Supercharger - Sonora, CA (under construction Feb 2024)

[mduller]

I'm also very excited about the Sonora location, as we go skiing at Dodge Ridge.
@Tradetodeath , when you pass by the area again, would you mind sharing an update on the progress? Thanks!

Making progress, but the transformer is going to be the sticking point, I have seen complete sites delayed by years waiting

 

[Tradetodeath]

What I heard is there is a push to get it done by “spring”. The one in Arnold has been under construction for some time and waits for a transformer…

Still no posts

PG&E is installing the transformer right now.

Oh, man, how exciting, does this mean that they finally mounted the posts? The charger stalls as it were? Last time I was there is was just the power electronics and the trenching that was finished.

No posts yet. I was surprised to see PG&E moving faster than Tesla.

Dang!

I saw a large trailer with a crane delivering 3 large crates to the Sonora supercharger site yesterday. Looks like the charging stalls are here. They were wrapped in cardboard so I couldn't tell if they were V3 or V4 stalls.

Wonder if this will be affected by the layoffs, otherwise with the Switching Equipment and the Transformer installed, and the Posts all on location it shouldn't be long until this one is commissioned. Assuming there is someone on staff to do it.

Doesn’t look like anything has happened since the last post. I hope we see some progress soon!

I don't think we have gotten a photo posted of the boxes that surely contain the posts on this thread, but yes, I was disappointed when I drove by last week and they were sitting there unopened. Perhaps they were waiting for those cable spools you photographed. Sure would be exciting to have this open.

Stalls are installed. There are white covers over them so I still can't tell if they are V3 or V4.

 

[ProTravelr]

Great to hear. Hopefully it goes live soon.

There is a technician working on the site right now. Getting closer!
