Doesn't seem to be a lot of progress being made so far.

Absolutely massive tangle of conduit. BIG conduit, like 6 inch? Those trenches are deeper than they appear, especially the big dugout with I-5 in the background. I hope there is a plan somewhere for services, especially a restroom.

I would assume you can go to the bathroom inside of the Holiday Inn where this is located.

Not the best photo, I was to lazy to get out of the car in the heat, but a good amount of progress in the past week. Looks like just about all the bases have been placed.

Just accidentally met @CaseyK when I stopped at the free DCFC on the other side of the hotel and went for a walk. Hadn’t even thought about this SpC location until I saw the workers

#3 and 4 are back on. I couldn't juice my 3 on either of them but several non Teslas were able to.

I stopped by the Holiday Inn the other day to check out the progress on the 44 station Supercharger in Redding, CA. It's coming along nicely, and thankfully this will be a City of Redding Electric operation, so hopefully it will get a transformer sooner than PG&E is currently rolling them out. Anderson has been waiting months for one, as did Cottonwood before that. I took this last Friday afternoon, and the crew was working hard on the site.

How were the CCS chargers on the other side of the hotel doing? Still blacked out?

The transformers already were installed about 2 weeks ago. The circuits to connect the site to the city power grid were also installed about 3 to 4o weeks ago. They are down next to the sidewalk. Last Thursday it looked like they were doing some wiring work on the charging cabinets maybe getting ready to run the wires to the stalls.

If you count the stalls and come up 3 short know that there will be 3 stalls on the walkway next to the back of the building up where the charging cabinets close to the freeway.

Looks like the Redding Hilltop site might be waiting to pass inspection.

#3 is the only one working. my 21 LR Model 3 can't charge on it. #2 was the only one that worked for me

Not much new details to add, but I thought I’d post some pics of the site to show the state of the project. All photos taken Oct 8, 2023.

For those that do not know it, the site is behind the main Holiday Inn building that faces Hilltop Drive, and somewhat adjacent to the rear building. In this pano, Hilltop Drive is frame right:



Here‘s a picture taken from behind the rear building, looking south. The northbound lanes of Interstate 5 are just out of frame, to the right.
