Supercharger - Orleans, MA

[StevenM]

A couple of updates.

I've seen the construction mockups and the permit. Pic of the mockup below:

If built, this would be in far end of the parking lot. A G map below with the approximate location (yellow arrow):

Convenient(ish) to get to S&S but a hike for anything else (Windmill Liquors, Knack, etc...).


I have calls in to S&S and the design firm to check on timelines...

Thanks for doing the research on this! I’ll be driving over to the Stop & Shop later today and will scope out that back area of the parking lot.

Yes thanks a bunch for the images! I see 12 superchargers in the rendering when I thought there were only going to be 8... I may be mis-remembering though..

Would be nicer to have them closer to the front of the store but I'm sure the wiring and routing to transformer/switchgear was what drove the location

IMHO, it's better to have them at an inconvenient location to minimize ICEing. I don't mind walking, but hate people ICEing chargers.

Ah great point - I didn't consider that and haven't experienced ICEing since getting the Tesla ... How rude

I was there today at the Stop & Shop but I was with a group of people and didn’t have time to scope out the exact location. Plus it was crappy weather most of the day on the Cape. Will be checking this out sometime tomorrow.

So I was at the Stop & Shop this weekend but never had a chance to take photos of the proposed location of the superchargers. But there really is absolutely no activity at all so nothing to really take a photo of.

However what I can report is that it does appear there is a walkable path between the superchargers and the Cape Escape mini golf course. I didn’t walk the path myself but from what I could see it does appear to be passable. Here’s a panoramic shot I took while playing at Cape Escape:

The building on the left is the back of the Stop & Shop. You can walk from there along the back edge of Cape Escape and emerge on Canal Rd around the 3rd hole on the course as illustrated here:

That's an excellent idea! Get a round of mini-golf during the charge.

There's never, ever been a reason to get back to any business on that road if you were parking at Stop & Shop so the concept of a path for any of those business owners would not even enter into their minds. But (potentially, eventually) now there would be an excellent one! I know the owners of Cape Escape and tell them to keep an eye out for construction.

I was visiting family in Chatham so I thought that I'd drive up to Orleans for a look at the future Supercharger site.

The area behind the Stop & Shop is fenced off and digging has commenced :

Nice! Hopefully it will be operational by Labor Day.

Stopped through today. Progress! I see conduit in those boxes.

This is good enough confirmation methinks. @BlueShift @Chuq

The question now is if these will be V2 or V3 superchargers.

How long has this site been in permit stage? Just curious as the Wareham and Seekonk are about 1.5 years into permit stage which to me seems like an awful long time.

Looks like the permit was approved in January. Check post #7 in this thread.
