Supercharger - San Jose, CA - Saratoga Ave (LIVE 30 Nov 2022, 12 V3 stalls)

[Benjamin Brooks]

1334 Saratoga Ave, San Jose.
Under construction. Couldn't find permit with city of San Jose though... *shrug*.
This center also already has Electrify America stations.

Found the permit under 1320 SARATOGA AV.

Appears to be 12 (v3) chargers.

Nice find! Hopefully mods can update thread title with these details.

Yet another site co-located with EA. I would have preferred it be located down the street at Westgate.

Agreed. That lot is kinda small. Westgate would have been a much better location. Nonetheless, there are lots of apartment buildings nearby with many potential Tesla owners. As if there weren't enough Teslas on the roads around here already...

Looks like construction done, probably waiting on PG&E / city approvals to turn on

Good! I stopped by there a couple days ago and the construction fencing was still up. There is a three stall EA station on the other side of the parking lot to the right of your photo. Two were in use.

Still think they should have put a bigger station at nearby Westgate Mall.

Still needs energized as of today.

Definitely waiting for PG&E.

An interesting aspect of this site is that only four stalls have the traditional "back in" style stall positions. The other eight stalls have the charging stands set outwards as shown in the previous posts' photo. Maybe better for eventual CCS support?

Still waiting for the transformer.

June 4th and still waiting for PG&E to energize. Anyone know what's the hold-up? Someone mentioned "transformer" - that could take them months. I'm happy, it's very close to me. Although I mostly charge at home.

PG&E does not prioritize the transformer installations for Tesla... clearly, the monopoly does not care.

I stopped by the chargers today and noticed not only are we waiting for the transformer, we're also waiting for the doohickey that goes behind it.

That additional "doohickey" is probably a distribution voltage junction box or disconnect.

The board stating that the Chargers are waiting for PG&E has been removed. Went in and plugged in... But no cigar I hope it is energized soon.

PG&E must have sent out a crew to remove the signage. No time for a transformer

July 11 -still no love... The chargers are just sitting there looking sad. Where can we get any information? More than two months since hard construction was completed.

I think we all know the answer here: P... G... and E.

This one is looking to be like another Burbank story (I hope not tho). Baby Burbank (8 V3 stalls-construction was finished back in December and up to this date, still waiting on the transformer/Burbank Water and Power.
These cases, I assume is because some major power transfer/routing of cables-power to the supercharger area needs to be done or something in that matter.
