Does that look like more than 4 chargers are going in?

Well the info Source in my post #13 must have been partially incorrect. Based on the equipment and parking area, this appears to be a 8 or possibly 12 stall installation.

It looks like 4 stalls when I was there. I’m sure some of the concrete space for the supportive charger equipment.

Four stalls is a mistake. That is a popular area in the summer and I can easily see it being swamped.

Still better than zero.

At least 4 stalls will be easier to ICE with only a single pickup truck towing a boat - then they can chuckle about sticking it to Tesla owners while they drive up to take a photo in front of the giant fish statue in Garrison.

If anyone is headed that direction, please take more photos to include all visible equipment and supplies. Pedestal bases if present. Pedestal boxes, (giant boxes on pallets) 4 pedestals per box nowadays. Thanks

Even if 4 stalls, the equipment on site is at least 2 cabinets so at minimum there is redundancy.

 

[Big Earl]

Highly unlikely to be 4 stalls. I count 3 Supercharger cabinets, which would typically support 12 stalls.

I'm virtually certain this site will be larger than 4 stalls and could well be 12. The construction area is bigger than needed for four stalls, and in the vast majority of installations, there are four stalls per power distribution cabinet. Three cabinets equals 12 stalls in most instances.

As for what @ItsNotAboutTheMoney says, I've never seen or heard of a location that has redundant power distribution units beyond what is needed for the specific stalls.

Hopefully, someone can pop by and get photos of the installation as construction progresses.

My wife just drove by today 7/21/23 and took these pictures. I count a total of 7 pedestal bases in the pictures so I can only assume there’s an 8th around somewhere.

 

[DMC5180]

Thank You! It’s an 8 stall. 7 back in with possibly 1 pull in. I can just see the top of the 8th base in the second photo far left mostly hidden by the curb, but there’s also 1 unset base in the background.

It’s too bad they couldn’t do a perpendicular pull through stall.

Someone on the FB group just posted more pics and shows there are at least 6 castings in the ground. Thanks to B.S. for taking the photo.

Probably not worth mentioning, but there's an updated one-call dig ticket for this site: Search and Status

Seems the original one expired. Doesn't appear to be anything new in it aside from bumping out the dates.

Concrete curbs are poured, still some decent work to do. Photo taken today.

 

[DMC5180]

Looks like Yesterday’s storms took down the temporary fence.

 

[Brolan]

At the rate they are going it will probably be the end of the year before it is ready.

I was by a last Sunday, possibly minor changes 8/11 photos but the main update is not much happening.
