Supercharger - New Orleans, LA

[MarcoRP]

Looks like we finally have the location of the New Orleans Supercharger!!

An 811 ticket was filed 3 days ago for a site survey at the Jung Hotel, off I-10. No permits yet on the city's portal, as a site survey could be required for one to be filed.

The site is being done by Landsource, who has been their go-to for site surveys since 2018.

Based on the description, here is the approximate address in plaintext:

189 South Villere Street
New Orleans, LA

It's in a parking lot on the backside of the Jung Hotel, which has a prominent Canal Street location in downtown NOLA.

Daily Grind around the corner is a great coffee spot. Hope the gated lot works well.

Any hope for this to open up for Cyber Monday?

 

[scottwith1t]

with the recent crime wave of carjackings and vandalism, is this really a good spot?

 

[FloridaStateNe]

Any update on this?

 

[TexasDuke]

Not yet?

There's no good spot in New Orleans.

It's been a long time coming though. Louisiana is not an EV friendly place so it's really great seeing this Supercharger coming.

Anybody local want to start driving by here once a week to check on status?

I want to be excited about a supercharger station in New Orleans proper, but it’s hard, for me, to get excited about the location.

Google Maps satellite view currently is showing burnout marks on the top floor of the parking garage. Lol

Must be from all the electrons firing up . . .

At the last stage before permit is approved. Hope they are ready to move quickly forward.

FYI, that image came from the NO permit site at City of New Orleans | One-Stop Shop Permitting & Licensing ; you don't have to log in, just enter the address of interest (150 S Villere or 1500 Canal) into the search box at the top.

Quoting from that image: "level 2 of existing parking facility". So apparently this will be inside the parking deck on the southeast side of the street, not the open lot on the northwest side. I see now that this was already captured in the original permit image back in May, but now I'm pointing it out in case anyone else missed that like me.

The decision to place this supercharger at this location has always given me thought of being questionable regarding safety. Canal St has had numerous shootings, some during daylight recently. This particular end of Canal St. I personally feel is unsafe and this again is another unfortunate example

This may be in a secured parking deck. AGAIN, it would be useful to get someone local to check out the site, now that we have a permit and a location description, all above!

I’m not so much worried about the random violence as the inconvenience of the traffic pattern on Canal. I used to have to drive this area every day and it’s a mess. And forget it during Mardi Gras or Saints or any big event.
