Sorry for the off topic question, but are those solar panels on the roof of the Big Y and Snap fitness?

 

[gtr987]

construction has started. SureValla's location guess is spot-on.

Thanks for the update.

Who would have thought that there'd be a Model S in the frame, what are the odds

 

[mikeash]

Awesome! Between this and Watertown, my August trip to Montreal has gone from "this'll work, but I hope my chosen CHAdeMO sites are good" to "piece of cake!"

 

[EdA]

Not going Albany to Plattsburgh?

 

[mikeash]

We're stopping in Bennington on the way south, and we'd like to take a more scenic route keeping to the east until we get near NYC. If we were just going direct then Plattsburgh/Albany would be the more natural route for sure. (Same deal with Watertown, we're making a stop over in that area on the way north.)

What is "the frame"?

 

[EdA]

I mean in the picture...

 

[mwoz]

yes.

Thanks gtr987, I live in the "sunshine state" yet for some reason I'm not used to seeing solar panels on commercial buildings.

Well, that's probably the photographer's S, so not altogether bad odds.

I'll be there on the 15th and 17th as well

 

[gtr987]

charger frames are in place, no transformer pad visible, no utility trenching visible outside fenced area, some crated equipment at one end of site.

 

[SureValla]

drove by yesterday, only slightly further along than @gtr987's photos.

 

[RDoc]

Yes, we just got back from Tanglewood. It would be nice if this got installed soon. We did the usual and recharged at W. Springfield, but it's pretty far off the Pike to get down and back.

BTW, the chargers at the Lenox police station were both taken Sat and Sunday, so don't rely on them.

I stopped by today (to use the BIG Y Chargepoint station) and spoke with the construction crew. They expect to be finished this week and said that it could be available for use sometime next week. The power company needs to install a transformer. As I was leaving, an Eversource (local utility) truck was on site.
