Supercharger - Scotts Valley, CA (LIVE 30 Jan 2020, 16 V3 stalls + Magic Docks)

[Robert831]

Saturday morning 1/11 still no power. I got a picture of the label on one of the control cabinets. I think it services four chargers since there are four of these cabinets and 16 chargers. It says 250kW per post.

I am surprised to see that label is in English and French. I suspect that is so it can also be used in Canada.

Mais, oui, oui. Si tu vérifies le label ça dit que le cabinet a été fait à Buffalo, pas très loin de la frontière canadienne. jon jon..

Curiously, they're reworking the disabled access parking spots today (1/22/2020):

From the looks of things, I'm guessing there must be some requirement for these disabled access parking spaces to not have a slope and that they failed some sort of inspection. Note how this raised section cuts down into the middle of the neighboring stall.

This is what it looked like two weeks ago (1/9/2020) as they painted the lines:

I stopped by this evening (1/22). Though the chargers didn’t have power, I could hear the transformer humming! Apparently the site is all ready to fire up, and just waiting for final approval per the previous message.

 

[dgatwood]

Yeah. I stopped by yesterday, too. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

 

[Robert831]

I checked again last night. No power, but the lights were on. The new parking pad for the handicap space looks like it needs work. It has a steep edge that makes the third parking space totally unusable. Not sure what they have in mind.

My guess is that this comedy of errors to correct whatever issues were noted during inspection will go on for a while.

 

[Incredulocious]

Okay, they smoothed over the steep grade from the new concrete pad on the leftmost two stalls to the surrounding area with asphalt, including the neighboring stalls. And they've repainted the lines and markings.

This is today (January 29th, 2020):

It appears you only got 32kw. Was your battery cold? Or was it just charging slowly for some weird reason? Thx.

 

[Cheburashka]

His battery is almost full so that's why its slow.

Awesome news!!

I am really happy for the charger being there, will be there every couple days.

side note; appears he was at 85 ish percent so it could be getting full. Just hoping to get full v3 speeds out of it

 

[jwbro]

Still not on the map, but up and running!

 

[dgatwood]

It’s not even on the map yet, and there are three of us charging right now. I’m pretty sure this one’s gonna be busy.

 

[Mountian]

ICEing is already happening.

 

[dortor4ev]

NAH - that's not ICE'ing - that just the new 500 mile range EV BMW trying out the secret Tesla compatible induction supercharging - my fellow man would never be that rude.

 

[Mountian]

There are 5 or six Teslas charging here at any given time while I have been here charging for an hour. It is not even on the map yet. Damn this one is gonna be really busy with possible wait times.
