Supercharger - Salem, OR

[CharleyBC]

Really need more in Southern Oregon, particularly something between Grants Pass, OR and Springfield, OR.

Ashland would be excellent too. It does a large tourist volume, so in addition to being another waypoint between Mt Shasta and Grants Pass, it would serve folks who come to Ashland for a week and toodle around to wineries and hikes and such. I now live in the area, so it wouldn't really help me much (charging at home), but when we used to come here as tourists, charging was not impossible, but not fast or convenient.

If you need help figuring out installing a home HPWC, drop me a line. I worked with the city’s permitting, and it’s not too bad.

Thanks, my parents live in Corvallis. I have been begging them to put in a charger and they wont....even though my brother is an electrician down there

I charge up at Panera

I installed 2 16kW HPWC's at the house, subpanel, etc. Was quite the job. Well worth it though.
If you run into a bind, send a PM. Located in Timberhill area.
As an alternate there are several destination chargers on 9th st.

Did a little reconnaissance today. There was a section of the Target parking lot to the west that was designated for locates and in that section was an area along the curb where all the vegetation (mostly ivy) had been killed off, i'm guessing that's where the pedestals will go. Yellow is the locate boundary, red is the area where the ivy had been killed off.

Blackstone has worked with Tesla in the past so this is very likely it.

Yep, that's the locate request for the superchargers. You can see that it was Blackstone who called for it in the record I linked in the opening post.

Does this count as construction so to speak?

IMO, no.

I can’t actually see “the record” and I think it’s because I’m in Canada, but thanks for verifying it

Strange. Visiting it from Canada shouldn't affect whether the page displays or not so far as I understand. Maybe one of your browser extensions is interfering with it? You could try disabling any adblockers or such protection extensions on that page and reloading it.

Just did that and it worked! Thanks!

Took this pic from an FB group. I'm guessing this is enough for a construction cone on supercharge.info?

Yep - looks like the exact same spot as the permit dot!

UPDATE: I found a pre-digging miss utility location request from earlier this month and a ready to issue electrical permit for the Salem supercharger. Looks like construction has either started pretty recently or will do so imminently.

Salem Search and Status -- "INSTALL TESLA SUPERCHARGE LOCATION"
Permit #: 555-20-000231-ELEC -- "TESLA CHARGING STATION WITH PLAN REVEW"

What: Tesla is soon going to install an unknown number of superchargers in the parking lot of Target.
Address: 3790 Center St NE, Salem, OR 97301

GPS: 44.939006, -122.988094

Very cool! About 2 miles from my house. That location is actually outside the city limits, I hope the Sheriff's Office will be helpful in dealing with trucks/etc blocking.

Maybe I missed this earlier in the thread.
Has someone figured out if we are getting V3 or Urban SuperChargers at this location?

I'm sure they'll get right on it!

OMG OMG OMG!! I'm WAY too excited for this. ;-)
I know we have only been waiting for 3 years or so that Tesla has said "by the end of...", but it seems like longer.

My parents live close to the hospital, maybe you can go over and talk them into installing a 14-50 nema

 

[Kiwi_Bred]

Getting closer to completion.
