No. He said by the end of 2017; that's a year and three quarters. And no hint whether he meant stalls or sites.

"Thank you for your email. This site is expected to break ground in the next couple weeks. Once construction begins a station typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete."

Stalls, IMHO. They had the numbers at the 3 unveil (I forget what they were), but the number they had definitely didn't coincide with the number of sites.
Sorry, I should have double checked the reveal video before posting to avoid incorrect info per Supercharger expansion plans.
The reveal indicated 3,608 current Superchargers, so that's clearly stalls not sites. Makes sense to focus on stalls, since most of the other DC fast chargers (CHAdeMO, etc) tend to be one or two stalls per site, while Tesla's average is closer to 6, and appears to be trending upward.
Glad to hear that Laurel's expected to break ground within a few weeks! That's great news. Coming from the North to DC for a day trip has been a little tight without hitting Montgomery Mall, which is NOT an ideal place to top up.

Maybe I missed it, but how did you hear that Laurel will be starting soon? Definitely needed, and I'd like to dream that the Harrisburg crew will move down the road once they finish up (soon). Do we know that all the permits have been approved (again sorry if that's been posted somewhere and I didn't catch it).
Here are photos from the Laurel Supercharger site. Miss Utility has paid a visit.
The red markings closest to the camera is where the cabinets will be. The stalls will be along the west side of the garage on the other side of the brick wall.

Doh. Can't believe I missed that. Thanks. This + subsequent pictures are very good news indeed.

Thanks for the photos Lanny. Have the stall locations been marked? Are they located on the lower or upper deck? Do you have an opinion on the likelihood of ICE'ing due to the location near the movie theater?
Eight pull-in stalls are proposed to go along this wall on the ground level. The cabinets will go in the corner on the other side of where the car is in this photo.
I do have some concern over ICEing because it can get crowded on popular movie nights. I think the pull-in stalls may help to signal that people should not just park there.

Thanks for the extra info Lanny. For what it's worth I think your assessment of pull in charging stalls is correct and should inhibit ICE'ing in most cases.

I hope the pull in stalls help, but it doesn't take popular movies for this garage to fill up on weekends; it serves a lot more than just the movie theater. I fear that ICE'ing will be a significant problem most weekends.

The west side is the side closest to the movie theater, right? The opposite side would have had a much lower chance of ICEing on movie nights.
I don't come here more than every month or two, but I've never seen this lot full during the day on a weekend, not even just before Christmas. There are lots on the other side of the stores that would be closer to the front entrances. Anyway, hopefully you guys are right and pull-in stalls help convey the fact that these spots have a specific purpose.

The pull-in configuration should eliminate most of the accidental ICEing. It won't eliminate ICEing by those that only care about themselves. I suspect the parking signs will reveal 4 tesla only spots and 4 general parking spots, which won't help.
