that was intended to be sarcastic since I live out 'there' - and its a tesla wasteland except for the money tesla makes from sales. . .
The National Park Service is taking public comments on their redevelopment plan for the Stovepipe Wells area of Death Valley National Park. Part of their plans involve expanding the gas station to accommodate a diesel fuel pump. I sent commends saying this gas station expansion would be a great time to consider EV chargers at that location as well (SC and other EV chargers). Some of our members may wish to add comments on their gas station plans (and other ideas) as well. The comment period is open until December 23, 2020. Here’s a link to the NPS project homepage: National Park Service - PEPC - Stovepipe Wells and Emigrant Site Plan Here’s a link to the PDF with gas station project details: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/showFile.cfm?projectID=72747&MIMEType=application%252Fpdf&filename=FINAL%5FDEVA%20SPW%20Civic%20Engagement%20Newsletter%2011%2E16%2E2020%2Epdf&sfid=447848 Here’s a link to the NPS portal for comments: NPS PEPC - Stovepipe Wells Developed Area Planning Public Engagement Newsletter As a final note, this ended up on my radar through the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association (AOPA) because one of the items up for discussion is closing the Stovepipe Wells airport in favor of a night-sky viewing area. Considering the airport does not have a lighted runway (or beacon) and is not open at night, my comment was “why not both?”. It’s a great little stop, a divert resource for many pilots and I’d someday like to land my EV airplane at that airport and charge at the EV gas station we got started here in 2020! If you can save our airport at the same time - that would be much appreciated.
If the valley in total has 1.5 million people. That’s very few locations to charge. we really need the promised studio city and Sherman oaks ones. “Promised”
If by "promised," you mean what is listed on the Tesla Supercharger page, I think you are overly optimistic. There are sites that have been "Coming in [current year]" for several years. And many are about to roll over to 2021
What happened to the SC in Simi Valley? We used to have to stay in a hotel with a destination charger to make it back to Santa Clarita for a quick charge, or if going to Palm Springs, Burbank or Glendale. Now I know of a SC at the Palm Springs Museum of Art, but then I just plug in at home!
You have several Supercharger options along this route: 11 Urban Stalls in Downtown PS (there are also Superchargers in Rancho Mirage and Indio) 16 Stalls in Cabazon (the Outlet Mall) 20 Stalls in Beaumont (some V3) 14 Urban Stalls in San Bernardino (I'm skipping the Rancho Cucamonga stalls as that place is always a cluster) 24 Urban Stalls in Pasadena
Tesla's Find Us webpage has been updated - this time with specific quarters that they expect locations to open. Time to start scouting locations that are due to open Q2 2021 or earlier! It looks like they omit the quarter for any 2022 estimated opening locations.
I hadn't checked the official map in a while so i'm not 100% sure which ones are new. Has anyone compiled a full diff of the changes yet? @MarcoRP Just clicking around LA... Bell and Pacific Palisades are coming in Q1 and Q2, probably permits out there. Bell, CA Q1 2021 San Gabriel, CA Q2 2021 Pacific Palisades Q2 2021 Culver City Q3 2021 West Hollywood Q4 2021 Beverly Hills 2022 Sherman Oaks changed to 2022
Beverly Hills. Yep, lot's of cheap and available land over there. There is a large and very available parking structure underneath and adjacent to the City Hall/Annenberg. That's the only place I can think of. West Hollywood may be even more difficult. Perhaps on the upper level of the Pavilions.
This past June, the City of Bell’s Planning Commission discussed building a supercharger station at 4410 Gage Avenue Bell, CA 90201: http://www.cityofbell.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=13965 This site suggests 8 chargers: https://www.cityfeet.com/cont/listing/4410-gage-ave-bell-ca-90201/cs18906711 Could someone create a thread?
You can. Just make sure to follow the rules guidelines in F5 (and F4) of the California Supercharger Locations FAQ
Screw the guidelines for now. Copy-pasting your post into a thread will work just as well (or @bmah could do it). Thanks for the find!! ((will link sc.info pin here for now until it's changed))
Slightly off topic but anyone know of an app that is type agnostic? Just DC chargers? I don't care if I'm using tesla or EA or whoever.
