Moderator note: Moved this post into the canonical thread for this Supercharger.

New Supercharger location coming to Santa Barbara. It is next to Big Five in the 5 Points shopping center near the corner of State St. and La Cumbe Rd.

@MarcoRP I think pin / status needs to be changed, yes? I've been waiting a long time for this one and can't wait!

@MarcoRP Looks like 16 concrete pedestal bases not 12.

It is 16. Permit started out 24, but we’ll take what we can get.

I pass by it on my way home daily. I'll try to stop by for a few photos but it doesn't look much diff than the photos taken above from what I can see on the street.

So is this across from the MacDonald's that came up with the Egg McMuffin?

I believe so

I'm pretty sure that is on Fairview Ave in Goleta. I used to live near there and remember the plaque on the wall commemorating it.

That’s Herb Peterson. Creator of the Egg McMuffin. A Santa Barbara legend. He owned all the Santa Barbara area McDonalds so I think the plaques were in all his stores. I grew up with his son David who now owns and operates them. Herb passed away a few years ago.

The location across from this supercharger does appear to be the specific one where it was first introduced, at least according to history as recorded on the Internet, e.g. McDonald’s Egg McMuffin Born In Santa Barbara

Update today. This is going to be a good location. Easy on/off access to the freeway.

With the exception of trying to make a left turn on to State street to catch 101 N or S. Safer to go towards La Cumbre and Hope for 101 N and S.

Guys working today think this will be up in about 2 weeks. Currently, there are 12 stalls up but there are at least 2 more pedestals without stalls installed yet.

Thanks for the update. I was just thinking I hadn’t seen an update on this one in a while, and I need to go check it out.

Coned off.
Everything looks ready to go, likely waiting for final approvals.
