I'm mad that Rancho Cucamonga won but - we should be next! 
Between these 2 new ones - life in an 85 is going to be MUCH easier now. If we could get something in northern utah slc or ogden and san diego and then benson arizona. I would not even have anything to complain about! LOL No cost driving - KICKS ASS!

Just so everyone doesn't get confused. It is on the east side of the freeway. Near the Mcdonald's. The pics show Wiskey Pete's in the background - but that is actually across the freeway.

Rancho Cucamonga happened so quickly, compared to some other SoCal superchargers. Primm will still probably be finished way faster than San Juan Capistrano was. (Hopefully we will never again see a supercharger that takes that long!)

Post 96 was on the 15th (shows no UT). Does Primm NV have its utility transformer? Will there need to be bollards around the UT? ref: Cordes

Lakes AZ.
The main transformer for Primm is going to be located on the front concrete pedestal to the east of the wood fencing. At last look for me personally it wasn't there. This site has been ready for wire and the main transformer for almost 2 weeks. That's pretty much all that is left. That and testing. The transformer is almost square and about 5' x 5' x 5'

That is a common mistake. The large green rectangular box inside the Equipment Enclosure is the Distribution Center (a large circuit breaker box). The transformer will be outside the Equipment Enclosure and will probably have cooling fins on it. Take a look at this post from Rancho Cucamonga for a good picture of the transformer outside of the Equipment Enclosure: Supercharger - Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Page 15
Here is an annotated picture of the Blanding Supercharger Site that I have posted many times to show you what the pieces look like:

It shouldn't be a big deal in an 85, unless you have a headwind. I've done the trip a couple of times in my 60, albeit a bit slowly.
Barstow is an EASY trip in the 85. Top off charge or close to it in Vegas and anything short of a 20MPH head wind and you can drive 75+ Just watch your power consumption up the stateline hill. I've done the trip 4x in the last 2 months. Easy mode - don't even sweat it. But I am still annoyed at how long this one is taking. We know it's NV Energy to blame. They need to pull hard line HV cable and hook up transformer.

The Footings at Prim I think are for two Street Lamp Poles. The Footings at Barstow look like they are for a more substantial Solar Canopy or Awning. Still waiting for that mystery to play out...
I think you are correct. When I first saw photos of the footings at Primm, I could not imagine them supporting any significantly sized structure. If one was to also take into consideration the high winds that can hit that area, that would add to the stress of any structure.

It's possible, however as of 18:55MST it is still not displaying on the cars supercharger map. Hopefully we will get a report soon as folks go to Las Vegas for the weekend
