Are those Magic Dock v3s?

supercharge.info is showing them as just nacs

I’m not sure. He didn’t get out of his car to look at the cables, it’s not his thing to get excited about this type of stuff
He was just doing me a favor by seeing how far along they were.

Are they installing anything BUT V3 or V4 anymore?

I stopped by on my way through the area yesterday morning. The dumpster is back. Some pavement patching is needed. No bollards. And I couldn't find either a transformer or a transformer pad. So it isn't clear to me where the power is coming from.

thanks for the update, ~1 month until I am in the area, hopefully enough time for the last buttoning up.

The photo with the dumpster shows a big bucket on a power pole, so they might use a group of 3 pole-mounted transformers. That's occasionally been used elsewhere.

Would be enough capacity for a 16 stall site? If so, that suggesting has merit.

The pole mounted single phase transformers seem to max out at 167 kVA (sample specs), so three of them would be 500 kVA. I have been told that a V3 cabinet normally has a 387 kVA feed. This 16 stall site has 4 cabinets, so it should have a total supply of about 1,550 kVA. So there are either nine of those pole mounted transformers somewhere, or there must be the typical pad mounted transformer hiding in plain sight.
