As of the June 29 meeting Tesla agreed to draft final drawings including shielding the charging cabinets and transformer with landscaping.
“Ms. Coletta asked if Tesla could give a written commitment to screen the transformer area with vegetation. Mr. Noseworthy agreed, and said they are still working on creating a full set of drawings, which would show the screening.”
as of July 27 meeting the fire chief recommended some basic electric vehicle safety training from Tesla to the fire department.
“Mr. Taylor said the Fire Chief had given some recommendations regarding a possible electric car charging station, in particular that bollards be installed to protect the equipment and that a warning sign be posted. Mr. Wandell suggested that Tesla provide training to the Fire Department about electric vehicle protection training, such as extrication from an electrically charged vehicle. He noted the unique dangers of electric vehicles during accidents, and that rescuers risk being electrocuted.”
As of the August 10 meeting the town agreed they would like to see training for firefighters from Tesla.
“Mr. Taylor said that the Fire Chief was in favor of Mr. Wandell’s suggestion (in a previous board meeting) that if Tesla builds an electric car charging station in Pembroke, the company should provide training to the Fire Department about electric vehicle protection and extrication from electrically charged vehicles.”
I think we’ve seen Tesla provide training to local fire departments in the past. I recall seeing instructional training videos from Fremont on how to cut the emergency disconnect cables in both the frunk and the C pillar using the jaws of life.
