Supercharger - Braintree, MA

Getting closer.. Taken Friday 7/19 at 130am

Had the same idea this morning. Here’s a couple daytime. Crew was there working on the cabinet wiring. There is a meter hooked up on the transformer as well.

Ah. So urban chargers.

Anyone close enough to drop by? This has got to be opening anytime now. Construction looked 95% when I was there last.

The utility inspection/hookup is usually the long pole

Did you plug in and charge or see someone else doing so? Or are they on the car's Navigation system or phone App?

I plugged in for a minute or so. Got up to 70kW. Did not see it on the in car map. It's not in the phone app.

I love the Silver so much. I hope it's a regular option again when I buy my next Tesla. Patty can have the old blue one

So I gather this is a free parking garage as it's associated with a shopping mall. Is that correct?

That’s correct, all parking at SSP is free.

Quick question: why are the stalls numbered above the “T” logo now?

Because the cord blocks the number when it's at the bottom. Not that it matters, other than reporting problems.

Sorry, but I disagree. Before 2018, final hook-up and inspection took a very long time. However, during the past 18 months this construction phase has become one of the fastest! Braintree and Hudson are two good examples that come to mind and surely there are others in NE. Should we credit Tesla or our local utility promoting EV useage?

Both Hudson an Braintree have a municipally owned electric utility.

Couple interesting things unnoticed tonight

• Lights were added directly above the chargers, for security I’d imagine. They went on at 8pm while I was there.
• The meter is not yet recording power used.
• There’s an extra parking bumper? I counted 8 stalls and 9 parking things. Confused me at first as the space I was pulling into had the charger on the wrong side.

Ah. So urban chargers.

The South Shore Plaza is so big that by the time you get from the superchargers to to food court you wouldn't have time to eat if these were 150kW superchargers.

By the way, this site is now showing on the navigation map.
