I took photos on the weekend. It probably still looks the same. I think they were bringing in some dirt, grass, and trees to put around the chargers.

I'm thinking about this location between Vancouver, and Seattle Tesla could have at least put the 120kWh chargers due to the high volume of Teslas in this region. I can already see a ton of owners using this stop. Urban chargers are fine, but I don't think 12 are enough. In the future, I bet this location will be ideal for some sort of ''EV'' meet and greet.Yes, most of the time. But long weekend traffic diverting on and off the #1 to get there will be a hassle and a crawl -- on those days at least. The traffic can crawl right to Abbotsord on long weekends, but widening is taking place. It seems to me that a spot closer to the highway, without the hassle of getting on/off at the bridge would have been better for travellers. You need to take the Surrey exit even before getting on the bridge eastbound to get to this one -- so you need to cross a lot of lanes coming from HOV. Doing that on a long weekend from Vancouver seems like a hassle when one could have been put right by the highway a bit further out.
It's a great spot for me though and only a few minutes from my office.

Google Maps is among the worst sources for information on whether or not a supercharger is open. Not in the nav, not a red dot on supercharge.info, not open on tesla website, not mentioned being open in this thread.

Wait for a second... On Tesla's Supercharging map there is no Surrey, BC location. Could this location be Burnaby, BC? Burnaby is like a 20-minute drive from Guildford Town Center. I think the same thing happened with a charger in Wasgnhtion. Wenatchee, WA was going to have a charger and then next Leavenworth, WA had one. We will find out soon enough.
Leavenworth - Wenatchee is a 30-minute drive.
Surrey - Burnaby is a 20-minute drive.

I remember when the first supercharger was built in Hope. After construction was finished, it took another 4 months or so to have the power turned on. That was sure frustrating -- looking at them wrapped in plastic for months while charging at 70 amps across from the Blue Moose. Now we get them turning up at locations not listed (that even Tesla Vancouver does not know about) and people expect them to work immediately -- even before construction is finished. That's progress!

I see 11 Superchargers in the photo so there may be 1 more that we can’t see in the photo but I definitely count 11.

There are definitely 12 urban chargers undergoing construction in Surrey, BC.

The rental fencing was removed yesterday, so I tried out the chargers. Pressing the button to open up the charge port didn't work, so I presume there is no power. I recall in Hope and Squamish they put plastic on the chargers until they were hooked up to power, not so at the Surrey SC.

Aw sweet! He found the switch!!
So I have a question for those who have charged at these newer semi-super chargers. After the initial large current with the 120kw supercharger, once it ramps down after a car is 40% SOC or so, it drops down to say 70 kw charging. If you then hooked up to one of these new 72kw chargers would it charge at 70kw? or would it be a lot less?
In other words does the 72 kw mama charger charge at a lower rate thoughout the whole charge? or just at the beginning compared to the 120 kw papa charger?
