Supercharger - San Mateo, CA - Hillsdale Boulevard (LIVE 5 Jan 2021, 12 V3 stalls)

[miimura]

Four EVgo stations have now been installed at this site. I assume they are CCS and J1772.

Those are CCS and CHAdeMO.

Progress! PGE transformer is in place and the lineman are working on the primary connection.

Drove by last night, looks ready to go!

Took the dog for a walk about today. Seems really close. A few touch ups to the pavement where they adjusted some of the curbs, and I would think a seal coat and re-stripe....then all should be ready to go!

 

[dhcp]

I also live right near there, I bet that one is going to be really busy, there are so many Model S and 3 around our neighborhood.

 

[DoItDiff]

Getting closer, but not quite there:
1. Some paving still needed along some (new?) curbing.
2. The Tesla slots still need their stripes, which apparently don't align with the old parking stripes. (The EVgo slots already have their new stripes. Go figure.)
3. The Tesla slots still need their wheel stops (ditto EVgo).

The Tesla slot next to the transformer is extra wide, perhaps for a handicapped slot. But it's not clear to me that it's level enough (this whole area is sloped). Hopefully they learned from Scotts Valley (which also has a sloping parking lot) and get it right the first time!

Progress continues this morning. The are regrading the Tesla area. The wheel stops are here and ready to be installed once the grading/paving/striping is done.

 

[jkingsle]

Looks like the grading is done and new asphalt is down. Striping sms wheel blocks seem to be all that’s left to the naked eye.

 

[jkingsle]

One step closer.... drove by and saw they were painting the stripes this morning!

 

[DoItDiff]

Stripes painted and wheel-stops in place. But area taped off and Tesla logos on the pedestals are dark.

They indeed leveled out the two handicapped slots, so the next few non-handicapped slots downhill have an extra tilt to them.

Site looks done but no power yet.

 

[DoItDiff]

Still not operational (Tesla logos unlit, charge door doesn't open). I don't hear any hum from PG&E's big green transformer. The adjacent EVgo pedestals still have their "Coming Soon!" signs, implying they're not powered up either.

 

[jkingsle]

Just drove by and there were a bunch of guys from Tesla working on it. Didn't stop to ask, but from the looks of it, it was some final connections and stuff inside the cabinets.

 

[burninator]

more tesla dudes there, today. hoping very soon!

 

[dhcp]

Been checking this one almost daily, sure looks done!

 

[DoItDiff]

And the Tesla tease continues. The EVgo pedestals are lit up and operational (a non-Tesla car was charging), but the Tesla logos are still dark and the charge door doesn't open. I was hoping Santa would bring some electrons!

 

[jkingsle]

Just drove by and the Tesla team was there working on it again today!

 

[jkingsle]

Funny thing though is that this charger is not listed on the revised Tesla supercharger list that was just released that shows the current and planned chargers!

 

[jkingsle]

Charging here now. Lights are on. One other car charging. First stall I tried didn’t work. The next one did. Not in NAV just yet.

 

[igorlib]

Yes, I was in that car . 11 from 12 are working for now, the charging speed is a bit below the average.
