Supercharger - Skowhegan, ME

Looks like V3. As all the other TCan sites, that are waiting for pedestals and cabinets. Also no transformer yet. Pictures as of 4pm today. Beaten to the punch.

Nice pics, thanks. But you're wrong about the type. They'll be V2 (150 kW), not V3. In your pic of the cabinets' location showing the bagged wire loops you can see that there will be four cabinets. Also, in the picture before that one, you can see that there are 4 autotransformers (the small white boxes). 4 cabinets and 4 AT for 8 stalls means it's V2. And it's a bit hard to see because of the bags/wires, but a close look also shows the conduit stubs for the cabinets are in the V2 pattern.

Yes that would seem correct with the auto transformers. Thanks for the correction. Just hope they get done.

Well, all the underground work appears to be done.

The good news is that could do the rest in winter if they wanted.

Passed through on Tuesday. No change, which isn't surprising. I suppose the ChargePoint charger won't get turned on until the Tesla SCs are all done and ready, too. Pity; I could really use this now, and even a 50kw Chademo charger would be better than nothing while we wait for the SC.

The plugshare entry for the neighbouring CCS/CHAdeMO units has a photo which appears to show Supercharger pedestal installation in progress.

Just to be clear, the Chargepoint CHAdeMO units aren't open yet, either.

Just reposting the photo here. It’s the same guy who posted the first update, showing the SC under construction. Thanks @RiverBrick for notifying

Link to the PlugShare location in the post above mine.

And they’re operational! One of the DCFCs and both J1772s, that is. The rest of the chargers should be operational within 1 week per the Ioniq driver as all the Superchargers have been installed. Photos from PlugShare

And how very Maine, seeing those black bags over the Tesla conduit in the background.

Winter Is Coming. We'll have our first settling snow in Central Maine this evening.

Yeah, those bagged wires/conduit in the background of the first picture are where the supercharger cabinets will go when they eventually get installed. Odd that the hold up is for the cabinets this time instead of the pedestals. Regardless, based on that picture, it's not looking at all likely that the Tesla portion will be online within the next week.

Both DCFCs are working and the cabinets are on site! Photo from PlugShare

Plenty of patience here - just trying to plan a year-end road trip or two with crowd-sourced data

Really appreciate the updates.

The nearest Supercharger under construction is in Rochester, NH. That's also at a Hannaford and also fully equipped.

I will expect that Skowhegan, ME and Rochester, NH will be commissioned close together by the same traveling technician.
