Supercharger - Tulsa, OK

[alexgr]

Is the AEP/PSO transformer been installed?

That I don't know. It looks though that. Could it be the white box to the left of the six Tesla boxes in picture 2?

Typically they are green short boxes that are separate from the White "Tesla Cabinets"

There is a small green transformer on the ground as of yesterday when I drove by but there was also a larger concrete pad with exposed conduit that was unfinished. I'm guessing based on size that the transformer that is there is a small one for auxilary control power and a larger transformer is going to be installed on the big unfinished concrete pad to provide the big power these chargers will need but I'm just speculating.

Pi day (3/14) update: There was a crew cleaning up the site and doing some wiring work. The big concrete pad is still missing its hardware (big transformer?).

The Transformers are on site. And at least two guys were wrangling big cables this evening at about 7:45. Getting close!

Fences are down, still no power yet

Drove by after work and saw a tech in a black Model Y and another in a Model 3 working on the cabinets. I also saw what looked to be a transformer down the hill with a bunch of dirt/mud dug up so hopefully we're close. My wild guess is they have grid power and are provisioning the chargers.

Should be operational tonight then.

Think I saw the same tech in the black y at the OKC supercharger yesterday replacing a couple of charger cables on some of the chargers

looks like one of the V3 cabinets is having issues

If it isn't hailing I might give them a try after work

The description is incomplete: "; plus one other random stall isn't working. Surprise!"

At 12:15 pm today, there was a group of technicians with a black MY working on the chargers.

 

[alexgr]

It works.

It is not on my car's map yet. So, I preconditioned somewhat navigating to Catoosa supercharger. I saw 160 kw which is good for not optimal charging.
Also, it does not charge any money yet. Come for free charging tonight, I guess.

Come for free charging tonight, I guess.

Interestingly, the car didn't say anything about the cost of charging, but later I found the charges billed to my account. So, no, it's not free.

This is the first new supercharger in Oklahoma in 6 years and 8 months. That is the longest gap for any state.

EDIT: Actually Rhode Island has it beat, but that is a tiny state!

Hopefully adding capacity in OKC doesn't take another 6 years! We've also got Henryetta on the schedule for this year so hopefully that further serves to end the trend.

Edit: I also tested the chargers this morning and they seemed to be working fine. I wasn't the only one there either.
