I couldn't care less about getting a supercharger in downtown proper. If they just put superchargers at the malls on each side of the town, they would work for all parties; people travelling through the city, people travelling to Seattle and back, and people who live in Seattle. Almost no one lives downtown, and many of those that do don't have cars. What I'm talking about is Northgate and Southcenter which both have plenty of space and then hopefully squeezing one into Bellevue somehow.
Anyways, this location does stink. And the fact that it isn't 24 hours is a huge negative. I remember when I first started following this stuff envisioning a FREE 120kW supercharger in Seattle. That was back in 2015 and it was "Target opening 2015!" back then. The concept of urban superchargers and superchargers in pay garages didn't exist back then. So obviously the fact that this is coming 4 years later, 72kW in a non-24 hour pay parking garage is highly underwhelming. I can't say I'm surprised though.
