Supercharger - Lowell, MA

[Les236]

This site was a surprise to me! I happened to be driving by yesterday and saw this. I took the image today. All fencing down, everything looks pretty close to completion. Odd that I don't see it on the map on the Tesla site. Spare cabinet still sitting on ground in same spot.

Still waiting for the utility pole to be installed by Eversource. There may be issues with that getting done... who knows when this will be complete.

The spare supercharger cabinet is awaiting pickup... (and has been for too long).

I was there last night. Site looks great, once the utility pole is installed & everything is completed.

I thought National Grid was the provider in Lowell?

Sorry. Maybe it’s grid. Sounds like they came out to install the pole and determined that it couldn’t be done where the utility plan has stated it should go. So…. Hard to say when this site will come online.

I'll swing by Lowes and run an extension cord..
I noticed that the chargers don't have Number/Letter marks on the bottom..

Numbering occurs when Tesla techs come to commission the site typically... we could be weeks or months away from that

I heard this is a farce and this SC site will never be opened, just a thing to get people talking and hopes up.....well maybe 2026 ??

Perhaps the community can decorate the spare supercharger cabinet on the pallet in a festive way? (as long as it does not in any way hinder it's eventual pickup that is....)

 

[Les236]

Seems to be a long time since this was completed, but still no power. I wonder what the holdup is. It also doesn't seem to appear on the Tesla map.

See post #45 above. Problems getting the pole installed to being power into the site. Utility company needs to redesign where power is coming in from and that will undoubtedly require the contractor to come back and do/redo conduit work to get the power to the transformer. This could to a while

I go by this site everyday so will report any new activity.

Wow. Been months and still not operational.

I really hope they figure something out with this site soon. The Tyngsborough charger is quickly becoming overcrowded on weekends and is often ICEd by Tavern In The Square patrons.

The spare supercharger is now gone but no other activity.

At one point I thought Tyngsboro PD was playing ball with enforcing ICEing- is that not the case?

Yeah. About that. I sometimes get on their nerves too by parking my car in front of their ice car in the stalls.

I have called them on numerous occasions when all 12 stalls are in use and a non Tesla was in one stall. They never show up. You’d think they would be all over those fines for blocking a charging station.

I stopped by yesterday and all is cleaned up, extra cabinet removed, etc. Looks like the only thing missing is the large green transformer from the electric company. The pad is poured and ready to go. I still find it odd that it is not on Telsa's map of current and future supercharger sites.

There are lots of sites out there permit, in construction and/or finished but not yet open that don't show as "coming soon" on Tesla's map. I agree it's weird - really not sure what Tesla's criteria is for listing them.
