Supercharger- Seattle, WA - Meridian Ave N (under construction Jan 2024, 12 V3 + L2)

[ImScotty]

Getting to this supercharger is a bit strange but doable. What did throw me for a loop is how this supercharger is not near any amenities. Even during business hours it may be hard to find a restroom at this location.

This place is high priority, though. Check out the five guys digging. (pic from this afternoon)

They’re making good progress. There is a ton of charging demand in this area.

Taking a break, apparently. Pics from just now

Yeah I drive by this site frequently but it's always at night and usually rainy so I don't bother taking pictures. The only change I've noticed in recent days is additional "boxes" showing up on the site. They are still concealed but I suspect it is the switchgear and or cabinets. There had been one obvious cabinet still in shipping packaging all along but there will obviously need to be two more for a 12-stall site. It isn't clear to me whether the new "boxes" were from a new shipment or the result of the container being unpacked. I've never seen inside the container, but it's been on site for a while.

I swung by today. Nothing going on since PLUS EV's visit.

Drove by last night and it looks like a bunch of the underground trenching and work leading to the pedestals has been ocmpleted. Still don't see a transformer though. And the pedestals, cabinets, and switchgear all need to be put in place. Nice to see some progress at least.

 

[PLUS EV]

The cabinets and switch gear are now in place.

Waiting for pedestals, transformer, meter, and clean up (still some piles of dirt). Also possibly parking stops and bollards, but those are kind of optional these days.

Striping and bollards are in place.

Another one waiting for Seattle light. Could be months.

Northgate, Ballard, Shoreline, Burlington, and a bunch of others in western WA, all waiting for transformers?

At least Blaine is not waiting on a transformer. Maybe that's waiting on utilities.

Most of those are missing V4 charge posts too. Could be both.

Drove by last night and there was one handicapped parking sign (could have been there from before but it looked new) and one "ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING ONLY" (or something like that, didn't get the exact verbiage) sign that had been erected. Wouldn't be surprised if they were erecting the rest of the signs today.

Still no transformer and a big pile of dirt in the general area where I think the transformer will go.

waiting on Transformer and V4 posts.

Still waiting on transformer and v4 pedestals.

I think the plan is to build a small museum around the bollards, signs, striped pavement, cabinets and light construction equipment so that citizens of the 22nd century will be able to view what the transition to electric transportation was really like.



... No changes...

Or just a monument to the terrible logistics of Seattle City Light

The pedestals are on site.
