Supercharger - Sudbury, ON

[MarcoRP]

Looks like lunch will be A&W when opened!

Look carefully: there's a Subway and a McDonald's in the Walmart

A&W is fine by me!

Now let's get this SC wrapped up quick shall we... Driving up there in 17 days...

For what it's worth, I stopped by today but did not see any significant changes, and there was no crew working at the time. I don't plan to be in Sudbury again any time soon, so... if someone else could take photos that would be greatly appreciated!

If you're willing to walk about a km, there are about a dozen restaurants near at the intersection of Regent and Long Lake Road - Thai, Japanese, Italian, Burgers, whatever. And there's a really crappy, mostly vacant mall.

@sandpiper - How's construction going? They should be pretty much done the heavy lifting by now, unless there was some sort of delay.

I'll check later today. As of last week there was still a big mess.

Thanks - the original photo that you posted was exactly three weeks ago.

 

[sandpiper]

I was by yesterday. It was too dark and snowy to take a good photo. But it's still a mess; the surface is still torn open and none of the concrete has been poured. It will be a few weeks yet.

What's new here?

I don't own a Tesla but I am the founder of the Greater Sudbury EV Association. I will be going over there today with one of the construction managers and will take some pictures for you guys!

 

[lexcyn]

The guy did not show up but I managed to get some pictures and information. Concrete and asphalt has been completed and all equipment has been delivered - just waiting for scheduling from Tesla to come up and finish installing, then connection w/Greater Sudbury Utilities. If each of these boxes have 2 SuC in them than it's 8 total back to back.

Each crate has one Supercharger cabinet within. Each cabinet serves 2 stalls. Are you saying there are 4 crates?

Yes there are 4 crates.

 

[lexcyn]

Yes there are 4 crates.

Sorry - there are 4 crates for the actual stalls, it appears there are only 2 cabinet crates.

Your first photo shows 3 crates labeled "DC Supercharger" which contain the white Supercharger cabinets, so there are at least 3. The grey cabinets are switchgear.

OK yes you are correct then, 4 crates of cabinets and 2 crates of what looks to be transformer parts, with some other smaller misc. boxes.

Thank you for the updated photos! That's great. I'm glad to see the Tesla equipment is on site.

I am 99% certain it's to be 8 stalls. Take a look at the photo I posted when the asphalt was ripped up, it shows 4x2 parking spots.

Haha yes I saw that, I took a peek under the tarps and there are indeed 8 conduits running under the concrete so it will be 8 stalls.

Maybe the boys from Letterkenny can move their produce stand beside the SCs and insult the big-city slickers that stop for a charge.

Would certainly discourage the degens from upcountry from hanging around and being a pain.
