Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

[dbfish]

Update - I have confirmation that the superchargers will be located on the north west corner, the furthest possible area from all other stores and entrances. This can be seen from the street during construction so will update again when equipment is on-site. It could several months away - the planning tracker (linked in the first post) still says the permit is under plan check for utility review.

I don't suppose the words inside your red box say anything relevant. The last line looks like "existing trees," but I'm darned if I can read the rest. Hoping for "Eight Tesla Supercharger stalls attractively shaded by existing trees."

Really?!?

It's not convenient to get through (Freeport Blvd) and isn't close enough to the highways at all. When I lived in the area decades ago, Land Park was a favorite hang out for the homeless and parking at the local college was a painful endeavor with the neighbors always complaining about the students.

Because the college is nearby, I would expect to have students (desperate to avoid paying the parking fee) to take advantage of the location.

Plenty of room along Florin Rd (near Sears especially but Stockton Blvd has all of its own "charms"), or near the current Ranch 99 Market (though vehicle break-ins are a problem).

Elk Grove makes so much more sense due to new housing / construction as well. IIRC, there's a Raleys both near the I-5 (and Starbucks) and near 99 (where the "other" coffee place is across the street from Starbucks)

Passed by on way to Oto's today and the whole area is surrounded by chain link fences, but the buildings do look nice...

I really wanted one in this area, fingers cross it's a v3!

Delta Shores would've made the absolute most sense

plenty of room
plenty of eaterys
right off the freeway I-5
perfect fill-in: manteca, stockton, elk grove, natomas

I'm thinking Delta Shores will still get one along with one in Elk Grove on the 99 side.

I agree - lots of space at Delta Shores and so convenient to I-5....

 

[SactoEVer]

Actually the chosen location is strategically interesting on a number of levels.

It is reasonably close to both I-5 and Hwy 99. The distance is not that far -- about 1.4 miles to either freeway. It's also fairly close to US50/Business 80 for those going to the Tahoe area -- about 2.2 miles.

It is going into the new Raleys parking lot ... This is very close to the brand new Safeway at Crocker Village. The developer of Safeway was strongly urged by the community to put in EV charging, but he held out for a gas station that the neighborhood strongly opposed. Now he has neither and Tesla has chosen to locate their charger at the Safeway competitor - Raleys. It remains to be seen whether Crocker Village will get any EV charging as phase two gets developed.

Tesla already had a prior relationship with Raley's, which has hosted superchargers in other locations. Placing the supercharger at the new store wasn't a statement about Safeway or their developer's choices.

Its about 1 mile in either direction down Sutterville to either 5 or 99/80/50. This is actually a pretty central location. Anything closer to downtown would have had issues with parking and higher lease costs.

Delta shores Would have been convient for I5 not so much for 99 travelers

from 5, i say it's a 5-7 min detour no traffic, 10-15 with traffic. From 99, easily 15 min detour with traffic, and closer to 10 min no traffic.

kind of far, in this day and age of supercharger buildout.

delta shores services the 5 perfectly.

they could build another one convenient to 99: say off power inn somewhere, or even galt or lodi would fill in the manteca to arden gap.

Tesla's updated map suggests there will be one near 99 in Elk Grove.

 

[Troy916]

That placement just means in Elk Grove, not necessarily right where the pin is.

 

[Black306]

Hopefully not. Elk Grove Blvd and Elk Grove Florin would not be a good place. 99 & Laguna by Best Buy or BJ’s Restaurant would make more sense.

 

[CuriousG]

I know that's not the exact placement but you can be assured that it will be closer to 99 than 5 though.

 

[CuriousG]

I was hoping more by Dutch Brothers just before the mouth of the Freeway heading north. Going east of Elk Grove Blvd is a nightmare to maneuver especially if you need to turn around. The traffic is horrid with single lanes going into Old Elk Grove.

Moderator note: this thread is about the permitted Supercharger location at 4700 Freeport Blvd, Sacramento. Please stay on topic.

Anyone who wants to speculate about other possible Supercharger locations in the greater Sacramento area is welcome to do so in this thread Superchargers in Northern California (location speculation) .

Thank you.

Update - no equipment on site yet. They are finishing construction of an overhang structure on the north side of the building which may be blocking access. Parking lot curbs and light poles are installed. Planned opening for retail is in April. Meanwhile, construction started already on the Elk Grove supercharger.

 

[jkoya]

Thanks for the update. I was going to drive by later this week and see if the chain link fences had been removed around the construction site of the shopping complex.
