    How long does the process usually takes now that we know construction has started?

    Weeks to months... lots of variables including weather, utility company (eversource I presume) scheduling, inspections, tesla supercharger team availability in the region to do final validation and enablement. Likely at least a month out, more likely several.

    As a reference, Hudson, MA, which has a muni utility same as Littleton, was completed in about 2 months.

    New Super Charger coming to Hudson, MA

    Yes, but completely different companies (Hudson Light & Power vs Littleton Electric Light Company)

    No obvious changes as of today. 3-6" more snow expected this afternoon/tonight which will continue to slow progress here a bit.

    The map still needs updating.

    I drove by this afternoon. Despite low temperatures and snow, they've broken ground. There's a 3 foot deep trench along the site. CC11ED4D-6583-4A78-990B-AF0E56B4EFDD.jpeg

    It's been updated for about a week now. It's accurate.

    Are we looking at different maps? The satellite photo you posted in this forum is correct.

    However, when I follow the gmap link at supercharge.info, the pin is still on the road south of Tavern in the Square. It should be on the parking lot lane NE of Emerson Urgent Care.

    Yes, different maps. The gmap link takes you out of Supercharge.info and to google, where it directs to the street address. The pin there will be wherever google identifies that particular address. This can sometimes be quite a ways from the actual location of the chargers. SC.info's own map has the pin placed in the correct location.

    Looks like this is progressing fast. They have laid some conducts and dug a deep hole.

    More conduit. I see 4 clusters of conduit in the back, matching the 4 large boxes (presumably transformers) on site. There are also now 6 conduits coming from them ending in a row nearer he parking area, presumably to supply individual chargers. D50C58BD-5732-4BD7-B6D8-FED37A99D77F.jpeg

    Friday, 2:30 PM. No one onsite, but they seem to have finished
    laying conduit, and are refilling the ditch with concrete(?).

    Yup - that work is new today (I was there last night and didn't see any notable changes from the last update)

    lol, I swung by there about 12 today, but didn't take any pictures. The crew is busy, and I don't like taking pictures of the workers without asking.

    Friday, 4:30. They've put in more concrete, and added signposts.

    Looks like that box should add the text "... and don't support the bottom by one brick in the corner".
