Supercharger - Tacoma, WA (LIVE Mar 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

[Tacoma Dave]

By cabinet you mean pedestal? Maybe so,etching underground is preventing the large concrete base from being placed in line with the others so they rotate it and move it into the stall, still as a back in spot.

Yes pedestal. It was too early in the morning for me to think clearly.

 

[Tacoma Dave]

I got a closer look this morning. There are actually two pedestals that are perpendicular to the others. They are on opposite sides of the others. Very weird design.

Here is another angle from Thursday around noon.

Means it was likely too tight to have them all in line in the middle. There are other sites with some perpendicular and some inline. Usually all grouped together but not unheard of.

They have been digging out by the street. So, it looks like they are making the power connections.

Took better pictures tonight. I am baffled by these perpendicular chargers. I've never seen anything like this at any of the supercharger stations I've been to. Can anyone elaborate further on why they would be this close together in this configuration?

Looks like there will be charging on both sides. I think it will be fine.

Wait til it’s done and striped and it will make sense.

As far as I can tell this is the setup for this supercharger.

Just drove by. They are repaving the sidewalk, and I think they are paving the area around the superchargers. I will try to get a better look after work or in the morning.

 

[Tacoma Dave]

I went by this morning. I think they repaved the sidewalk, but couldn't tell for sure- it's under a tarp. They definitely did not repave the charging area yet.

Probably to allow for both pull-through and normal back-in charging is my guess

Doubtful. Otherwise they’d have made all the stalls that way. Likely some underground obstacle in the way of placing a precast concrete base.

 

[Tacoma Dave]

I went by this morning. They have now removed all of the fencing and were leveling the gravel around the pedestals. I assume that means that paving will happen soon.

 

[Tacoma Dave]

They have paved. Getting closer…. So, probably 3 - 6 months.

I hear they want to let the asphalt sit for a year before they seal coat it. Probably will paint parking spots after that.

 

[Tacoma Dave]

Workers are on site working on the wiring for the transformer. They also have a crane on site. No sign of the transformer itself though.

More progress.
