Supercharger - San Jose, CA - Holger Way (LIVE 7 Nov 2020, 14 urban stalls)

[AZjohnInCA]

I don't think that's a concern except perhaps on Black Friday. The chargers are in the corner of the parking lot that's farthest away from the entrance to Target. I shop there every once in a while and I don't remember ever seeing cars parked there.

If they locate the stations far away then this will work. The EV Only parking spots I have seen filled up by ICE'd at Target is a section that is close to the front doors. I even saw this photo that @bmah linked that sows the same ting:

Pedastal are installed but no transformer yet. Expect about another month....

The charger cabinets look ready. No idea what the small white boxes on the left are. They also installed a few Chargepoint L2 chargers on the opposite side.

Those are boost/buck transformers, used to make minor adjustments to the voltage before going into the chargers.

(Learned that here a few years back.)

Bruce, you bet me to it. And that is the extent of my Supercharger architecture knowledge. As us developers say, "that's a hardware problem".

I drove by them yesterday and the work looked complete. Any word of anticipated opening month?

 

[Randy Spencer]

Was there a Transformer Pad with a bunch of capped off pipes there? A bunch of the Superchargers near me are all waiting for the Transformer to be installed by PG&E.

Looks like this, this photo is from the Oakland one

 

[Zorg]

Any update? Should be done by now.

 

[Dag]

As of today, still missing the transformer.

 

[Zorg]

And now?

 

[Dag]

Still missing as of the 30th.

 

[Zorg]

Newark was like that. The transformer took months after the build was complete, and then another few weeks after the transformer was there before being turned on.

 

[Dag]

Stopped by today. Underground work in progress.

 

[Zorg]

Any progress?

 

[Dag]

I checked on it 1 week ago with no changes. I will try to drive by sometime this week.

 

[lensovet]

still basically looks the same. can't tell from the earlier photos whether the transformer pad was poured yet, but it's there now. still no transformer though.

 

[Mase408]

I drive by this weekly, still not open.

 

[Dag]

Transformer is installed but holes are still present.

 

[Randy Spencer]

I didn't see any holes exposed in the photos you sent

 

[lensovet]

Looks exactly the same as it did before.
