Supercharger - Tukwila, WA

[khaufle]

Did you notice if any of the cabinets had anything handwritten on the wrapping? At some of the other Pac NW installs, they have delivered equipment for multiple sites being built by same contractor to this first site. Then the contractor transfer it to the second site when they are done with the first. Not sure if Samammish or Everett could fit this scenario but it has happened in the past. While 16 stalls sound great, it wouldn't surprise me if it was 8 for here and 8 for Samammish or Everett.

The trenching suggest 16 stalls. Two rows of 8 back-to-back.

Cool. That is hard to tell from the picture. It is likely 16 but just wanted to throw it out there that other nearby sites had equipment for multiple sites delivered.

I can double check tomorrow (Wednesday) but I looked back at the pictures that I took (other than the ones I posted) and I didn't see any writing on them.

This would be amazing! I am always in that area so it would be perfect. The mall has some big parking areas that could be used i'm sure. I never see any cars at the EA charger in the Target parking lot.

Also good for SeaTac

Yes, they are EVgo chargers that have the added CHAdeMO adapter boxes. I've used them.

I no longer live in the PNW but I put video of one of those setups here in Nor Cal up at EVgo reportedly adding Tesla plugs to their DC fast chargers.

Note for those that don't know... there are two 50kw Tesla chargers in the Cellphone Waiting lot.

From SeaTac Cell Phone Parking Lot | PlugShare, it looks to be the same type of setup including the same/similar model of BTC Fat Boy DC FC.

EVgo has general info on these at Tesla Model 3, S, X & Y Charging with EVgo Fast Charging and Seattle Tesla Charging Stations | Tesla Charging Stations.

I used a Sea-Tac EVgo charger again last week, though I didn't bother to do a PlugShare checkin. Once again had to properly click the CHAdeMO plug into place. Checked and corrected it beforehand. The rest of the charging session went fine. May be the last time I use it as in the future, the Tukwila Supercharger can play the role of "cell phone lot" too.

Went back to see if there were any other markings on the cabinets but nothing was on them except the printed Tesla logo info. Good progress being made it seems.

I am staying in this area for about 3 months and this supercharger would be super helpful. It's a ghost town for Tesla chargers around here. I was in this parking lot today not even realizing they are building it.

I'll post updates

Who wants to break the bad news to him?

 

[Shmesla]

Are these not going to be chargers?

 

[Araman0]

They will be, but I think the joke is that this could take longer than the three months.

 

[Shmesla]

Oh I just happen to be here for 3 months this time, not expecting them to be done. I will be frequently in the area for the foreseeable future as I now work out of Sea Tac.

Give or take…

 

[Shmesla]

The site has been empty of work ever since I saw it the first time. Just a bunch of stuff still boxes up.

 

[Araman0]

Might be another casualty of the ongoing concrete strike.

 

[ArmandRose]

Passed by earlier today and they were actively digging. No big update but at least progress.

Any chance you grabbed a picture? Then it could be marked as under construction.

I'll be in the area again tomorrow. I'll be sure to snap a picture.

 

[Shmesla]

I'll be over there as well today. Maybe we need to all rally around it and protest to hurry up

 

[ArmandRose]

No active construction while I was there. Did notice that the backhoe is not there anymore.
