Supercharger - Vergennes, VT

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

Thanks for the photos. I stopped by a couple weeks ago but was dumb and didn't take photos. Looking at the dispensers they look like v4 dispensers to me. Much taller than standard v3 ones. What do others think?

Look like normal V3 to me.

Here's a photo showing relative heights of a stall and a cabinet.

I think regular Tesla "0" stalls are taller than they look in photos. When they install stalls individually the cabinets are often on a slab so sit a bit higher.

You would notice if they were V4. V4's look more like the old Urban Superchargers than the V3/V2 superchargers.

/edit These photos are examples, they are not from the Vergennes site!

v4 UPGRADE. The previous site pictures showed PSU's with charging posts shrouded - undoubtedly v3's. This is a post-swapout for v4's, with wiring change probably also being done as v4 posts and v3 posts require different wire gauges.

Doh - never mind. Re-read the post. Sorry. Yes, this is almost certainly a v3 PSU site, not v4.

Can confirm v3 site, it's much clearer now... everything is setup, fencing is down, covers are still on, but I peeked... v3 for sure. 12 stalls in total, they were actively being wired up at the end of this week. At this point, I would be surprised if its not online in the next 2 weeks, probably sooner unless theres any grid-level stuff or permit/approvals that may still be needed before they flip the switch.

One stall is down off the curb on the ground? Maybe for some sort of trailer access, but not sure, never seen that sort of config before?

I expect that will be an accessible stall.

Any updates on this one ? We really need this before the total eclipse as traffic should be insane around that region.

There are two Superchargers near Burlington and another in St Johnsbury, both of which are in the path of the eclipse. I'm going up to East Montpelier which is at the edge, I have a friend who has a farm there. The Berlin Supercharger is next to Montpelier.

It's been idle for about 2 weeks now.. didn't bother to take a picture because nothing has changed. Everything still covered up. But all the fencing and all of that is down. No signs of any of the contractors trucks or supplies anywhere either. I suspect it's all done basically, but needs some sort of regulatory or perhaps the power company needs to give it's blessing to throw the switch on it at this point.

Any sign of a big green utility transformer? If yes, was there an electric meter attached to either the transformer, or one of the large white cabinets? Those would indicate power has been run to the site and perhaps it's in Tesla's hands to make the drive up to commission it.

Nothing that I could see, the actual Tesla transformer cabinets are still under cover/wrapped. But it looked like they were prepping an area a while ago on the other side of the parking lot facing Route 7 (likely where the power would be coming from), but nothing new there. Perhaps it is still waiting on the power company install the utility transformer/power aspect for the site. There is also a megawatt-level solar farm across the street from the supercharger location owned by the same property company as the supercharger lot/location. (Ferrisburgh Solar Farm - SE Group)

This site isn't open yet, but the Tesla findus map appears to have leaked some future info that this site may be getting MagicDock...

The transformer is in and in the process of being wired up. Nobody around working on it at the time I swing through.

Any progress on the installation? Is the wiring complete?
