good questions. should that info be on the building permit? i dont know how to access that. has anyone seen it?
I travelled through the Richmond area and did some recon.
According to a worker, it has to be turned over by the 21st, so expect it to open sometime after that.
It is a great location. Near the intersection of two interstate highways and lots to do in the surrounding parking lot.

Brianman, I think that's a guy-problem. I look at Haid's picture and think of sleek, fast thoroughbreds, resting in their stalls before the Preakness.
But yeah, I do see your point. Will try to think of them as "bays"

Probably not, to either/any/all.
The only two locations that I know of with Solar panels are in Cali (although looking ahead, as part of Phase Two, posts/roofs/PVs are scheduled to be added/installed).
Latest photos of Hawthorne had major amounts of the perforated concrete with grass removed and replaced with large concrete pads.
I have not seen any other locations with the perforated concrete with grass, or an adjacent water feature.
Again, they probably won't have that level of design due to the required continual maintenance as a part of their scheme.
I would expect it to look like 95% of the already completed Supercharger stations, with striped parking spaces, a series of small power monuments (bays), some (appropriate) signage mounted on posts, at least one site-mounted large electrical transformer and a fenced/concealed area that will contain the rest of the ESVE towers and ancillary equipment.

Great question.
Appears that they have most of the underground conduit in-place for transformer/ ESVE pad and some bays.
Difficult to know why so much area is exposed without photos of initial site conditions and plans for extent of new work.
That's actually what I was thinking, but didn't want to stick my neck out on it. It seems extremely unlikely for several reasons.
Went by there today just before the deluge:
They were not excavating on the pavement in front of the 8 bays, it was just where they were putting the extra soil. Concrete work is next, Virginia Dominion Power was onsite today and the electrical work should start very soon.

Great follow-up pic and excellent post/update analysis.
Yep, everything was excavated behind the curb for the conduits and piers for the bays and at the one end where the transformer and ESVE towers will be located.
Thanks for the update, Bill - so cool! Now we need to start scouting out the Northern Virginia location! Should be along I95 just south of the I495 Beltway....
