Supercharger - Santo, TX

[Talmen]

TDLR filing for a Supercharger at the Circle H fuel stop in Santo, TX along I-20. Just west of Fort Worth.

I think there is a typo on the address in the TDLR filing though, the address in the filing doesn't seem to exist. I think they meant 87125 I-20, Santo, TX 76472 and NOT 87121. The filing does list the Circle H station by name.

This would be great along with the Hamilton TX one to travel Hwy 281. I will take anything west of Ft Worth since not much charging options. Family visits in Weatherford and Brock TX I charge using basic 110 outlet.

 

[Talmen]

Yeah, looks like we are finally getting some charge options in West Central Texas. Predominantly along US-281... but it does look like they may be expanding a bit farther out west with the Early, TX (Brownwood) location. The next logical step that direction would be San Angelo.

Somebody should visit the area and check on this. While the Hamilton site was being commissioned today, and I was chatting it up with the crew, it was mentioned that Santo has just begun construction.

Thats on I-20 so hopefully more likely for someone to notice. I won't' be out that way for about a month myself.

Looks like they have started trenching and are underway!!

We took my daughter back to Tech yesterday. We didn't stop but I could see from I-20 that they had installed the pre-fab supercharger units. I couldn't tell if there were 8 or 12 chargers total. The stands were still wrapped in white material. There was still a lot of work going on around the units.

Sorry, that all I could get going 75 on 20. Seems they are moving fast on this one too.

 

[RickParker]

If you can see the white switch boxes, that's goof for 4 pedestals.

 

[WaxJack]

I am pretty sure I saw two, so at least 8 chargers. Was going too fast to tell for sure if there were more. Either way, it appears the pre-fab units are already there.

Would be really cool if someone could go get some pictures but it is out of the way for most people.

Four modules = 16 stalls. Which makes sense, as it has to serve traffic on both US-281 and I-20.

Work progressing on the transformer pad. . .

I went inside the Circle-H store and asked the lady at the counter. She told me—several times, emphatically—that she is "not a fan". She's heard that a charging station "exploded". (I wondered if she had gotten confused about reports of hydrogen fuel stations, a couple of which have actually exploded.) She didn't like the electrical stuff being so close to the gas pumps. And then she opened that, "It's all a conspiracy, so the government can shut down the grid and control where we go."

 

[thestral999]

Excellent. I was going to get my sister in law to get pics since she lives in weatherford / Brock area, but you got ahead of it. Thanks for update. I’ll definitely use this one a few times a year.

Wow. More than I could see. That is great news!

Not if you generate your own electricity

I have to listen to garbage like this almost daily. The most recent being that EVs will bring down the grid.

Just tell them to call Joe Biden

Bless their hearts

 

[Brandon Wade]

I guess the counter lady doesn’t know that the gas pumps run on electricity

 

[thestral999]

Any updates on location.

 

[cudental]

Just stopped by. For all intents it looks done but it's missing a transformer/connection.
