Tesla looks like they started all the PNW locations on that list. Lacey and Medford both have permits or construction going right now...

And there's no Targets anywhere outside of Medford in Southern Oregon. That's why we don't see a Roseburg/(Sutherlin)/(Green) coming soon...! I did think the Tanasbourne location was an odd one to move on in Oregon (before I-5 expansion) but this relationship with Target makes it make sense...

Stopped by this afternoon and looks like they’re getting close. No workers to ask when it’s opening. Noticed they have a couple chargepoint chargers in addition to the Tesla chargers.

Also there are now two sideways Tesla chargers on the end.
Not much change since Thursday, but there is a massive branch that is now is the way.

Thanks, @jpbroad ! I'm happy to see the utility transformer vault in in place. Fingers crossed that means the directional drilling is done, as well. I'll be even happier when we see a big green utility transformer sitting on that vault. Depending on how long it takes the utility to get the transformer it needs, and then install it, that can be a long wait. Weeks to months. Recent example: Stockton CA, which appears to have been waiting for a transformer since late March. Hopefully PGE can outperform PG&E.

Some concrete curb work done today. Confirmed that the directional drilling is done. The underground conduit from distribution line utility pole to transformer vault is in place. Hopefully it won’t take a long time for PGE to receive and install the new transformer, and then connect it to the distribution line. Until that happens, this will just sit there looking pretty.

Does anyone have any idea on when this one will open?
Soon. But in all seriousness, even under the best of conditions, it takes a few weeks to build a SuperCharger. Then factor in issues with electrical inspections, delays from the utility, contractor availability, etc it can easily take months. Some (rarely) have taken over a year...

Not quite ready but close. I stopped by this morning. All of the plastic fencing has been removed. However the individual chargers were not lit. A PGE crew was there. I briefly spoke to a PGE worker. He said that they are doing metering to ensure that it is functioning correctly. He also said that their work should be done by 10/28/20 & there is a projected opening date of about 11/1/20.
