Supercharger - San Diego, CA (Qualcomm / Pacific Heights Blvd., 12 V2 stalls)

[Cosmacelf]

I saw the conduits. They aren't for hpwc.

The location's decent, a few blocks from the 5/805 interchange. If the objective is to site the SCs to facilitate inter-city travel, it makes sense. I'd bet this isn't the last SC to be installed in the San Diego area.

Maybe somebody could have a chat with the crew on the site next week?

The supercharger crew is gone for a while. The larger project has moved on to the next phase, which is to reconfigure the lot. They were tearing out all the curbs, yesterday. I don't know how much info that crew will have. I don't expect the supercharger work to resume until most of the other work on the parking lot is complete.

Does this whole valley have a singular name? Calling the SpC or the valley 'Pacific Heights' seems confusing.

IMO "Sorrento Valley" is a better name.

As the OP, I agree, Sorrento Valley is a better name. I must have had a brain freeze when naming the thread - will try to get a mod to change the thread name to Supercharger - San Diego (Sorrento Valley)

Sorrento Mesa is a better term. This area is on the mesa overlooking Sorrento Valley. I can remember mountain biking the two tracks and single tracks up there before any paved roads were around...

 

[Cosmacelf]

You are correct, but no one knows that - everyone now calls that area Sorrento Valley.

 

[markb1]

I call it Sorrento Mesa, and I hear other people call it that from time to time.

Qualcomm, which is spread out all over the mesa, calls this campus Pacific Center.

I have a sneaky feeling that the twelve bays at this supercharger site will be pretty active. What would be the least busy time of day? I want to plan ahead. ;-)

Im glad to finally see a supercharger in San Diego. Sorrento Valley or Mesa are best. Pacific Heights works for me also but not for 95% of the rest of the world. The local restaurant chain is called: Karl Strauss Sorrento Mesa. We might as well be consistent and called it Sorrento Mesa. (Maps also refer to this area in more precision with Sorrento Mesa.)

I sent a PM to the moderator to change the thread title about a week ago, obviously no action yet. Let's focus this thread on the Supercharger itself, not the thread title. Anyone in the area want to take some updated pics?

My office is a mile from here so I'll swing by tomorrow to check the progress, if any.

I had a chance to check out the site for the first time. I'm still not convinced this is a Supercharger site. It appears this is a major construction project with number of phases being done by DPR construction. They build buildings not Superchargers. I have no proof. It's just a guess.
Thanks

And meanwhile this thread has lots of evidence, not guesses, that it is a Supercharger site. If you have any contrary evidence, please let us know. And yes, obviously, they are in the final stages of building a new building and reconfiguring an old one, and DPR is the general contractor overseeing that work.

If I get some time, I'll go there New Year's Day and snap some more pictures.

Note that the supercharger site is in "Phase 3B" on this map. The evidence is that the layout of the conduit doesn't fit with any other theories.

Agree. Looks like solar panels at the e in Phase in the snapshot.

I'm betting that's decorative concrete. The conduit is closer to the Ph in Phase.

Stopped by after work today. There wasn't much if any progress and I couldn't get close enough to take any pics. Plus it was raining. Based on pictures of other construction projects it doesn't look to me like a supercharger location. Just my 2 cents.
