Nice. Well done with the photos! Looks like Salmon Arm is a little bit ahead of Vernon. I wonder which other stations are in action right now. Has anybody noticed any Flo charging stations at this Vernon location? There seems to be 3 Flo DC fast charging stations at the Salmon Arm SC's.
Judging by the posts are different at 3 parking spots, I’ll assume there is 3 FLO DC 50KW charging stations coming.
Yes it looks like 3 x Flo chargers in Salmon Arm and I guess likely to be 3-4 in Vernon. It was wise for the government to make this mandatory in order for Tesla to put in their Superchargers. Poor non-Tesla owners have to rely on extremely unreliable BIG-OIL Petro-Canada and Shell stations for fast charging. Those are down all the time while BC Hydro and Municipal (Flo + ChargePoint) stations are up almost 99% of the time. So good to see a mix of EV charging in one spot ... so great!!
Wow, 4 Flo chargers in one spot ... that is great. Well done with all the photos guys. Hopefully one day in the future once all the ICE cars and trucks are gone, we won't have to worry about forest fires and smoke anymore. Well done Tesla, Vernon, Govt of BC and Canada !!
I find these things fascinating, so I am going to bombard you with more photos. 
The cabinets are all open, so you can see the transformers and other innards.
First, the Tesla Superchargers:
Next, the flo CCS chargers:
Here's a view along the row of Superchargers, with the CCS chargers beyond. There is a curve to it.
Lastly: cable being laid out, and a photo giving you an idea of how serious that cable is. (In case you're wondering, I am just reaching over the fence to take the photo).

Are those aluminum wire? There are cheaper since copper wire gets stolen a lot...I find these things fascinating, so I am going to bombard you with more photos.

Well done @PoweredByRain that is some awesome photography. That is some fascinating detail into the inner workings. I too was interested in the aluminum wiring bit. It's amazing how they're able to pipe in so much juice. So cool, again, well done!
It does not look copper colour to me. I think you're right, I think that's aluminum wire.
There seems to always be someone working there, even on the weekend at 8pm. Here's a similar set of pictures to the last set, but this time the wires are pulled through and, most importantly, there is an important addition: GARBAGE RECEPTACLES!
I think this is where the utility transformer will go:

And this is why Tesla is so far ahead of the competition ... their devotion and hard work, pumping out these Superchargers, working 7 days a week. Such professionalism and proficiency is truly amazing. Thank you @PoweredByRain, your photos are excellent!
