Its the first (and only) time for Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Utility, but hopefully, being small, they will act promptly to install the transformer like happened at Truckee.

A small utility can move quickly, but may not have the inventory of large transformers on hand. Hopefully someone has placed the order for the 750 kVA or 1000 kVA transformer already!

Nice photos..Thanks! The pad already there is the pre-poured pad for the utility transformer! That's a good thing. Maybe it is a sign that the utility transformer will arrive earlier than other supercharger sites and be hooked up once the utility cabinets and superchargers are on their (yet to be poured) pad!! Nonetheless this is great progress. Post a few more photos if you have them. It's great to see this site coming together!:smile: Looks like southern California got a little rain! NOW THAT REALLY IS A GOOD THING!!! Another observation is that this location stretching out in two directions has plenty of room for future expansion if/when necessary! Great!!

That't the pad for the Distribution Center and the Supercharger Cabinets, the hub of a Supercharger Site!
Thanks for the pictures.

I can tell you from personal experience, Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Utility will have that live in a week or less from when it's signed off by the inspector.

I feel a "bit" obsessed with seeing Superchargers go from fence to functional . . . love these halfway pictures. I also appreciate all of the searching and intel you are providing Cottonwood!

The vertical rebar in place and the cinderblocks on site means a nice enclosure. (ref: picture above, post 84) I prefer the cinderblock enclosures rather than the wood. Cinderblock enclosures will hold up over the test of time/weather conditions and add a more solid look to supercharging sites.
More progress, Thursday Noon, below.
There is still digging going on at the eastern end of what I assume is the HV extension. The trench from the original RCMU vault has been filled in, and vaults are in place on both sides of the roadway, but perhaps they still need to tunnel under the roadway to connect the vaults and reach the transformer pad.
The roadway is on the left in my picture looking from AMC into the parking lot on pg 8, Oct 26.

Just visited the site tonight. I am having trouble uploading pictures from Tapatalk right now, so will get them uploaded soon.
The good news: the supercharger cables are now in place. This looks like a supercharger site now. It will be really nice with the landscaping and trees too.
The bad news: this parking lot was completely PACKED! We couldn't find a place to park, not an official place anyway. We had to park parallel to the dumpster so I could get out and take some pix. Not a parking spot in site. Of course it is Saturday night, and Intersteller (awesome, must-see movie btw) and Big Hero Six opened. So that probably played a factor in jamming the parking lot. So I hope these spots are not screaming to be iced.
