I’ll be back in mid December. Maybe it’ll be done by thenYes, Target side. There's also some in the middle of that lot running perpendicular. Probably for staging. I'll try and get some photos next week.

@bmah caught in a time warp? Its 2022…Here's some quick photos from last night. There's some trenching (with metal plates over) between the charging spots and the center of the lot where they I thought was just the staging area, but not I'm thinking they may be putting the cabinets there.

To be fair, it was approved Sep 2021.Haha, thanks for pointing that out! Fixed.

Yes. St. Helena would be a good location, 20 miles from Napa, but there's no room in existing lots unless you go north of Safeway or behind it on Adams St. There's a lot of room south of the library, but that land would have to have paving, and there's nothing near it BUT the library. I guess one could go read a book while they charge. Parking in St. Helena is a major problem all over town, but looking at Google, I am reminded that there is a fair amount of lightly used space behind Smith's Pharmacy, around from Safeway. One could walk the two blocks into "town" or go visit Safeway while waiting on a charge. It's an empty lot, but really close to everything.Seems somewhat unnecessary would rather see one further north in St Helena or Calistoga.
As was discussed earlier, if you charge in Napa, you should have zero issues traveling around the valley for a few days and making it back to Napa to charge again. Especially with the many destination chargers at wineries and hotels up valley. The point of Superchargers is to enable traveling to the NEXT location. Where would you go AFTER charging in St Helena? Likely back to Napa or elsewhere in the Bay Area. Tesla has tracking data from all their vehicles. If it showed a lot of people traveling to North to Lake County from Napa then maybe we’d see something In Calistoga but obviously they see people charging in Napa and then returning south out of the valley.Yes.

Napa already has two charging locations, one south of town, and one at First Street. They don't need another, in my opinion. And though Calistoga is a fun place to visit, from what I see there's not a lot of tourism that direction unless you're going over to Santa Rosa.
Anyone have updates? Chargers are still under wraps as of today.Swung by and did a quick drive thru today and couldn’t find a transformer or a site for a potential one (no empty pads or lonely conduit stubs. Target’s and OSH’s are above ground so I don’t think they’ll put one in a vault underground. Also, the electrical cabinet (pictured above in grey) is quite large for only 12 stalls. usually it’s a single 2 door white unit and this one appears to be 4 or more doors and is grey. I didn’t get out to see what all the red plaques on them said but looked similar to what was used on my solar install to mark what was what. Maybe someone with more time can check that out to see if they give any clue. Maybe some type of battery storage?
