Supercharger - Leesburg, VA

[JoshM]

Confirmed: still no transformer as of this very minute.

The Hulk has arrived.

 

[Reddy Kilowatt]

good news! Hope to hear it hum soon.

Look for the meter to be install is about all we can do until the lights are one and we are charging.

The worker that was unloading the transformer said it may be connected Friday or Monday. Does a county inspector have to get involved?

No inspections left except Tesla's final power up and check out. the electrical final was what held this site up for months. It should have opened back at the end of March. Small chance there would be a building permit final or Fire Marshal final.

They have to make a feeder tap in the manhole and that will probably happen at night. It will kill power to the mall and that might not go over well on a Holiday sales weekend.

You expect the utility would be willing to schedule such elective/non-emergency work over a holiday, even if it didn't affect other customers? Not on your life, man.

Seems to me that if there's going to be a partial power outage at Villages, Dominion is going to have to notify everyone in advance. I might ask around a little today and see if any of the store managers are aware yet.

As of right now, no additional work done - no meter or anything else.

No progress

Still nothing, maybe next week

Perhaps the bar for Arlington should be red with orange stripes?

I can confirm that the Leesburg SuperCharger is operational. Two Teslas were charging there today (July 14). I wish I knew who to thank for this?

Were they actually plugged in? The one in the foreground doesn't look like it is.

 

[skappler]

Can anyone confirm this? Doesn’t look like those Tesla’s are plugged in from the photos

 

[ccubeman]

I’ll confess, I am a bit conflicted about parking there without the chargers active. Seems a bit pretentious. However, it’s hot today and the spots are near the stairwell. And we can show our cars to public - little brand advertising. Although if my first concern holds true then maybe not such good advertising.
