Last week I spoke to a representative from the El Dorado County Air Quality Management office, he and I discussed the future of Electric Vehicle charging around the county. He said that when he last spoke to the Tesla representative, they had not pulled the plug (sorry for the pun) on the installation of the superchargers in both Placerville and in South Lake Tahoe. While there were some issues with the location they chose for Placerville, due to an old gas station that was located in the area, they had not canceled that contract. However, they did put it on a lower priority. There were also issues with the sites that Tesla looked at in South Lake Tahoe due to property owners of the parking lots. It seems Tesla is still interested in a supercharger in both sites, they are just not high priority locations for them right now. So as far as the county knows, those sites are still planned for superchargers, but not in the near future. It does appear that the supercharger for SLT will be closer to the casinos than to Heavenly. I was told that they were looking at a parking structure that was on city property, close to Heavenly's stateline gondola. But that is only speculation at this point.
Very informative, thank you!!! I do wish though that SLT would be prioritized but from what I've read, getting there and back from Folsom isn't an issue so with the L2 options at the casino garages, it isn't all bad.
