Supercharger - Sand City, CA (LIVE 17 Apr 2021, 12 V3 stalls)

[AlexHung]

Incredibly, there seems to be a big green PG&E transformer in the background of the middle picture (partially obscured by a pedestal in the foreground). Some sites wait for months for their transformer.

That’s the same transformer in the third picture.

What I think is the transformer is where the empty transformer pad was, across from the enclosure visible in both the 2nd and 3rd pictures.

A few pic. No activity, transformer in place, meter must be inside locked enclosure. Signage ready - guessing Tesla inspection when electric ready to be turned on. Site looks confusing, 2 Chargepoint serving 4 slots. Starbucks makes this very active area. Hwy 1 at top of dunes in background. Easy on/off of freeway.

No, not lit.

So is this V3? or urban? I assume the former... at some point we need to update the thread title.

Good morning world

 

[goldengate]

I'm going to check it out this week if I can. It seems like it's always empty - people haven't discovered it yet?
what is all the stuff behind the construction fencing? A Tesla nightclub going in?

Even better, Target night club

Target is doing some renovations, so I assume this is their jungle mess of inventory.

Yeah, don't get caught cutting between the containers - they get moved and you may wind up backing out.

Looking at the Google street view from 2019 it's interesting to see the shopping center also added some nice lighting when the chargers were installed... I plan to visit this station tomorrow and will try to take some photos to add to the collection here.

Great visit today.... busy already so I hope they have left room to grow.
Starbucks is right there - I took one photo from the Starbucks so you can see how close it is.
Restroom easy - no key required. Easy on / easy off the freeway.

Is this a busy charger? Does it give good kWH?

It's the only one between Salinas and Monterey.

Salinas is always quiet, and I've waited in line to get into the Monterey one before.

From what I've seen this one is not "busy" ... Not sure if it's 250kwh or not, but I can't imagine it wouldn't be. Choose it from your car to see the specs/deets.

It’s busy at the weekend. I drove past it last Sunday and it’s 3? 4? free stalls.

 

[tivoboy]

Thanks. I’m going to be down that way AFTER the Carmel Pebble beach car week, and don’t have charging where we’re staying. So, need something reliable and fast hopefully, where I can pickup a coffee and wait for 30 minutes to charge a LR M3 to ~85%.
