Supercharger - Warwick, RI

[Tdreamer]

I don't think there have been any changes since the last report on January 13th (transformer in place, waiting for a meter). Seekonk has had two visits this week from National Grid MA to connect the transformer to the poll. As of mid day today, they were still working on that - it's not known if they installed a meter there before they left. I would assume National Grid RI would have a similar installation process. So... "soon".

Any updates on a "go live" date?

I keep driving by these places and plugging in to see if it works.

You can actually see the missing meter at Neon in Warwick. I drive by almost everyday and notice it missing. "Soon" is the appropriate answer

Always a good indicator things are not working when the pedestals are dark too. That said, Seekonk got power this afternoon and the stalls (7 out of 8) are lit. But the meter is still missing and the site is not active (verified via an attempt to charge). Soon…

How we looking for updates for this location? Havent been able to get out to Warwick lately. WIll try later this week.

 

[ShibbyRomes]

Not yet. Seekonk is up and running and on the app for a few days now, so that's a good sign. I saw a utility truck parked in the spaces in Warwick and got excited, only to find out it was a plumbing truck ICEing. Lol I am going to drive in tomorrow morning to check again. Hard to see from the street now because of the snow piles.

 

[JaeTheDev]

I was aware of Seekonk, which is awesome. Warwick would be "awesomer" though, for me at least. HA! Soon! I got a feeling! HA!

@JaeTheDev - Do you have no home charging?

I have two. That being said, I own a digital marketing firm and operate in three states. Im all over the CT, RI, MA area, sometimes all three, daily. I also stay overnight in the Providence a good bit. I live in Westerly, on the CT border, so a good, valid SC in the areas I frequent the most, would be good for me. Onto why this SC is important to me, seeing I assume that's your real question.

Warwick is an area Im in at least 4 times a week, visiting clients, etc., and the closest SC is East Greenwich as you are aware. That being stated, East Greenwich STINKS. One, or two are always broken, the amenities while charging are trash, it gets filled up quickly, and is the slowest SC within at least 100 miles radius. The greater Warwick area is in desperate need of a new alternative, and this one is it. Being next to the airport? Added bonus.

Ill use it at least 3-5 times a week, and most likely stay near it when needed, instead of Prov. Its a major win for me, and my needs while away from home.

Wow! Makes my head spin since I have been WFH since 3/2020.

Funny thing, I work from home... when doing work, but saying hi to clients, in person meetings, etc, not so much. Amazing how many clients still love the "in person" meeting vs Zoom / Google Meets / Etc. I even downsized my main office in downtown Westerly a month ago due to never being there.

HA!

 

[ShibbyRomes]

Just a quick update. As of this afternoon, the meter has yet to be installed. My assumption is that recent inclement weather has not helped the timeline for this SC to become operational.

Status: "Soon".

There is another Neon Marketplace in the works with a Tesla supercharger coming to Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence across from a 24 hour CVS. It was formerly The Fire Restaurant which permanently closed during the pandemic. Very excited about this! I home charge 90% of the time, but having access to be able to fast-charge when needed & so close will be great!
