Saw a photo on Facebook that the Wawa at 3637 34th St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33711 looks to have about 8 cabinets under construction. The permit was applied for back in April so this has been slow progress, but it appears the underground conduit has been laid and signed off on. I was unable to pull much from the permitting site but if someone else wants to take a look, Click2Gov Building Permit Application number: 20 - 4000480 Parcel: 34/31/16/71420/001/0010/
You might want to specify Florida in the title. The Russia one is expected to have a Supercharger soon, although not yet officially announced. Wawa is spawning Superchargers fairly quickly.
I found a few permits online. Since Click2Gov seems broken, there isn't much more detail than what's provided. The permit numbers match though. permit date - May 26, 2020 permit type - Electrical Work contractor - Invalid permit value - $7.2K Valuation - $7,200.00 Permit Type - Building Permit Status - Triage Permit - # 20-4000480 - BCOM 00 Subtype - Electrical Client - D&A Brittingham St Pete Llc Building type - Not Applicable Business owner - D & A Brittingham St Pete Llc Permit Fee - $700.00 paid to St Petersburg, FL License type on building permit - GENERAL CONTRACTOR
Supercharge.info thinks its in Russia or somewhere. Shows up when you drill down by "Any Region" and "Europe".
Instead of Click2Gov, maybe we should be looking in Click2Party. In Russia, party is looking for you. (Thanks to Yakov Smirnoff).
Thanks Marco, I found this additional description: Tesla proposes to Install an Electric Vehicle Charging station at Wawa consisting of (2) V3 SUPERCHARGER CABINETS, (8) V3 CHARGING POSTS, (1) MASTER CONTROLLER, (1) SWITCHGEAR ASSEMBLY, and (1) UTILITY TRANSFORMER. And: Install 1500 amp rated MLO MDP w/2-700 amp 480 volt breakers feeding 1-each Tesla charging cabinet. Each charging cabinet has 4-350 amp devices feeding 4-250 KW DC charging posts. Install 30 amp 277 volt circuit to site controller. Larry
Hi Paul, Thanks for the information. The permit was issued on June 16, 2020. If things so well this may go into service next week. Larry
FWIW, the Moscow Tesla Club has several private Superchargers, not listed anywhere with global sources, including Tesla. With one Tesla official Supercharger now beginning to link Moscow-St Petersburg-Finland there will be more appearing soon. Oops, nothing to do with Florida.
Went by a little while ago. Everything appears to be ready to go. There are white canvas Tesla bags covering the charging stations. Perhaps we are waiting on the bureaucracy?
St. Petersburg Supercharger Station discovered under construction. (Public) If you scroll down to near the bottom of the article linked above you will see that as of December 28 we were waiting on the utility transformer and meter. Did you happen to notice if they were installed today? Larry
Hey Larry, The answer to your question is that the Tesla hardware appears to be installed and ready to go. The utility provided hardware typically identified by large green boxes is no where to be seen. I live on St Pete Beach so this is right around the corner for me. Keith
Or you could stop trying to direct traffic to your site and just list the useful info in the post - like a decent human being... just saying.
By the way, if the post above mine gets deleted for “OT purposes”, I am never posting in the Florida forum ever again.
Larry’s message specifically says “you will see that as of December 28 we were waiting on the utility transformer and meter. Did you happen to notice if they were installed today?” I believe anyone can see that request without ever clicking through to his linked article. Thus I see no problem with what he has posted. Just as Marco has a great site for his “supercharge.info” listings, Larry provides a great resource for information on Florida specific sites. I hope they both will continue to do so.
Did I tell him to shut down his site, or did I even say that his site did not have the "useful info".. All I asked is for some human decency and to actually put the info about a supercharger in to the post instead of just the link to his site. It is shady, click-baity and just not cool. This is not a one-off occurrence, this is his modus operandi!
Hopefully this is not the case. We truly appreciate both of you guys always providing updates about new installs and service centers. Thank you!
No you didn’t, and I never said you did, although you apparently think he is doing something “shady” by keeping his work product at his site versus sharing it here. Your “clickbait” accusation also is interesting, as my understanding (possibly wrong) is the benefit of clickbait is to increase ad revenue at a website. I’ve seen a ton of ads on this forum, and have never seen any on Larry’s Tesla Florida website (or on the supercharge.info site either). You have an opinion and stated it. I simply responded with my opinion and certainly did not intend to make any personal attack on you. To the extent my post read otherwise, I apologize. I suspect many will agree with your opinion, and maybe a few will agree with mine. Time to return to our regularly scheduled program re a new St Pete supercharger location. This exchange between you and I typically would be moved elsewhere, but this will be my last comment. In the interim, I look forward to having another Supercharger available in my general area. I often take one-day fishing trips to locations for which a round trip might be at the limits of my 2016 P100d depending upon weather and traffic speeds, and it is nice to have multiple options for a quick top off to get me the final few miles home and complete my charge at home. Regards to all, with hopes for a safe and happy 2021.
