Supercharger - Lewes, DE

[Brown4141]

Fence is back up (and they took off the screening so we can see better), and 1 truck and 1 piece of equipment is on the inside. I saw 4 guys working. Just not sure what they are doing.

Zoom -> enhance -> zoom -> enhance

Where is CSI when we need them?

 

[Brown4141]

Well, I think we can say that this is it. The trenches are dug and it looks like they are tapping into the pole to get power. Oh, and don't forget the big wooden crates that they are unloading from the delivery truck. Looks like there will be a pull in space too on the south end.

So the question is; Is it the traditional supercharger or the new urban chargers??

Drove by it today around 11am. There were guys working on what appears to be another gas station maybe next to the wawa? But no one working in the fenced off supercharger area attached to WaWa

You need to read thru the whole thread The area south of the WaWa is a Delmarva substation expansion, not a gas station. Oh and they were definitely working today, was watching them off and on thru the day on the traffic cam

Odd there was a sign being put up that looked oddly shaped like a gas station sign

Work being done on the weekend (Note open container and worker in trench):

The sign is for the buildings that are behind Wawa. It's my understanding that they may be putting an entrance or exit in between Wawa and the Substation. A large excavation company called miss utilities for that area last week.

Pouring concrete pads. And it looks like all the underground conduit is in. You can see the stubs sticking up where each charger goes. I will be there Friday. I will get some more close up photos.

Take a pic of the sign on the fence, curious what it says and can't really make it out, heh, maybe if I E-Mail DelDot they can zoom in on the area for a brief period...they were really responsive when I emailed them a couple times...

Is that bird poop on the traffic camera lens?

Yes, from a Blue Hen!

Stopped by today to take a peek through the fence links. The place is really busy as you can tell from the traffic cam and the WaWa was swamped. Two places of interest nearby, behind the Wawa is Rehoboth's Cinema Art Theater and further down is Lefty's Alley and Eats, a large new bowling and arcades place.

Did not wave to the traffic camera

If there was any doubt...it's definitely a Tesla Supercharge under construction... They're starting to appear at WAWA stores in key locations.

So what's the other side of this say? Can't make it out in the traffic camera...I'm suspecting WaWa "something something we're still open during construction.." but curious if it mentions Tesla...

Thanks for the updated pics!

The sign just says that wawa is open during construction.

Blah dreary today but looks like they have things covered up and started compacting/grading to redo the landscaping. Unfortunately the transformeris behind the switch gear and out of view of the traffic camera unless we can get them to zoom in. Looks like some stalls are coming out of storage and possibly being mounted today:

I wonder if they're adding regular EV charging stations along with Tesla Superchargers?
