Supercharger - Palmdale, CA (LIVE 19 Oct 2020, 20 V3 stalls)

[mociaf9]

The number and layout of the cabinet side conduit is distinctive. V3 cabinets are connected to 4 stalls and urban supercharger cabinets, as a form of V2 supercharger, are connected to 2 stalls. So, even if you can't recognize the differences, you can compare the number of cabinet positions to the number of stall positions. If those are in a ratio of 1:4, then it's a V3 site. If the ratio is 1:2, then it's a V2 site.

In otter's bottom picture above, ignore the grouping of conduit on the left as that will be for power distribution and control. The 5 locations to the right will be for V3 cabinets. To compare that to what a V2 pad looks like, here's a picture from South SF, CA that shows the conduit stubs for the 10 V2 cabinets. You can immediately see that the layouts are very different.

OUTSTANDING! Thanks for the details, @mociaf9. I guess now the remaining question is how many stalls will they be initially installing.

But really, I don’t care because V3 rocks!

Thanks for the update. What specifically distinguishes the layout as V3 instead of Urban Superchargers?

V3 cabinets serve 4 stalls. V2 and Urban only have 2 stalls per cabinet.

In the pictures above, for each V3 cabinet, you can see 4 large conduits, one for each stall, 3 conduits for AC power, and two conduits for DC interconnect. It appears that the DC interconnect for 4 cabinets goes to the 5th cabinet (far right) in the picture above. The group of conduits on the left is the AC distribution cabinet.

Looks like we have confirmation that these will be v3 chargers. (and probably will be 12 stalls instead of 14) Can you update supercharge.info @MarcoRP @Chuq ?

V3 yes, but how do you figure 12 stalls?

If there are three cabinets, that would be 12 stalls.

On July 30, I spoke with this contractor (who has done 11 of these sites) ...he estimated around early to mid-September.

 

[desert29]

Looks like all 12 stalls are in now!

Great. Now I'll be able to drive from 29 Palms to Santa Clarita without worrying if I have enough miles to make it in high temps with the ac on, the strong headwinds and the hills on the 14 freeway.

Just FYI, I saw that there is a new supercharger coming soon to the Target in Adelanto. That would be a good option from 29 palms as well! Not sure when that will be complete.

Adelanto has no Target store
