Fencing has been collected. No other updates as of today

Hotels.com has a filter for "Electric Vehicle Charging Points". It works reasonably well - this is where I usually start my search for lodging on a road trip. But I then often validate on Plugshare that the charger is actually working/accessible/free of charge... Hotels.com is mostly for...

I have done this stretch both ways many times with my MX75D and MS60. As PLUS EV says, as long as it's not very cold and there is no snow/wind you'll be fine. With my old MS60 I'll often go slow initially (or draft behind a truck) until I build up a sufficient reserve. For additional peace...

Thank a lot for taking the initiative @khorton. The permit linked further upthread also has the contact info for the contractor (striperite) if case you want to pursue this further.

That is just so weird - and really stinks if you have a bike rack. The signage seems identical with the prior one...are these intended to protect the pedestals (the posts seem to be filled with concrete going by another plugshare photo)? Or did Stripe Rite, Inc just get the Posts Wrong?

Yay! Make my trips to Bend quite a bit easier. Did anybody ever doubt Tesla's Q1 opening date? :cool:

I checked this out yesterday. Turns out these are Tesla Powerpacks that are now installed next to the Electrify America chargers, a bit to the south of the Superchargers.

Yes, Myrtle Creek near Roseburg will fill that gap (hopefully) in Q1/21

Williams has gotten an upgrade in the last 3 weeks: 4 more V3 stalls have been added on the north side of the existing charger - so it has now 12 V3 stalls. Great to see this expansion only 1 year after opening this charger (the site was prepared for an expansion as part of the initial...

Note that the online display of capacity and occupancy currently still seems highly volatile and unreliable. On Saturday, it first showed 3 out of 4 stalls occupied, later 4 out of 6, and when I got there 6 out of 8 were occupied, while online was showing 0 out of 4 occupied. All 8 stalls...

What a difference a day (night) makes. All but 2 pedestals are without their top covers now, and one even has no cover on the back (lying broken a little further to the north). It was quite windy here in the last 24 hrs, and I am guessing the pedestal covers weren't fully assembled yet...

Congrats PWlakewood. A Supercharger at the (former) Supermall !

As the perfect entertainment for your Supercharger break I recommend taking a spin with (EV-)slotcars at Fundemonium in the same mall. (next to Petsmart, 20 mins @ $9 IIRC) :)

The transformer is in now, but not powered up yet.

Check out this comparison of AWD w/ summer tires vs. RWD w/ winter tires:

Yep, Twin Star. They put in all new hardware a few months ago (and increased prices). Do I recommend it? It's by far not perfect, but the car is coming out cleaner than going in. And it's touchless. That works for me... +1 on Caadxi Oaxaca.

There is one in Snoqualmie that has recently been upgraded/refreshed.

Congrats Librae!!!

Back to this SuC.... Earlier last year - before construction in Issaquah had started - the Mayor of Snoqualmie had indicated that a SuC would go in at the Safeway parking lot in Snoqualmie. Maybe that's what now will happen. Will start to look for permits...

Still the same 5x layout, and still limited to 120 kw max. I think I read somewhere here that an expansion is planned at a different location close by (but that might be a rumor only).

Since it hasn't been reported here yet, Ellensburg got all new pedestals in the last two weeks (just as Burlington).

More of nothing new to report as of today...

Saturday, 12/2/17 - no changes

I stopped by last night. No progress or changes vs. the picture from TreborThickweb on Wednesday. All the hardware incl. the Tesla cabinets has disappeared. Possibly they are now in the 2 shipping containers that are still on site (if they fit). I wonder what's going on here.

Looks like Issaquah will have 8 stalls:

Looks like construction for the expansion has started now. The construction fence it up (right across from the current stalls), and Alta Lake Electric's trailer is there.

Same here - 75D 6-seater reserved in 2014, ordered in January with VIN 113xx. Just starting production now.... Still, very happy :)

I have a service appointment scheduled for next week. Received a note from Tesla today that as of Monday (7/18) they will be in the new location. It says the new location will have a showroom and "space for our delivery team" - so sounds like they will start doing deliveries in Bellevue again...

Well, it's your card issuing bank who is the other winner here. Tesla of course had to pay the 2-4% interchange fee on your initial payment.

