Supercharger - Pismo Beach, CA (LIVE 8 Jun 2020, 12 V3 stalls)

[MarcoRP]

Pismo Beach is getting a Supercharger!!!

This new Supercharger will be located at the Pismo Beach Premium Outlet mall near the Nike Factory Store (333 Five Cities Dr). I obtained the info via Allan on Twitter. A photo posted to that link shows a fenced up area of the parking lot as well as the top of 3 cabinets, which look like V3 cabinets. Although I am very confident that this is a Supercharger, I will hold before adding this on Supercharge Info.

Confirmation. Here's the building permit (B19-000368) for "Tesla Charging Station: Installation of 12 charging posts and 3 electrical cabinets, and utility equipment, and 2 light poles" at the outlets location. Description also confirms it's V3 (4:1 posts to cabinets ratio), though the pictures were proof enough.

Looks like confirmation! Now added

Pismo Beach, CA

Along Primary Interstates: None
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): US-101
Along Auxiliary Interstates: None
Along State Routes: CA-1

US-101

From: Buellton, CA - 50.1 miles
To: San Luis Obispo, CA - 12.6 miles
Diversion: 0.7 miles
From: Goleta, CA - 83 miles
To: Atascadero, CA - 30.4 miles
To: Gilroy, CA - 141.7 miles

More capacity and density along US-101, which will help reduce the lines seen at San Luis Obispo, CA during the last holiday season. But, Tesla really needs King City, CA to split the gap and spread the load.

"Tesla really needs King City, CA to split the gap and spread the load."

Yes, I have been saying the same thing and posting about this incessantly. That huge gap is a major issue ... when driving from the bay area I could make it to Atascadero / SLO no problem, but always have to stop in Salinas in case there's a huge line or other issues.
At one point I thought a King City SC was coming (in this thread: Not a Supercharger - King City: permit for EV chargers at 560 Canal Street) but turned out not to be the case.

I am hopeful they will get Soledad up and running in 2020, and also the planned SC at Paso Robles and the expansion at SLO (if it's ever approved haha) should help. They are adding Teslas to the road at an exponential rate, and I-5 is subject to closure during storms, so this is a huge vulnerability in the system given how Tesla dense California is.

I have always wanted to stop at Pismo on the way down and this new SC will be a great option... except on big shopping weekends like black Friday, which is typically one of the days I drive from SoCal to NorCal and have to avoid Gilroy SC premium outlets for the same reason.

Welcome, Pismo! All new stations along 101 are so very needed. Plus I have family right next door in Arroyo Grande, so nice for visits.

Here’s a new photo from inside the enclosure: stalls are onsite already!!

Great picture. What you see is what we saw in Goleta in December, with the rain they are probably a month out now. Without it maybe April 1. So, if your timeline follows ours, Goleta, four months or so.

Thanks for the update pic !

Progress update! Work is actively progressing as the cabinets have been installed at Pismo Beach.

Progress update in Pismo. Pedestals currently under installation. Allan on Twitter

Tesla contractors are like the post-office: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom (nor virus) of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"

 

[88911cs]

Wow. This looks closer to opening than the Goleta one does, and it's been under construction for months.

 

[AltLogic]

The crew finished installing the pedestals. Also a paving crew have replaced the torn up asphalt since the pics were posted on Friday.

That's amazing, what's left? Ours, Goleta, hasn't been touched for either three or four days.

 

[goldengate]

Great to see this one coming online soon on that busy corridor... now if they could just get the rumored "Kettleman style" SC up and running in Soledad it would be much easier to drive that route. I plan to check this one out on my next trip.

The dreaded PG&E Transformer Delivery™ (or lack thereof). It's the one remaining hope Goleta has for finishing first!
