Supercharger - Nashville, TN - Charlotte Pike

[craigery]

The official Tesla “coming soon” supercharger list is notoriously unreliable, It would be nice if they decided to make an effort in greater accuracy, but I’ll have to see it to believe it.

As of 12/28, there was no activity on construction for Charlotte Pike. Does anyone know if they ever pulled permits? And if those are still valid?

Not really disagreeing with you, but isn’t this the first time they list quarters instead of years? I would hope that would suggest a higher level of accuracy. They also now list some SC’s as 2022 already.

As for permits, I looked at the permits for the other super chargers in Nashville and one of them had the comment that a permit was not needed because the state handles EV charging permits. I can’t find any sort of state permit listing though.

Additionally it looks like a whole bunch were just added to the map, so someone has been actively updating it recently. Not to say that the date estimates aren't optimistic, but they seem to be popping up pretty quickly these days. I think we have reached a turning point where convenience store outlets are suddenly scrambling to get in on the charging station activity and are aggressively driving expansion.

Fixed it just before I saw your message.

Progress photos would be greatly appreciated!

Where is this list you keep up? Gotta link? TIA

The list @JPWhite was referring to is supercharge.info.

I drove by and didn't seen any fencing. Has this site been abandoned?

 

[JPWhite]

Progress finally!! The cabinets have arrived and they are digging trenches.

I had completely given up on this one. Cool beans!

Although we may never know the reason for the delay the theory I have running through my mind is Tesla diverted V3 cabinets to the new 56 stall site at Firebaugh CA and the 72 stall site at Shanghai Chi-na. That's 32 V3 cabinets for just two other locations. Tesla must have limits to the number of V3 cabinets they can make in a given period.

@corywright Can you update supercharge.info to show this will be a v3 site?

 

[ParkerA1996]

Construction is happening near where the cabinets and stalls are placed and across the entry road which is where I assume the utilities hookup will be. Looks like 3 V3 cabinets total. Happy to see some progress on this one!

They seem to be missing the transformer still. There was a pedestal on the other side of the road with a lot of wire running to it.

 

[LoudMusic]

That still looks like progress to me!

SuperCharge.info needs to be updated to show 12 Stalls

Getting close now. 1000 kva transformer is in. There’s also a smaller 75 kva transformer that’s maybe for the L2 chargers at the end?

Seems likely, most of the new target superchargers I see going in are including some level 2 or Electrify America in the same space to encourage all EV to stop there.

Anyone been by recently?

 

[craigery]

I stopped by Saturday briefly. Very close to complete. The only thing I could see missing was one of two meters. Landscaping in. Parking lines painted. I’ll be back this coming weekend if not sooner.

 

[craigery]

Fencing removed. You can see in the photo two men working in one of the boxes by the transformer. Was on a call so I couldn’t ask if they had an ETA.

I may be in Nashville in the next couple days. I will report back if I head to check the site.
