Supercharger - Rossford, OH

[Crew Dragon]

The permitting process is underway for a new Supercharger in Rossford, Ohio! Like a number of others in Ohio and Michigan, it will be at a Meijer's store. This location matches the address in the Tesla data leak last week on their site. The permit says that it will be located on the north side of the property near their fuel station.
This store is located just off of I-75 and is also very near an entrance/exit to the Ohio Turnpike. On the site is a KFC, Sonics, Five Guys, Deets Barbecue, etc.
The permits have been filed and looks like there is approval (at least as I read this). I don't see any copy of a detailed plan submittal by Tesla as I've seen in posts for other SCs.
(Information found on CitizenServe website which has all the permits for this county: Wood County.)

Does this mean it gets a blue dot now?

An 3+ month update to report that nothing has changed. There has been no physical activity at the site to date and there have been no updates with the permitting process. No detailed plans or layouts have been filed.

Any update on this location?

 

[Crew Dragon]

I drove around the location, a Meijer's store, a week ago and saw no signs of construction at all. I checked the CitizenServe permit website 2-3 weeks ago, there have been no updates on permitting since the fall. No site plans are on file.

Supercharger - Northwood, OH

A change in plans! After many months with no progress at the Rossford Meijer's location, I did a little more checking and found that there is a new permit for a Tesla SuperCharger at a Meijer's store in Northwood/Oregon, Ohio. This is on the other side of Toledo from Rossford. I think that it...

I drove by the projected area today and it is all fenced in. The area fenced is what I would expect for SC site. A crew was digging near a power transformer. I asked a worker what the project was and all he said was "utility work." With Tesla filing new plans for Northwood (the other side of Toledo), I thought this site was a dead end. Maybe there will be a SC here after all?

 

[JamesEarl15]

Oh snap

 

[Crew Dragon]

Drove by the area today and it is definitely shaping up to be a SC location. There were 12 preformed pedestals there (see photo), and a lot of large diameter conduit. There were holes and trenches dug for the equipment. None of the big Tesla deliveries there yet.

 

[Crew Dragon]

Drove by today and there were a number of workers busy installing the PVC conduits in the trench where the chargers will eventually will go. One of the contractors noticed my Tesla slowly driving by. With a big smile on his face, he started waving at me and pointing to the installation. I gave him a big thumb's up.
Nice to see workers that are as excited about the coming EV life!

Went through yesterday, and it was a very active construction site! The pedestal bases for the chargers have been set, two Tesla charging cabinets are in place and two very large reels of power cable have arrived. The permitting web site is showing that the underground electrical has passed inspection on 6/14/23.
No transformer on site yet.
I did manage to get a picture, but I think that maybe I was noticed. Maybe? (I was not in my Tesla at the time.)

Towers are up now! Coming along nicely

 

[Crew Dragon]

Nice progress. 12 stalls all with charging cables attached and ready. There is even mulch behind the stalls!
Unfortunately, there is no transformer. You can sort of see where it will go in the photo below. Look for the yellow bollards and orange cones in the background around an empty pad.

 

[Crew Dragon]

Went by today. Several contractors were busy making terminations in the power cabinet and the other cabinets. Signage is up at each of the stalls.
Unfortunately, still no transformer.

 

[Tdohar]

Coming along nicely!

Today, I went to check things out: There was a paving contractor there redoing the blacktop in front of the pedestals. I talked to a worker who said that he thinks "they" (Tesla?) are waiting on them to finish to complete the project. He said they should be done in a week, or so.
There is still no sign of a transformer, so I don't think the paving is going to be the final hold up.
Last week, the underground electrical inspection was shown as complete on the Citizenserve web site. It said it ready for the utility now.

Newer stations seem to be more centered in the stall to allow left or right side access for charging.

 

[Crew Dragon]

This week's update: Contractors are all gone. Fencing and Porta Potty are still there. Paving and landscaping that was being worked last week is all done. Still needs some paint stripes. Most of all it needs A TRANSFORMER! (And I guess a meter). There is a nice empty concrete pad to drop place one.

Drove over today. Still no sign of any transformer. By the way, once this supercharger is up and running, Tesla Owners Club of NWO is planning to host a meetup here. Search Facebook groups for Tesla NWO for the group with those details.
