Supercharger - Napa, CA - Factory Stores Drive (LIVE 16 Nov 2019, 20 V2 stalls)

[mociaf9]

They look to be building another supercharging location in Napa. Near the outlets. I drove by there today and saw the electrical boxes going up.

Apologize if this has been mentioned. Just saw it and hopped on my phone to mention it before getting to bed.

H/T to @silentsnow31802 for finding this location. I believe I have confirmed it as a supercharger via Napa's permitting portal, records:

• E1809-0024: Electrical permit for "INSTALL EV CHARGING STATIONS 20 CHARGE POSTS, 10 CABINETS". Issued 2019-06-14 and initial inspection for underground electrical on June 27th.
  
• EP1905-0047: (Public Works) Encroachment permit for "Install Conduit/Cable/Pole/Box for Tesla Charging Station." Issued (with conditions) on 2019-05-30.

Address: 629 Factory Stores Dr, Napa, CA 94558
GPS: no idea on exact location within the property, sorry.

Nice work. Thanks for starting this thread.

@silentsnow31802 - Can you point out exactly where you saw the chargers being installed on the property? Thanks.

They look to be going in the red circled area in the attached picture. The picture is (obviously) of the Napa Outlets parking lot. They seem to be going up next to the EVgo charging station.

I've been there on a weekend many years ago, and that place was crowded. I'm surprised they were able to get 20 spaces for supercharging.

I thought the same thing also. I have a feeling these spots will be shared with ICE vehicles.

I'd guess these would be urban superchargers, given the location. American Canyon already has standard ones. And I agree with the above; this parking lot can get busy, and there are a lot of Teslas in Napa (including visitors). I bet this is going to be a high volume location, and as such, ICEing may not have a chance. Especially so if they're pull-throughs, though I'm not sure they build urban Superchargers with that layout.

Vancouver - Burrard St is an urban pull-through supercharger.

There isn't a Supercharger in American Canyon. You probably means the one on Devlin Road which is unincorporated Napa County.

I really can't see this new location being that busy at all, at least for the immediate future. The other Napa location is not very busy at all, even on holiday weekends. I've never ever seen a queue in the 3 years it's been in operation.

I drove by yesterday. The area is fenced off and the electrical boxes are in place. No trenching underway. Looks like the 20 chargers will all go in a line next to Freeway Drive.

Superchargers coming to Napa Outlet : teslamotors

/u/egb6550 posted some video, about 30 seconds worth, shot over the fencing at the new Napa location showing the site layout and status. (No pedestals installed yet)

I peeked through the fence when I was by there today. I agree with ohmman that they will more than likely be urban superchargers. No pull through locations. I don't think these parking spots got very heavy use in the past, as they are farthest out and down on the end of the outlets with fewer stores nearby.

I'm pleasantly surprised as the Devlin Road supercharger is only a couple of miles away and is rarely full.

No, based on the video I linked just above, they'll be traditional style (150 kW) superchargers. You can tell from looking at the precast concrete bases for the missing charging posts. But if I hadn't seen it, I would have expected the urban superchargers as well based on the location. So, a bit of surprise.

 

[tessnme]

The fence is down today. The only change over the last two weeks. But, here they are, all 20. It's right across the parking lot from Brooks Brothers and a small coffee shop.

 

[tessnme]

No change today. Nobody working. Maybe when they finish Santa Rosa.

There are multiple sites in this state. They must be waiting for the pedestals to be manufactured.

 

[ohmman]

Status quo again today. This is sizable for the location, I’ll say that.

There are supercharger next to the Chevron station on the side road near airport and 29
