Supercharger - Vancouver, WA

[PLUS EV]

It's possible that the cones are there to prevent ICEing. But it definitely could be something else. I know I'd be tempted to move a cone and charge if I were there!

FWIW I do like cones as an anti-ICEing measure, but I think each cone should be put directly on the parking lines so it's still relatively easy for Teslas to park while also sending a firm message to the ICE-holes that they should not be parking there.

The Tesla logos didn't look lit up in the last photo posted.

Thursday 12/20 5:30 Light poles up, but not on. Cones still in stalls. Not ICE'd, but shopping carted!

Thursday 12/21 4:00 Cabinet open, didn't see a service van (Tesla employee in a Tesla?). Cones still up.

Friday 12/22 4:00 No change. Cones moved and ICE parking due to Xmas madness.

Thank you for the updates! I really appreciate them.

Headed from PDX back to Seattle tomorrow and I'm super low...too low to get to Centralia. Is Vancouver actually operational? It's unclear to me in the posts. My alternative is to get up early and drive to Sandy and back!

From everything I have read no, it is not yet operational. It isn't listed on the web site, and nobody has reported the nav in the cars showing it yet.

I'm in PDX. You are more than welcome to come charge here and have a cup of coffee or two while you wait. We're pretty friendly

That is very nice! We in Council Crest, I'm on hold w Tesla now trying to confirm Vancouver (I also saw on their website downtown PDX due to open this month?). I'm plugged into my inlaws 110 at 3 mi/hr...12 miles and counting.

We're in North Portland off I-5 right on your way. Totally happy to have you.

Tesla just told me that Vancouver is NOT officially open, although there "might be some people who have been able to charge there." He said the tesla.com/findus page is the current and best resource.

No lights on the superchargers, cones just moved by Xmas shoppers. I'm pretty sure it is not operational.

Super nice to offer! I just dropped it at Hamptons Inn, charging on 30 amps overnight should do the trick, 17 mi/hr. Will hit you up if my plan fails!

Check out plugshare.com. There are a lot of places to charge around Portland. You should be able to at least find a 220V somewhere. There is always the Woodburn supercharger south of Portland, but I wouldn't think it would be worth it unless you're already on the southern part of the Portland area.

This one has been "knocked back" to construction status on supercharge.info for the time being.

Navigation just sent me here with 50 miles range remaining... None of the chargers appear to be working yet...

Boo!

 

[Joshker]

I'm surprised it's in the navigation. Yes, still coned off with ICE cars parking in many of the spots.

 

[IanK]

It's still offline. And I can't get the blink chademo station to work. Great. Livin' the ev dream, baby!

 

[rpo]

It's showing in my navigation right now with one stall. Not one available...just one in total. So maybe there is one operational? Good luck figuring out which one if that's the case! You'll look like a crazy person trying one after another.
