is it just me but using a supercharger indoors makes a whole lot of sense.

I presume sitting in your car in the sun for 30 mins would use your climate control somewhat?

How many charging bays will there be at this Las Vegas supercharger? I can never completely tell by the pictures alone.

My guess would be that the supercharger is here
Carl's Jr.more info‎
1522 West Charleston Boulevard
Las Vegas, NV 89102
(702) 384-5511
This location is close to the I-15 and most of the deals in the West are made with Carl's Jr to place chargers.

There's nothing going in there that I know of. The SC under construction in Las Vegas is at 701 East Bridger downtown.

From what I see from the picture that must be the location on 701 Bridger Ave. The stairways seems to be the ones from the building S 8th Street. LV is very hot in summer and having the chargers in the shade is great.

The Carl's Jr connection is with the Arizona franchisee company, MJKL Enterprises, LLC. Not sure if Nevada is in their region. I know Calif is not.

The stairs are for the apartments to the north.

Your regular photo updates have been great! Thank you! Watching a supercharger installation from beginning to end is awesome and only with pictures is the story told so vividly well. We can read about updating this or that but it is the pictures that "bring it home!" Thank for taking the time out of your day to keep us all photographically updated!

Happy to do it. Hopefully next week I'll have pictures of cars charging.

This is the first location where they finally decided to place bullards to protect their equipment! I'm glad they finally decided to do this.

I noticed that too. This may also be the first site to have everything in exposed conduit instead of being buried. The Savannah installation is also in a parking structure, but they cut through the concrete floor and buried the conduits in the dirt below. This installation in Vegas is on a middle floor, so they either didn't want to or were not allowed to violate the concrete structure.

 

[Martini]

So, what's the code for those exposed conduits? Do they protect them with curbs?

Thought I'd quickly share my experience going to and from Las Vegas in a 60.

tl;dr - it's easy.

Left Orange County with ~202.
Arrived in Barstow with ~97 (actual distance 102 miles, rated range used: 105).
Left Barstow with ~200, arrived in Vegas with ~39 (actual distance 157, rated range used: 159).
Left Vegas with 198, arrived in Barstow with ~43 (actual distance 157, rated range used: 155).

Didn't drive super fast, but not super slow either - typical speed in the 68-72 range, with slight decreases on steep grades. Minor AC usage, mostly just pulling in fresh air as the weather was nice.

Would definitely do this again, feel comfortable driving a good bit faster next time and still having plenty of range. The 60 is a great road trip car.

Trips to Vegas in the future will be way easier with the SC, can't wait! Thanks again for the updates Darmok.

Thanks for this. Just bought a P85 and was sceptical about range from OC to LV and back.

This puts my mind at ease
