Supercharger - Pecos, TX

[Graffi]

My return trip is over 3,500 miles on EV Trip Planner. I could just play with that one leg and input wind speed just to see what it does.

Thanks. At this point, we have pretty much decided to take I-40 (with some variations there and back).

FYI, the Santa Rosa, NM SC has a nice car museum close to it. The guy who owns the museum restores cars so the exhibits change.

I've been to the Santa Rosa SC a half dozen times, and had never noticed that. Thanks for sharing.

FWIW, there is also a nice auto museum east of Tucumcari at Russell's Truckstop in Glen Rio, NM.

Yes, we've been there few years ago and liked it a lot. It is also a good place to resupply yourself with cool Route 66 themed t-shirts.

We will be passing by in couple of weeks again, time to refresh the good memories.

There are the two utility poles. Maybe Oak Tree Inn?

No, I think @BlueShift is premature. This is just a utility site survey. Lots of these have been done that never resulted in a supercharger being built. We should have evidence of a building permit to show “permit” status, or actual construction to show construction status. Otherwise it clutters up the site with speculation that isn’t accurate (such as the permit icon for Research Blvd. in Austin that never happened and was recently removed)

This location is now showing as opening in Summer 2018.

 

[tmoz]

Every future location I checked said they were targeting 2018. But yes, some of them said things like fall or summer 2018, which is a good sign.

This look at little more specific than others. And this one's digging (dig deeper than 16" is Y) where others have been N. But maybe that's just because the lines are buried.

(This permit also has the 100 E Pinehurst St address (which is the Flying J) very and somewhat comically wrong.)

It would be very cool if the Flying J chain decided they will all have superchargers. I thought Musk said there was a deal with some chain, but I haven't heard talk of that lately. That would be a game changer in the SC ramp up.

I wonder if the ElectrifyAmerica.com project will complete before this and or Ft Stockton. This area seems to have a problem with power. Maybe Tesla can swing a smaller Urban Super Charger ,they seem to complete and go much faster. 60-70 kW is better than nothing right now.

Why do you say that?

 

[smartypnz]

I think the chain Musk was referring to was Target.

I happened to click on the LinkedIn page of DTEL Engineering and Consultants - the company that did the York, PA SC.
It said this:

Sign of progress?

Old news - a couple months old. But he might be a good one to contact to see how it is going.

I just got a reply back from DTEL:

• Superchargers
  Any luck finding a crew?
  
  
• Kevin Flannery sent the following message at 11:48 AM
  
  Yes sir, but we are always interested in qualified, reputable, ethical strategic partners.

Dig notice posted for car charging stations, same contractor as in Ft. Stockton, work to begin 8/16. Looks like the Flying J in Pecos is happening!
