"Nearly" every...

Indeed. Some sites in parking garages utilize existing electrical infrastructure. Some other sites utilize pole-mounted transformers, which are gray cylinders, not green boxes.

 

[Mrbrock]

I'm pretty sure no. Why do you ask? I don't think I've ever seen anything like that at a Tesla SC.

This

Will go here

on second look, it appears this pad is to the left of where you were standing. I’m guessing you were where the two paved over trenches meet on the other side of all the construction debris in the picture?

You and my wife with the finger over the lens

I take no credit for the finger. That was someone else’s picture from earlier in the thread. Just trying to help them see where to look. We should figure out a sticky with what elements you should look for when scouting a site and taking pictures. Cabinets, posts, transformer, etc.

OK gentlemen, new pictures this morning. There's a hole under those boards, so clearly something is going there and not an espresso stand. Waiting on the transformer

Personally I’d take an espresso stand and a transformer beggars can’t be choosers.

Thanks! Yep, waiting in line for a transformer, pretty much the norm these days.

electrical permit has been finaled. I think L&I usually waits for transformers to be installed because they are approving underground electrical service. Can anyone confirm?

Has anyone been by here in the last 2 weeks (!) to check on progress? Tesla has been lighting up finished stations in the PNW this week so hopefully this is in line.

I checked today. No visible change compared to the July 23 photos. Still no transformer.

Are you sure there is no transformer? I don’t think the underground service would be approved if there wasnt a transformer. No transformer equals no service.

And cheap.

And just in time too by the looks.

 

[israndy]

Cheap? I see Everett is 20¢ peak and 13¢ other times, the original Lynnwood 26¢/13¢, new Lynnwood 26¢, and Monroe 28¢

None of that seems expensive, although I guess there isn't a Facebook nearby with lots of free DCFC to bring down the average.

 

[Metalhead47]

I’m used to paying 30 or 40 cents at Burlington so…

 

[Mulkogi]

Considering im paying $0.08 at home, 13 cents for supercharging is really not bad. Even $.26

 

[israndy]

8¢??

 

[Kuhz]

8¢??

I pay $.027/kWh. Costs Chelan county more to deliver that power to my house than I pay them