There are a few threads on this topic, e.g., Why is Tesla putting a supercharger in Seattle?

I'd recommend you make a reservation at the KOA - when I was there in August it was fully booked. Not sure if the cabins have 14-50ies, you might have to ask one of the RV spots if you can use theirs. The going to the sun road is spectacular, particularly in a Tesla with the Pano roof open :)...

#10,6xx - invite received today...

I haven't done it from Seattle. Should be pretty safe, but the good thing is there are several Chademo's along the way (North Bend, Snoqualmie Pass, Cle Elum, Leavenworth, Wenatchee) - so should you ever run low in heavy snow/rain/wind there's always an option for a fast recharge. The Chademo...

adjustable headrests...nice!

Based on the pictures from Tuesday I don't see any chance that you will be able to charge here today or tomorrow. I've never read or heard that a single individual stall would be live before the entire SC is tested and activated by Tesla (not done by ADK). If you are concerned about making it...

Fantastic news. How did the permit scouts miss that one :wink:. The permit has been issued on 6/24 already, even in Tesla's name: Permit "CONSTRUCTION OF A SUPERCHARGING STATION FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES: REPLACE 8 PARKING STALLS WITH 10 PARKING STALLS (8 WITH CHARGING POSTS, 2 WITHOUT) AND...

Køge, Denmark Nanjing, China (not sure which one of the 3 in Nanjing)

It depends. In Germany for example the 39 Superchargers are powered by renewable energy through the utility that Tesla selected as their electricity provider.

I tried one of the CHAdeMOs and one of the L2s this past Sunday and could get neither to work with my eVgo card. The L2 (the one further to the right) didn't seem to register the card at all, while the L3 next to it did recognize the card but wouldn't synch with my MS (I have had no issues...

Your proposed itinerary should work well range-wise - but that's certainly a lot of driving for one day. You might also want to consider going to Neah Bay instead. The distance is about the same as La Push, and the drive in total is a bit nicer I think (more coast, less forest - but you'll...

We have a thread with 60 posts on this topic here: Completely ICEd at Ellensburg Superchargers! Grrr Skyhawk summarized in Dec 2014: I just re-read the entire thread because I don't think this is much of a problem. It appears there was only one case on July 21 when someone was completely...

There is a new eVgo CHAdeMO charger currently under construction at the North Bend Outlet Mall, just a few steps away from the future hotel (see plugshare for details). So if you have the adapter this should help quite a bit for the Centralia - Ellensburg via SR18 trip, particularly in the...

I checked these out tonight. Good news is that charging is currently free, and you don't need any card at this time - just push the Start button. What's not to like about that? Just not sure if it will stay that way. Connecting these eVgo chargers - with button, handle and handle lock - to...

Here's the Nissan press release. Not too surprisingly, Tesla Superchargers apparently don't seem to exist - oh well... Gov. Inslee, Bellevue Nissan Open New EV Fast-Charging Depot | Business Wire

My wife and I traveled around in Glacier NP in my MS60 for about a week last summer, relying exclusively on RV parks for charging. We stayed most nights at a hotel in Kalispell while the car slept at a local RV park. We had the Hotel Shuttle drop us off and pick us up there. Entirely doable...

Thanks Merrill - this is excellent. Maybe a few more folks can reach out to them too and nudge them to make the fairly small investment (e.g., some NEMA 14-50s and some signage). My initial contact was through their website "contact us" form and they responded quickly (but responses were...

FWIW - just came across this "announced" SAE combo charger at Wholefoods in Bellevue on plugshare: COMING SOON SAE COMBO/CHAdemo Whole Foods Market | Bellevue, WA | Electric Car Charging Station | PlugShare No idea how real this is. You might want to check out the company behind this to find...

The same happened to me (or better, I did the same to me) while on a ski vacation in the middle of the Rockies far far away from any Service Center. I removed the wiper arm and tried to get the spring back on - which was hopeless...the spring is way too strong. I put some stronger rubber band...

They do have 24 RV hookups (110V and TT-30s) on the B parking lot which can help to keep car & battery warm as long as they are available. I've emailed them a couple of times this year through their website and suggested to install "real" EV chargers ("...Stevens & Snoqualmie Pass have them...
