Supercharger - North Conway, NH
- Thread starter GreatBay Shark
- Start date
Not a lot of visible change this week.
The gravel filling in the trenching across the road to the utility pole has been removed. As a result, a portion of the way between route 16 and North South road is closed. The detour is through the Hannaford parking lot, as if there wasn't enough traffic there near Thanksgiving.

A couple of first today. 1) Working on the weekend. 2) Laying heavy wiring from spools.
Wires not unspooled yet on second look. They may be done for the weekend at 1 PM Saturday.
@tes-s @MarcoRP @corywright I think a correction to supercharge.info is in order - North Conway can't be open with the update from Saturday above.

Corrected - my mistake. Sorry for the false alarm - it was "nearby" Malta. I got confused....
Not open, but pedestals in the ground on November 22.
Note the shopping carts in one photo. The Hannaford lot is the #1 place in North Conway to be hit by a stray cart. People are lazy and there aren't enough corrals. However, except on very busy supermarket days the Superchargers are safe due to their far corner location.
In photo #2, the rightmost sign base is in a place where a Tesla can't Supercharge. Setup to allow other makes to Supercharge?

Yes, it would take a miracle akin to virgin birth for this to be ready for Xmas. Even MLK day is optimistic. Presidents' day might be more realistic. Two photos from today. No one onsite at 10:30 am.
The Littleton, MA SC went from ground breaking to charging in about 2 months, so 'operational by Christmas' is possible (work here started early October). However, Littleton has it's own electricity supplier, not one of the big utilities. From what I've seen, delays in the utility coming in, signing off, and turning on the juice are a major factor in the time it takes to activate an SC.
My prediction is that this SC will complete within a week or so, but will sit idle for weeks until the utility gets off its ass and turns it on.
It's already 2 months since they started dropping hardware at the site. I'm sure the utility up there has people that can do inspections pretty quick, and I'm sure the town has inspectors that can approve the site quickly too. It just looks like slow construction progress for whatever reason.
Smaller construction crew than I've seen at past sites.It just looks like slow construction progress for whatever reason.
Bollards went up today on posts that I thought maybe were for signs. They're a good idea wherever it snows, but seem wider apart and further back than I'd expect.
Took less than a week for both Eversource and Conway to inspect/approve a residential solar install with Powerwalls, although I'm guessing the SC is slightly more involved and Hannaford may be NHEC territory.It's already 2 months since they started dropping hardware at the site.

It seems much of the work this week is to install a curb between the pedestals and the parking lot. The non Tesla spots bordering the grass/wood chips on that side of the lot do not have a curb, so it's a bit odd.
