Supercharger - Temple, TX

[brkaus]

Waco is a complete cluster with all the construction. Gonna be that way for a while. Best to avoid, which Temple Buc-ee's will allow.

Just left Waco. It was easy headed from Dallas to Austin. Exits open and both u-turn lanes under the bridges were open. Piece of cake.

Just pulled into Bucees. They are already digging. And working at 5:45pm.

I was in Waco last weekend, and it looked like the I-35 construction was done. At least, coming from the south, I drove from Temple to the Waco SC and didn't hit any construction. The north bound lanes were all open.

Interesting.. I had a bet with someone all the construction between Dallas and Austin will not complete before 2048

Don’t worry, they are working at the i35 east/west split and I 35e north of the split.

Lots of construction NW corner of parking lot

Edit: The location linked is technically the CCS site. I'm sure PlugShare will fix and correct their links eventually.

They must have just started. I stopped at the Temple Buc-ees on 11/27 and there was no signs of any construction yet.

48 stalls? Maybe more stalls than urinals?

I mean it makes sense when you look at that gap between Austin & Waco. This will ease traffic in the Waco superchargeth that already started working

The temple bucces is almost done they have started working on the location

Great! I always wanted to see a picture of them transporting those pre-fab V3 units.

 

[Guacahummus]

Here's another. The color of the cab is different and the straps are also different, so I think this is a different set of PSUs.

 

[AudreyHTX1]

For 48 stations they are going to need 12 of these pre-fab units!

A thought occurred to me. Bucees FW @ 114 is just across the way from Texas Motor Speedway.

Having a SC there will be quite useful for open track days.

Status as of Saturday, December 17, 2022 - lots of equipment installed. This is just the Interstate 35 side and there are more chargers on corner street side.

 

[Electroman]

Anything think this will be ready before New Year

 

[Guacahummus]

Could be. The city permit is already closed.

 

[brkaus]

Wow. That would be great. I really need it on Friday.

Daydreaming.

Daydreaming.

Agree.

Is the transformer placed yet? They did everything behind the curb, so there is no parking lot work required.

Considering the 24 stall SC at Buc'ees in Katy is powered by a 1500kVa transformer, this location could likely have 2 transformers.
