Supercharger - West Lebanon NH

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

Still down as of 10PM last night.

I was charging at the EA chargers and a Model Y came by asking if I could help out. 8% battery left and going to NY had to help him find a L2.

Anybody needing L2s in the area, there are a fair few in WRJ. I've used the 2 in the public parking lot (ChargePoint), and the 2 at the Hampton Inn (SemaConnect).
Either could be a good fit, depending on the time of day. Hampton Inn lobby probably a good place to chill late.

Noticed a liberty utilities truck nearby. But, power still not on. Come on. Everything seems finished. What’s the hold up? Documentation? Signage? Signatures?

Anyway….I will open up today to help out fellow owners with L3 charging in front of Walmart. 20 minutes charging is enough to get Berlin or Manchester

 

[cmaster]

No power connection yet. Seems finished otherwise.

I don't want this site to become like the one in Quebec City. Finished since Dec. 2021, but, still have not hooked up yet to the main lines.

Anyway, I went to the West Lebanon superchargers again and noticed one of the stalls seems busted. It's the fourth one from the back of the store. I thought one could be be busted because they delayed the installation for a long time before they actually started shutting off the site. The crate that they came in with slanted, and probably busted one of the supercharger stalls while it sits under the weather.

There are so few supercharging stations in VT, losing these in the middle of summer travel is pretty ridiculous.

I hope this doesn't end up like Tyngsboro which has been waiting months for power. This is a critical site, without it it's not possible to travel to large parts of Vermont.

Yes, it's too bad they didn't coordinate this with St johnsburys opening.

There are a few places that are over 200 days in construction....I'm not sure what these sites are waiting for. Seems like they're abandoned after 99% built.

There's a few in QC Canada that is over 300 days in construction. Is it a real estate scam? Or what?

West Lebanon is showing back in service (v2 only most likely)

NOTE: This should be verified on-site as working before we just assume it's up given a premature false alarm recently.

Verified that the V2 works. We can trust the instrument cluster. Might as well mark it online.

Thanks for verifying!

@tes-s @corywright Can you please mark the site as back open on supercharge.info - so far only the original V2 stalls are up, pending a visit from the Tesla commissioning team.

I’m charging at one of the V2’s now, along with 4 others (Quebec, NY, MA, CT). As expected, V3’s Tesla logos are not lit up. In car map indicates “reduced service” (8 of 16 available).

And I’m the only one of us parked on the correct side (facing the street)

 

[cmaster]

Some drivers man, they’re so annoying sometimes by purposely openness their doors to block others from charging adjacent to them.

V2 isolation. The sign of a well schooled long time Tesla owner. Now if they try that at a V3... well, then they've got issues.

Wrong side parking is always a problem here. Should consider someway to route traffic to the correct side or mark the spaces Charging / Not Charging. You would think when they go for the cable and it's not where it usually is they could figure it out.

Currently charging here. Still looks like only V2’s work. Hard to see in sunlight but pretty sure the v3 stalls are not lit up.

Also - the working (old) stations are still thick V2 cables. I think the new ones are thin V3.. still wonder if they have a rework plan to convert the v2 to v3

 

[Tdreamer]

Unlikely. If/when a rework occurs it would probably be an uplift to V4's someday.

My guess on the V3's going live is just before or after Tyngsborough MA comes online. Tesla is probably lining up completed sites to commission....

Brattleboro started as 8 V2's. They added 8 V3's a year and a half ago, but have left the original 8 V2's untouched. Based on that, I doubt the V2's in West Lebanon will be upgraded anytime soon.

With the recent progress in St J, maybe they'll add that one to the commissioning batch...

I should have added, I'll check every day or two and post an update when the situation changes.

Any updates for the wary (or should I say unwary?). It should never be a crapshoot when nav plans a stop at a supercharger.
