Supercharger - Owatonna, MN

[threeputts]

New location on the find us map with target opening of Q3 ‘23.

 

[Cyberjr]

Target opening of Q3 ‘23 at Target Store maybe?

This would do nicely to split the gaps between Bloomington and Albert Lea, and between Rochester and St. Peter. Now, looking to split more gaps between the Twin Cities and Kansas City along I-35; logical locations in Iowa are Clear Lake, Ames, and Osceola.

Nothing showing up in Owatonna City meetings for Permit's or location. Will check in the new year?

 

[xenokira]

Anyone know of any updates? Having a SC in Owatonna is going to be a huge convenience for my family

 

[Cyberjr]

I cannot locate any permits from city of owatonna, etc yet. Thinking this is going in the target of I-35N. It could surprise us and be installed at Cabela’s area just north of town with restaurants and travel center.

Tesla also seems to have a very good relationship lately with Hy-Vee so while not as convenient as the Cabela's or Target, it wouldn't surprise me if it ended up there. My guess is it is probably at Target though.

Good call. Thousands of people descend on the owatonna fair every year. Its close to hwy 14 and i35.

Electrical permit pulled today. Address is a Culvers.

I-35 and on US-14 (although a significant diversion).

Also another location that's "not at Walmart".

 

[xenokira]

I know it's not terribly far, but I was hoping for a bit closer to Hwy 14. In any case, if this is up and running by winter, I'll be ecstatic!

 

[starman27]

Wow, 14 stalls! Love to see it!

 

[Cyberjr]

Culvers is right off interstate and in same commercial area. Lots of businesses

There is no amenities at 35/14 exit . Just south of WalMart. Walking distance. Or the 1st exit from the north going south.

Completed a drive around the proposed Lot of Culver's in Owatonna. Rumor has it that owner was instrumental in getting this site going. There is plenty of parking in the lot, but during lunch and dinner times the place fills up. Still surprised they didnt use the Wal-Mart parking area adjacent to it.

 

[minnesnowta]

One-call ticket just submitted:

 

[Yeah]

Seems like a prime location for the spots to get ice'd. Especially how popular culvers is with older people.

Tip: If you plan to have a meal at Culvers use the Culver’s app to order 15 minutes ahead of time. That way you have time to use the restroom and eat your food within a typical 20-30 minute charge session.

14 stalls is odd, as is the permit listing 14 0 to 200A electric services. On every other electrical permit for superchargers, branch circuits are only listed for individual breakers and there are only breakers in the panels for cabinets, control circuitry and, lighting (usually). Cabinets run 4 chargers and are usually connected to 600A breakers. If this were 12 stalls, you’d see a charge for the main service (more than 800A), 3 for 401 to 800A and 1 for 0 to 200A (control circuitry) and maybe some additional for lighting and L2 chargers. Yes, each charger is essentially getting 1/4 of the 600A total per cabinet but that’s now how the main electric panel looks.

Finally getting into the permit and clicking more info gets this which looks more normal. Just an odd summary I guess. Still trying to figure out the 14 under 200A feeders/circuits. 3 over 200A are for the cabinets so 12 SC. I’ve never seen individual charge posts tagged as feeders/circuits since that would be like charging per light fixture/outlet on a single circuit. Id almost guess this is 12 SC and 2 L2 along with lights. That’s the only way I can get to 14 chargers. Less likely would be 8 SC and 6 L2. Be interesting to see how it unfolds once construction starts.
