Supercharger - Newark, DE

[Lanny]

Newark Supercharger is temporarily closed this afternoon. Here are some photos that @delanman took of the activity there.

At least it is not another crime scene...

Or non-payment of the electric bill.

Back-up battery time!

Autotransformers? The boxes look about the right size for those.

I think it's obvious... Megacharger install!

Do those look different than Decepticon Transformers?

Dunno, they tend to change on their own, spontaneously

Six months ago this would have been a disaster, now it’s just a minor inconvenience.

Was going to stop by here on the way home and got the notice when I tried to route to it. Called support and they said transformer work being done and closed today and likely tomorrow as well. Thanks for the pics!

is this supercharger working again? It was temporary out of service around 5pm today Nov 29

It was still being worked on around 10:15 this evening.

Early this morning it appears that they have four stalls open at Newark with cones in the rest of the spots.

Fortunately since NorthEast and Aberdeen opened Newark seems to get a lot less traffic. The last two trips I made down that way at least when I was driving south and could see the stalls they were entirely empty. Yet I saw at least 4 other Tesla's at NorthEast the last time I was there, and saw 1 or 2 at NorthEast.

Back-up battery time!

I also thought PowerPack install... but not just for backup. They can be used to cut demand charges during normal usage.

I'd be surprised if Newark had time of use charges. This area generally doesn't.

TOU is typically residential. Demand Charges are on commercial accounts at high demand locations, and are pretty much universal in the USA.

@Drucifer 's commercial demand charge scenario is what I was referring to.

 

[WATTS-UP]

Simple question. Does Tesla post an alert of super charger closures anywhere?

I normally stop at Newark on the way back home. I would be screwed if I pulled into Newark with 35 miles left.
