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

This closure really hurts - its an important link in an area without too many SCs.I don't supposed they will take an opportunity to also add restrooms and and place to eat as well? I've been in the price chopper far too many times (if it's even open), never a big fan of this site several lights off the highway, but it is extremely important as there are a lack of chargers in NH and VT, especially CCS. Sharing has always been an issue and confusing as most people park on the wrong side. They should have put them on the road side edge of the lot in the first place. So glad to finally see some 250kWs though
They will add CCS1 cables when the government starts providing grants to build out CCS1 stations.This closure really hurts - its an important link in an area without too many SCs.
I wonder when they'll start adding CCS1 cables to the pedestals.
I think pull-in is the best guess - never seen a pull-in site constructed (and personally, I hate them). We'll see.OK, good news/bad news...
Bad news, no transformer yet. Also, on closer inspection, the feeders running down the pole into the conduit are gone. There is a line of dig safe flags from the pole to the transformer pad, so maybe they are installing new conduit vs pulling new wires through the old conduit (vs using the original feeders?)
Good news, construction on the 8 new stalls is underway. Yellow warning tape has been strung across the entrance to the chargers and around the construction area. Lots of excavation. Concrete forms in place. The gravel that was on the transformer pad has been cleared off and a chain has been strung between lifting points on opposite corners of the pad.
Anyone know why they dug out around the parking spaces? Maybe these spaces are going to be pull-through vs back into?

If the crew size was close to 10 people, I believe that means the contractor has assigned multiple crews to work this job concurrently (they usually have two+ sites under construction concurrently). While this could just mean they're done with another site (New Haven CT), I suspect it's more likely they have a real understanding of how heavily used this site is and are doing everything they can to get it done and back online ASAP. I think this is further reflected by the fact that they did not have the project span the July 4th holiday traffic rush.Everyone working so quick! Almost 10 people. Looks like it could be done by end of week or next week the latest. Here’s some of my drive by at 9:00am today.
someone with recorded charging curves can answer the first question, but, for me, when the stations are 'lightly used' I've found (in my limited experience) little meaningful difference for a 'full charge'. but for a low SOC 'splash and go' the V3 are so nice and quick. and a crowded V2 station (looking at you, Berlin Vt) can be a 30min affair rather than the 12 min the car projected. So - V3 is certainly worth having in high use locations.How long can new cars sustain >150kW? I question whether upgrading a station from V2->V3 makes much difference in the average session.

I have a Model Y. To me the biggest difference is the 'less power sharing' on the V3. but in general, my humans are seldom ready to go before the car is..@essaunders what is your vehicle?
Same here. If no power sharing occurs, I gain a couple-three minutes in charge time, then the car hits the point where the battery cannae take any more, cap'n, and pulls the same power whether it's V2 or V3. And if you're heading to the head or waiting in line at the Starbucks, that couple minutes difference is not noticeable.I have a Model Y.

New equipment pad with different layout, new supercharger cabinets, new conduit** (V3 uses a larger size) between cabinets and stalls, new wiring, new pedestals, and possibly a new utility transformer. It's basically tear everything out and redo the whole site, which is why Tesla never**** does it. They only supplement existing V2 with added V3, they don't remove and replace. Or they just build an entirely new V3 station at another location in the area.so, dumb question, perhaps. this was a V2 (150kw) supercharger. for the existing 8 stalls what's involved in upgrading them to V3? I'm assuming a new charger cabinet, pull new underground cables and then swap in new V3 pedestal?
