Supercharger - Poncha Springs, CO

[Solarman004]

The online permit search for Chaffee County CO has been down for the last two weeks. I called the Building Department today and was told that they have the permit application for the Poncha Springs Supercharger, and it is under review. The permit has not yet been issued.
Good news for the US 50 corridor!

This would make it easier to ski monarch, I know they have a destination charger in the parking lot, but it's only 1 and it's a long drive from the springs.
I know Loveland and a basin recently got over a foot of snow, looking forward to ski season!

I forgot to mention, thanks for doing the research Solarman004!

I agree about the destination charger at Monarch Ski Area. I used it twice last year but it was always a gamble that it would be available. I can't make it back to Monument, or the SC in Colo Springs without a charge in my 75D.
My Plan B was dinner in Salida and charge at the distillery. But this would make for a very long day.
I called the Monarch operations manager last year and thanked him for installing the HPWC and EVSE.

Did you happen to get a specific location?

I found the Chaffee County building permit status online. It was submitted 10/3/2017. It lists the address as 6250 Hwy 285 which is the Sinclair station on US 285 in Poncha Springs

@BlueShift , Can you add the Poncha Springs location based on @enniplace 's message above?

 

[Solarman004]

Great find,@enniplace. Thanks.

@enniplace , the chaffeecounty.org permit search is back up. I looked at all the Oct permits and a search by address. I can't find the permit you mention. What website did you use to find the permit?
Thanks.

@Solarman004 , Go to the Chaffee County Building Department website. On the left hand side, under “Department Links”, click on “Commercial Plan Review Status Report October 4”. That takes you to a a form “Commercial Submittals October 2017. At this point in time, the Tesla Charging Station is listed, second from the bottom of the form. Let me know when you find it.

Here is a snapshot of the form.

Glad to hear this news! A Poncha Springs Supercharging Station will knock more than 40 miles off my trips to Denver, each direction. Also, US 50/285 is a lot more fun to drive than I-70 and more scenic.

@enniplace, Thank you! I was looking at approved permits. This is consistent with what the Building Department told me on the phone-- the permit is under review, but not yet approved.

 

[enniplace]

@Solarman004, you are welcome. We can now keep our eye on the status and see when it is approved.

I'm pretty sure I've found the permit for the Tesla supercharger listed on the Find Us page for Poncha Springs. It is Chaffee County building permit number 10060424, which was submitted to the county on October 3rd with a project description of Tesla Charging Station. The location is the High Valley Center at 6250 US Highway 285, which has a small store, "Pub & Grub", bike rentals, and 2 gas pumps.

From Silverthorne to either Farmington or Santa Fe will now be possible!

Already quite a bit of discussion about it here:

Supercharger - Poncha Springs, CO

Although this might be a better location for the Poncha Springs thread.

 

[enniplace]

Poncha Springs permit has been added to supercharge.info today.

 

[emupilot]

Sorry I didn't look in that other location for a supercharger thread. I'll ask the moderators to delete this one.

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

If you searchengine the name listed on the permit you see he's the owner of the business.
Google Maps puts the address where Supercharge.info has it, but that address is the address of the business and it's on the eastern side of the highway. I've emailed @BlueShift to ask him to move the blob as well as put this thread as the Discuss link.
