Supercharger - Ocean City, MD

[Tholland]

The grey cabinets in the picture from your post #12 are part of the power distribution hardware and not indicative of either V2 or V3. To definitively tell which version it is, we'd need to either see the supercharger cabinets themselves or good pictures of the conduit layouts if the cabinets aren't installed yet.

I know I saw somewhere it was V2 and the cabinets were sitting next to them recently from my uncle that’s there. However I didn’t get a picture from him. But I’ll be there next weekend. I’ll take pictures and let everyone know what’s new and how it is progressing

Stopped by the West Ocean City MD Super Charger location this morning, picture included fyi. No activity on site while I was there. Note DC fast charger with the Royal Farms insignia on the box.

From the picture I see conduit for two cabinets and 8 stalls. That implies V3. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Can someone tell what brand DC fast charger is that in the foreground? Electrify America? It has the same base pad as the units at Sheetz in South riding.

That charger predates Electrify America. A few years back, Maryland gave out a bunch of grants to put in fast chargers. Royal Farms managed to get a bunch of the grants and used them to install chargers at a bunch of Maryland locations. When I checked that one out, several years ago, it only had the Chademo connector. I think the CCS is relatively new. Plug Share says it's on the Charge Point network. I know I parked in the spot once to check it out. I don't recall if I actually charged there or not.

That's a 50 kW Efacec, has some 27 cooling fans with individual filters that someone has to replace periodically. It is on the ChargePoint network and paid for by MD EVIP grant/taxpayer money. It rarely works.

Stopped by this afternoon and I can report the pickup has been replaced by a Comcast Van. Otherwise everything looks the same.

It predates a lot of things by the look of it!

Stopped by today and there is no change.


The DC charger currently at the gas station is a Chargepoint Chademo and CCS charger.

Anyone local with an update? Looking forward to this one!

Went by yesterday no movement! Still waiting for the chargers to show up... so hopefully they get this moving but I don’t think they will have it open until Jan most likely. Because they still have to test it and get the approval to turn it on. But it’s coming

Went by this evening and still no change. Also the Chargepoint charger wouldn’t charge with my CHADEMO adapter. Thankfully the EV Institute has a free charger at the convention center.
I’m staying in town so it doesn’t make sense to head to the nearby Supercharger.

Oh you might see us riding around town. Should be heading down after work. Black model 3 with sport wheels... if you are a space x fan, you will notice us as are tags ( license plate) has a reference to one of there rockets!

Drove by today, still waiting for pedestals. Coming back in July, hopefully they’ll be done.

 

[Tholland]

I’m sorry I should said something I was there this weekend. No movement like you stated. I wonder what is taking so long for the stall to actually show up. But I was hoping for it to be open by now but long as it opens one day soon that’s what matters. Excited for it.

 

[Mdsbrain]

Happy 2020, no change as of today.

 

[DaveM410]

I am hopeful the delay in equipment arrival could mean v3.... Makes sense timing wise.....

 

[Tholland]

Still no change as of today! Just went by there! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. It would be great if it were V3 but I just have the feeling it will be V2 which is actually fast enough for most people.

You can tell the difference between V2 and V3 pretty early on by looking at the conduit layout. I believe V2 has 2 pedestals/cabinet and V3 has 4 pedestals/cabinet. There are 8 pedestals going in here. So if the conduit is clustered into 2 groups at the cabinet end, that means V3. If it's in 4 groups, that means V2. The picture above makes me think this is V3, but the signs are blocking the view of the pad enough that I can't be sure. If someone goes and gets a good picture of the conduit for the cabinets, it shouldn't be hard to tell if it's V3 or V2.
