Supercharger - Truckee, CA - Donner Pass Rd. (LIVE Aug 2014, 11 V2 stalls)

[mspohr]

Looks like they're installed and hooked up (on temporary skids):

However... they got red tagged!

I think I found the building permit but this says planning approval required so this will need to be sorted.

Yikes, hopefully that is sorted out before my Tahoe trips this winter

I used the Truckee supercharger on Friday and the 4 temporary stalls are operational. Still a red tag on them, but they work, for a total of 10 stalls at this location.

Stopped there last week and all operational.
A Tesla mobile mechanic was there working on a Model S.

Stopped here yesterday afternoon. Protip: It might be hard to get close enough to the stall if it just snowed. Plus be ready to be walking in snow/slush.

I was here a couple of days ago. It's plowed so as to make several spots unusable. Plus two spots were ICE'd when we got there.

We have had a lot of snow. Impressive pile. It will likely get moved in a few days

I lived in Tahoe one winter. Unlike most places where it snows, it can just dump a ton in a super short amount of time. So as the poster above said, hopefully in a few days.

I stopped by today. The two temporary skids have been removed, and normal stalls are being put in. One car was charging, but I got the impression it was in the way. Most of the other stalls were blocked off.

I stopped here today to see what was happening. Listed as "Reduced Service". They have replaced the four temporary chargers on stands with five permanent stations. They have steel plate on the ground but some of the stations are open. I asked the workmen where I could charge and they told me to park next to the other grey car (I must have been there just after the photo was taken). Looks like they have a few days work to fill in the trench and clean things up. Should have 11 functioning stations when done.

@ecarfan construction started, nearing completion?

Should be done this week.

Stopped by today, looks like it's just about done.

They still need to fill in that trench from the transformer to the stalls. Hopefully this can be done quickly.

Thanks for the pic. The white paint on the cinder blocks DRAMATICALLY improves the looks

Anybody else notice how many of the charging stations are troubled. Today 2a would not accept a connection for instance and more than one does not maintain KW’s and runs the numbers up and down several times a minute. I hope the work there brings the bad ones up to standard.
Something else I noticed about Truckee and no where else and its true for both sites, but more prevalent at the Brockway site. It’s constantly being iced by up to 3 vehicles and most often the same ones every time, while at the same time there are no issues parking in regular parking spots.
I have left notes indicating that the action is just like someone blocking their service station, but it has no effect.
Truckee is the only place that I notice that phenomenon

 

[EVCarGUy]

more prevalent at the Brockway site.

Yep. There are two problems. The spots nearest Brockway road itself are shaded, so the same vehicles park there every day since they know there's no penalty. The other problem is that this area is the pickup and drop off for some rafting companies, and the lot fills up with rafters who then park in the tesla spots.

According to California Vehicle Code 22511, property owners with designated EV charging spaces can tow a vehicle if the vehicle is not connected for electric charging purposes. Law section
