Supercharger - Leavenworth, WA

[Kuhz]

If they put one in around Omak/Okanagan there will be no need for Wenatchee for a while. That would serve pretty much the whole N. Central WA and up I to Canada via 97

Took my Model S over for the weekend to escape the Seattle rain and they had all hands on deck working the new SC site on Saturday. It would be brilliant to have the SC's operational before 4th of July holiday, but I have seen where new sites look completed and fully operational but sit for another 3-6 weeks waiting for ?? before they go live. It's a great location, just on the way in/out of town and easy to walk the town or down to river while topping up. Could be a serious cluster [email protected]#$ getting in/out with how busy Hwy 2 can be on the weekend and holidays. Leavenworth has always been a gamble for EV's with only a few Level 2's and a single CHAdeMO.

Thanks for the update. Pic doesn’t show up though

Pic attempt#2 looks better!

Thanks. Working on a Saturday means they want to get these operational ASAP. Looks like the conduits are already buried and pads poured? Waiting for the charger cabinets to be installed?

Yes, and I would agree!

Saw this before I headed back home today.

Saw this before I headed back home today.

counted 15 posts for the red "TESLA CHARGING" signs. hopefully at least 1 or 2 pull foward stalls for trailers/bike racks...

12 in monroe, 16 (maybe) in leaveworth?! wow. just wow.

This spot is the right place! Leavenworth is popular tourist spot in Cascade mountain area.

But whenever I drive from Monroe SC to Leavenworth, it made me anxious to go back without charging due to remained battery - it barely makes round trip. (I'm driving X 75D)
it's only 160 miles of round trip, but in mountain + winter condition makes actual range worse.

So I needed to detour a little bit for make some peace. (I went to Ellensburg SC and went cross Snoqualmie Pass)

Man they’re fast. Working on Sunday?

 

[ReddyLeaf]

Wow! 12 or 16 stalls is amazing. This really accents how outdated Ellensburg is with 5 stalls. I guess my trips may change to using Stevens Pass.

 

[RedMS]

According to FB all stall are in. Waiting on paving. Maybe, just maybe it’ll open for July 4th....

 

[BerTX]

We should be there Saturday, so I'll post some status photos...

 

[d.petit]

It's looking good and almost finished - can't wait! Although I likely don't need it, I do like seeing the shiny red stations pop up everywhere!

 

[Kuhz]

Drove by again today. Didn’t have time to stop but looks like they are ready to pave!

 

[BerTX]

16 stalls, all back-in. Definitely access from hwy 2 and Front St, probable from Dan's Food Market but too early to tell. No driveway access to McDonald's next door but an easy walk.

Still awaiting paving and landscaping, as well as a transformer and meter. Can't tell if there will be protection (fence) around the equipment or extra lighting.

 

[BerTX]

I have more angles that are not posting. I'll work on it later.

Passed through this evening. All is as BerTX reported. Talked to the folks at Dan's Market. Sounds like the 16 stalls will take up the western edge of their parking lot. Well-stocked market, by the way. Deli counter and coffee/bakery during the day.

This phase of construction went fast. We'll see how long the utility transformer takes...I don't know how much notice the local utility needed. It will sit on the concrete vault in the third photo. Great location for crossing the Cascades on US 2. IMHO strolling around (and dining in) Leavenworth is worth the detour off US 97 (round trip of 8.8 mi, 12 minutes) for north-south travelers.

@BerTX @otter off topic, do either of you own a blue MS that wa sitting my in front of Dans with hazards on?

I don't. I was parked at the L2 charger at City Hall most of Saturday, and on Front St. right next to the SC construction site on Sunday. My MS is white.
