This tree might be a goner if they add the big charger cabinets here - note the circle around it.

NH live free or Die.Weird - still have no evidence of a construction permit for the site.
A mix. For instance, see Brattleboro, VT. Started as 8 V2's, then expanded with 8 more V3's, but the original V2's were untouched.Was there today. Progress seems the same (pardon the terrible picture).
Quick question, when a station is upgraded to v3, are all stalls replaced or is there a mix? I assume replaced?
I think it shows the maximum charge rate at the site - with the total number of stalls. So Brattleboro should now be 16 stalls, max 250kW and that's what West Lebanon will show when the expansion is done. There are no current plans to remove the existing V2 stalls that I am aware of. But I would hope Tesla will deliver 250kW & 120 (or 150?)kW signage to affix to each stall - not that many owners will necessarily know what these mean or how it should influence where they elect to plug in.Good to know. I've yet to experience that.
How do they show in the nav?
Always look for stalls #C & #D, use any of the matching # as V2 are in pairs and V3's are in a four pack.I think it shows the maximum charge rate at the site - with the total number of stalls.

We are getting pretty off topic, but in regards to the mix site in Brattleboro they don't have any markings beyond the stall labels at the base. Last time I charged there I kept having to politely suggest to Model 3/Y/Plaid owners that moving over to the 250kW stalls would provide them a nice boost in charge speeds. In each case they had no idea there were different kinds of superchargers. Can't fault them either as there are no markings at all to tell the untrained owners of this fact beyond someone telling them about the cable size. Even then there are only a few mix sites where this would even come up. For most people its pull in and plug into whatever is available.I think it shows the maximum charge rate at the site - with the total number of stalls.

Good suggestion. I'm not sure how Tesla would feel about adding such community created labels to their equipment - regardless of how well intentioned it was.We are getting pretty off topic, but in regards to the mix site in Brattleboro they don't have any markings beyond the stall labels at the base.

It's almost certain that once the Lebanon addition is complete most people will still just pull into the closest stalls when they enter.
/edit. We need someone to whip up some tasteful "Best for Model 3/Y and 2021 or later Model S/X" and "Best for 2013-2020 Model S/X" stickers.
Or maybe keep it simple and make it "Best for Model 3/Y" and "Best for Model S/X" stickers. If you own a Plaid car you can figure it out on your own
Don't the Kettleman 250's have little markers on the top of the charger that state they are 250kW? I remember seeing something like that I think. Even that would be helpful.Good suggestion.

You would think Tesla would provide an output labeling kit to the contractor doing a site upgrade. It should be added to the bill of materials for the job automatically you would think. I know there haven't really been many expansions in the Northeast yet that add v3's to an existing v2 site - Brattleboro may be the first, with this site being the second. Both jobs are by the same contractor. I've been to other mixed v2/v3 sites across the country and I know some are labeled. Maybe Tesla leaves it up to the commissioning team to sort out stall power labeling - I know they do the numbering....

/edit. Yea, they do.

"Transformer? What transformer?"For anyone expecting to charge at this site - ensure you look at your nav first! Someone on FB reported a short time ago the site is reporting as temporary closure in-car today. This may mean the transformer replacement is underway or immanent. I think, but am not certain, that the site downtime would be exclusive to the transformer replacement and not an extended duration shutdown for the whole project.
Well, that's not good. I guess a quick rip and replace of the transformer isn't what they came up with for a plan.West Lebanon is 100%, positively down. DO NOT PLAN TO CHARGE HERE!

Fuses are also disconnected at the pole. Also looks like feeders from the bottoms of the fuses may have been cut/removed?

EDIT: Still no permit listed, but I don't believe one is necessary for Liberty to replace/upgrade the transformer.
I should have added, I'll check every day or two and post an update when the situation changes.Well, that's not good. I guess a quick rip and replace of the transformer isn't what they came up with for a plan.
@tes-s @corywright thoughts on marking this as temporary closure on supercharge.info? I can't imagine they would have pulled the transformer without having a plan to replace it quickly but....
