My dad took these yesterday while heading back to the Bay Area.

Too bad dad didn't reach above the green fence. But those look like Supercharger towers through the mesh!

Maybe this'll be online by our next trip to OR in October...

Lots of activity but did not see and pedestal laying about.

Nice. From the conduit and pads, it'll be a V3 location.

OMG, you're right. Do you see conduit for 3 cabinets and 12 stalls or 4 cabinets and 16 stalls? I can't convince myself for sure which is the right answer based on the recent pictures.

My guess is 3 for 12, but I can't really make it out yet either. Seeing how this one turns out will help for identifying and understanding future builds.

When I was there last weekend I counted 12 pads either installed or waiting to be installed.

Maybe the area I thought could be a 4th SC-V3 cabinet could be for a PowerPack inverter. The Powerpacks themselves would have to be wired to the inverter without conduit in the concrete in order for that theory to work out though. There does seem to be space on the pad though. Unfortunately there are no pictures of Santa Rosa before the PowerPacks were installed.

I'm guessing it's done by Sept 12th, mostly because I want this for my Giants game..

I was by there this evening. The construction fence is gone and all the paving striping and signage is done. No equipment on site yet but the conduit is run to the power pole, no wires in it yet. 12 chargers, some have signs allowing 30 minute general parking and some don’t.

I also took some photos of the EV-GO station that is just around the corner. Only about 100 feet away.

 

[miimura]

I alluded the the possibility of Powerpack batteries at this site. The clearer pictures don't have any extra pads or conduits for anything but the required transformer, distribution cabinet, and 3 SC V3 cabinets for 12 stalls. All conduits are accounted for in this list.

Those are interesting charger units. I don't think I've seen that model deployed by EVgo before. Similar, but not exactly the same. Looking at the BTC Power product pages, this is their new "Slim" 50kW model.

I hope that those EV-GO stations are safer than they appear. It looks so sketchy...

I don't think its a bad area. The superchargers are just around the corner and they are putting up more lighting around them. Williams is a small farming town and I don't think they have a big crime problem. I didn't feel unsafe when I took the pictures and it was already pretty dark. I do think these superchargers will be a nice stop. They are in Granzella's parking lot and Granzella's is a really neat place with sit down dining and also a deli/ice cream/coffee/specialty-high end grocery area that is just a walk into and browse around type place. They also have a gift store right beside the superchargers that looks really neat. Starbucks is a short walk away as are other fast food type places.

I’ve stayed at that hotel while level 2 charging. It is a very nice stop, and agreed with everything mentioned above. The hotel should be available for late night bathroom needs. Hopefully these superchargers will be ready for our trip down to CA this Winter.

I'm hoping they're on line by October so we can skip Corning!

I agree. Like @Araman0 we have stayed and charged at Granzellas and had a good experience.

Charged? Already? Are there existing)-1772s there?

Yup, I've charged there while eating at the restaurant once. The next time through they told me it was for Hotel guests only.. I found that kind of odd since I was eating at Granzellas, and hoping to use Granzallas Hotel charger?
