Supercharger - West Melbourne, FL [Operational]

[FPLPowered]

Looks like it will be in Hammock Landing which is a much better location then the Melbourne mall (but much further for me in Viera)

Wow cool! Thanks for the update! That will definitely be great for travelers on 95, while still being central to a lot of people in Melbourne. Plus, it seems like there is plenty of food and shoppes over there.

I ran around that area this morning. Still nothing

Amy word on this station? Moving to Palm Bay next month and D.C. Charging looks pretty slim.

Drove around the area today; didn’t find anything being worked on or containers.

A member of the Space Coast EV Drivers shared this today. Looks like construction has started.

Looks like it's about here: Google Maps

I am not sure exactly, but it looks like there are 8 stalls. I guess the pipes coming out of the ground will hold the cables. And it looks like in the first picture, that will be where the cabinet is.

Should be 4 supercharger cabinets installed soon to service 8 positions. Also, a transformer will feed power in to one switch gear and metering box and that in turn will feed two smaller switch gear boxes which will then feed the 4 supercharger cabinets. Coming along nicely and about the same pace as Toledo OH. Both locations will be helpful to me; save a trip down to Pt St Lucie.

P. S. There are some extra pictures on the Toledo site that will give you a good idea of what to expect.

Stopped by Hammock Landing today. Interesting construction done. Not really sure what to make of it.

Thanks for the photos.

They are building an enclosure around where the Supercharger cabinets and high voltage switchgear will go.

Thanks for pointing out the Toledo page. Lots of good construction pictures there.

Okay yeah that makes sense, Larry. Is it normal for them to build the enclosure with concrete? I haven't really seen any superchargers in person, but I always thought the ones that I have seen in YouTube videos just had like a wooden fence enclosure. Maybe they are doing because of all the hurricanes in Florida.

It varies with the host location. There have been wood enclosures, cinder block and in some cases no enclosures at all. I doubt that it has anything to do with hurricanes. More than likely it is just a matter of the degree of perceived liability the installation has to the lawyers of the host location.
