The ribbon cutting ceremony on March 21, 2018 featured the owner with scissors in hand to formally dedicate this amazing gourmet quality food, beverage and candy palace.

Yeah I did the same over this past weekend. The charging was fine, but the place was not as full-service as I had hoped. And they go heavy on the candy, and didn't even have regular pretzels on site. With food service and the bar closing at 10PM - which ok, fine; we were making a late night run to Vegas after all - but the borderline militancy with which the security guard was shouting at people to get out of the bathroom because the place was going to close in 10 minutes was a bit over-the-top.
This does beg the question, though: What to do if you're charging or even getting gas after midnight? As far as I could tell there were no outdoor restroom facilities. I'm willing to guess that most travelers who are going to stop at a place like Yermo for re-fueling, instead of, say, Barstow, may be a bit more desperate for a restroom than those who plan better. My buddy and I even saw two different people get shushed off out of the bushes by security while we were charging.
And note to Tesla Nav: You could have directed me straight to Calico Rd. There was no reason to have me get off at Yermo Rd., hang a left, cross over the 15, then drive on Calico Blvd in the near pitch-black darkness for a mile-ish before crossing over the 15 yet again to reach EW. At ~10% charge level at that dark hour that navigation didn't inspire confidence! Luckily that was still enough charge to double-back to Lenwood, but that wasn't necessary.
ok thanks
Hopefully that one will get solar some day too. I have been mainly stopping at baker because I like the idea of powering the car more from solar.
Yes I was there twice in early to mid June and they were installing solar on the roofs over the gas pumps. It looked like there would be some type of battery storage on one of the islands in between two gas pumps. At the time it did not appear that the solar panels would be angled properly but I suppose that might not be as big a deal at such a sunny and southerly location.
Stopped by here on my way to Vegas last night for EVO and I gotta say, I am really impressed with Eddie World. Clean bathrooms, snacks, drinks, food, dessert, and even coffee! What more can you ask for?! I have a feeling that I’ll be regularly stopping here to charge to and from Vegas!

They actually did install solar panels on the roof above the gas pumps, but I don't think it powers the superchargers. See up thread for discussion.
Also I think there are plenty of stalls here for now, but there is room for expansion if necessary. The side lot in front of the supercharger gets little use.

Yeah I saw that solar install, management confirmed they don’t power the superchargers. I was talking about a solar canopy over the chargers, that would be beneficial in more ways than one.
More stalls will definitely be necessary, unless they build a lounge at baker similar to Kettleman
Don’t get me wrong though, there’s nothing to complain about yermo, it’s a great location.
Just stopped at this SC on way from SD to Vegas and back. Both times I was the only car there and 2 others stopped as I was charging when heading to Vegas. Great place to stop, glad to have options other then Barstow. Only complaint is that charging speed seemed a little slower, only hit 98kw charging speed on both stops and had less then 5% charge when I started.

Traveled here twice during 4th of July week and the lot was busy. Regular parking spaces in front of the SC spaces were being used. Max Teslas charging at once, four.
Here are some photos of the Yermo Supercharger I took in my recent trip in December 2018. The build-your-own pizza place has been expanded to include burgers, sushi and sandwiches. When it first opened there was only pizza as a hot food choice. This Supercharger is being discussed in a thread about a San Fernando Valley, California to Las Vegas road trip here: Trip Report: LA (SFV) to Vegas and back in 2 days (CES)

ChargePoint has a CEC funded site at this address:
36017 Calico Road Yermo, CA 92398
I believe that is the installation that you're seeing. It will probably be much like the installation that was just turned on at the Chevron across the highway from the Harris Ranch Inn & Restaurant. The ChargePoint corridor sites typically charge $0.10/min + $0.25/kWh on their 50kW stations.

Btw the completed image above is not the eddieworld installation
Correct. Eddie World is not in Coalinga. Also, the Facebook post clearly says 2 months to completion.
