Supercharger - Primm Hub, NV

[PKMAN]

Not sure why city chargers. Maybe these are paid by the casino, hoping slower charge = longer stay?

Based on user reports from other locations, the ones on that mobile trailer can charge up to 150 kW. They aren't normal urban superchargers even though they use the same charging post design.

I bet you a 6pk these are for the upcoming holiday trailer (Memorial weekend)

Well it is Tesla so timelines have a lot of -ish connected to them

 

[PKMAN]

BTW, can someone fix the map location? It’s suggesting that it’s on the other side of casino’s parking lot. However the fenced area and the urban chargers photos I took are right by existing chargers.

supercharge.info status is based on actual construction, not Tesla predictions.

Sorely needed! That’s quite a few cabinets. How many do you count?

I think they’re adding 40 stalls so whatever the math is on that

Update

instead of urban they should've added v3's on this site too

 

[PKMAN]

While always good to have more stalls, this location is currently not desirable. The outlet is all but dead. The casino reek of cigarette smell; my wife took two steps in and that was it for her. Starbucks is across the street and very expensive; about the same as locations within Vegas casinos.

Whether going to or leaving Vegas, skip this location if you can.

The trailer with the Urban chargers is most likely temporary solution for the holiday weekend, Tesla does this on the regular for highly use areas/routes. I don't think they'll stick around too long as the cabinets for the expansion of 32 chargers as you mentioned are already on site so the construction is imminent.

Also, having the chargers here might bring in a couple new businesses that want to earn some money off of the captured audience sitting there for 15-30mins. I know we usually stop here if we want donuts on the way out of Vegas for the weekend, Pinkbox has a location here.

Leaving Vegas you can most definitely skip Primm but it might behoove you to get a quick charge here if you're headed to LA because you can then skip over Baker or Yermo (getting busier and busier!). Hitting Primm if you'd like will soon get you all the way to Barstow (huge expansion almost complete there btw) which has an outlet mall that's not dead.

Borrowed from a member on the local Vegas FB group, Antonio D. Construction has begun!

Never forget that at the start of the pandemic the management nitwits at Primm Valley Resort closed their casino (OK, fine, that's their business) but also their lot and blocked access to the Superchargers — deploying highly trained professional armed guards (sarcasm) to make sure nobody got to the chargers. It took days for them to decide that moving the cones back a few feet in one corner of their lot probably wouldn't put their gambling license in jeopardy.

Nce! 40!
