Supercharger - Vancouver (#2) - CF Pacific Centre parkade

[Vancity-Tes1a]

My guess would be a gate with a ticket. Not completely sure.

Here are some more progress pictures:
Thanks to Colin Hay!

I'm in town and decided to swing by The Robson St Tesla store and ask the friendly guys there some questions. I was told that this new station would be Canada’s largest charging station (possibly 28 stalls).

I went out to check the construction for myself, and I got in trouble with the security for climbing the fences but I think it was definitely worth the photos.

Edit: I counted 18 open (smaller) boxes ready to wited up and 6 slightly (larger boxes) which could possibly mean 24 stalls?

Wow this is gonna be HUGE! Also, there’s supposedly a Supercharger going up in White Rock at Semiahmoo Mall

Thanks. Keeping my fingers crossed.

You could call the mall to see if they say something. If I call from Quebec, they’d immediately get suspicious.

I called and customer service and they didn't know anything. I emailed the Property Administrator. Just waiting for an email back.

About Superchargers or the construction in the lot?

Both.

I forgot to post that I got an email back in this thread. Apparently Superchargers are not being installed at the Semiamhoo Mall. Unless it's a secret.

But why build this huge supercharger in Pacific Centre when you need to pay an arm and a leg for parking?

I know so much for free Supercharging.

Majority of the parking in downtown Vancouver is pay to park anyways :/

Maybe BC should have an EV exception for things like this. Hmmm. Perhaps free parking for EV’s?

Both of the downtown locations (Burrard and PC) are, I think, $3.50 per half hour, which is pretty extreme even for downtown.

At least Burrard has no gates so you can drive in and out without paying...

Drove downtown today and I thought I would pass by again to check the construction progress.

-On Level 2 parking

-Tesla Urban Chargers (22 Stalls)

-The Stalls are 1-11, A&B for each number.

Don’t like that some of the chargers are in a slant. Great for door dings. At least it doesn’t look like it’s slanted for very long.

I think that is stall 10B. (On the far right) They didn’t put up stall 11B yet because it is very slanted :/

Looking at some posts from the thread dedicated to that location, people have been ticketed

I still don't understand how this charger will get much use when you need to pay an arm and a leg for parking.
