I just drove by and the workers were still there working.
Thought about trying to plug in but doubt they’d have them on while work is still being done

Drove by around 8 pm on 17 July/Tuesday and the barriers were still up and the chargers still caution tape wrapped. 8 - (
This is about the SLOWEST activation I have seen or read about in a very LONG TiME.

From the pictures, the lighting isn't complete. The (anchor base) poles are up but the fixtures aren't. Here's what that'll look like:
The same goes for the signs. There was one sign I previously didn't notice on the permit application btw, which is the pole on the rightmost corner of the snap by @AMPd. Otherwise here are all the signs to be added:
If anyone wants to look into the charging structure, they can compare with this to see what's remaining:
There are also missing bollards (short vertical posts) between stall 1A/1B and the transformer. And last, "EV CHARGING ONLY" lettering should appear on the asphalt in at least two stalls, 6B and 7A (even though these are 30 minute general parking).

That’s good but not enough in my opinion.
If I’m not mistaken that area is prone to power outages during rain storms.
So it is 200 kW, allowing two cars to charge at pretty much full speed, but how many kWhs? It looks like 6 Powerpacks, so that would be 1,260 kWhs. Or enough to charge ~18 100s from 10% to 80%. (Assuming of course it is setup to work during power outages and not just be for peak demand shaving.)
How much do you think would be appropriate to install? (Both kW and kWh)
The purpose of the batteries is shaving the peak demand, not surviving a storm related outage or zombie apocalypse.

I was mistaken. For some reason I read that as 200kWh, thought they were only putting one powerpack in

Yeah, even the older Powerpacks were 100 kWh each. So something seems wrong with that number.

Yeah I’m very confused as well.
Permit filing doesn’t make mathematical sense based on what we know about powerpacks.
I’d stop by and ask the construction crew but I doubt they’d want to disclose any info
