Supercharger - North Aurora, IL

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

Supercharge.info shows a new Supercharger in North Aurora, IL. There's an existing site in Aurora (opened in February 2014). This one's closer to I-88. So, a better location and a better deal?

According to the supercharger map on the official Tesla.com the one in Aurora on Broadway disappeared. I think the one in North Aurora must have replaced it. The one on Broadway was in the Roundhouse parking lot and the superchargers were on temporary dollies the last time I was there.

The SC at Two Brothers brewery is still there, but I'm local and can't believe I missed the construction on the one at Woodmans in North Aurora since I'm up there frequently. I'll need to go check it out today.

I was there and charged Thursday. The sod is still 'squishy'. 8 back-in stalls on the south side of the parking lot. Woodman's is supposed to be expanding in the Chicago area. Wonder if that means any more SCs here.

Here's the one in North Aurora, half of it anyway. I had a friend who lives up there snap a picture of it today. He also verified the one at the Two Brothers Roundhouse is still there, physically anyway.

The New Supercharger in North Aurora and the old one in Aurora by Two Brothers Brewery are both working (as of yesterday).

By chance the other day I ran into one of the guys at Woodmans Supermarket (where the North Aurora SC is located) who was on the Woodman's team that was responsible for getting the SC located there. He was looking for my feedback on having it there since this was a new thing for them. We spoke for about 15 minutes but it sounded like one of their hopes was to attract more upscale clientele to their store. Hopefully locals that may use this location will spend some time shopping in the store. It sounds like if this one works out they will be considering having Tesla install SC at other Woodman's locations. I believe they are mostly in WI.

Personally I didn't shop here too much in the past because of how far it is from my home, but we always liked the store. In the future we are going to shop here whenever we pass it on the way home and need groceries to help support the business, whether I need the charge or not.

Maybe the other woodman's (in carpentersville) will one day get a supercharger as well.

Nav says temporarily closed! I'll drive by shortly.

 

[jordanX]

Charging fine!! Nav still showing temp closure. I am joined by a Y and 3!

Looks like new chargers are being installed. Anyone know if they're for EA or is there going to be more Superchargers installed?

 

[psychoace]

Can confirm, they're putting in 8 more stalls at this location.

We used to travel a bit to the North Aurora Woodman's until they built one closer. Maybe I'll venture out west to N. Aurora again sometime soom to have a look-see, buy some provisions, and click off a few pics.

Ok, that's a weird spot for a van accessible handicap spot. Does this mean we're getting a Tesla Van soon ? It's a new sign and there is plenty of space in between chargers for wheelchair accessibility. Have people converted their Model X for wheelchair access?

My expected trip out to N. Aurora today didn't happen. Maybe soon. I hope the new units are lit up by then. And... Yipee... if I wait another two weeks, I might make it over there in my new Y, expected one week from now! I've got to try out S.C.'ing pretty soon anyway, just to see how/if that works.

The extra spots should be active soon. They had the bags off one day last week but put them back on. They got the fence around the new power station so not sure how far they're on completing all the hook ups.

New 250kw spots are live, can be confirmed in the Tesla mobile app for those in the vicinity.

How about posting a screenshot for us?

 

[Bikeman]

Fantastic News! Just got my Y today, and more than likely N.A. will be my first-ever test of S.C.'ing. Now... to make a Woodman's shopping list.

If photos don't appear within a week, I'll try to grab some decent shots.

 

[psychoace]

They're not live. They're currently still covered

Then I'm glad I didn't get out there today. I wanted to, but other errands took precedence. My next day off is my first service visit. Already. One week old. So maybe when I and my car are ready, N. Aurora will happen.
