Supercharger - Burlington, WA

[Big Earl]

We'll be towing a camper and likely stopping here for a charge this weekend. Do we know if the new chargers are configured to allow for pull-in charging (with a trailer hanging off the back of the car)?

The first and last stalls are pull-in. This site is busy, so you might need to unhitch your trailer.

Looks like this site is finally gonna get an upgrade!

Still not trailer friendly tho.

Most excellent!

Anyone know what's up with these posts? They seem like 72kw stalls but like they just slapped them on the end.

I used that one on the furthest west stall when I was pulling a trailer, it was very handy.
The other Burlington SC off Costco Dr. Is very handy when towing, and a better location too.

They put those in like a year or so back, kind of a bandaid to quickly and easily add a couple of stalls to an overloaded (at the time) charger. Slow at 72kw, but when it’s busy you don’t get much faster than that on a V2 anyway.

Those are 72 kW stalls that they slapped on the end.

I should have trusted my gut!

Plugged into a stall near the entrance today, and only got 26kW. Moved to a different stall and only got 60-something kW. Gave up and drove to the Burlington Marketplace staion.

I really wish I could tell my car to just never navigate here...at least until the expansion opens.

Were you paired with other drivers? This could be totally normal behavior for a v2 supercharger.

NOTE: the stalls are numbered 1A 2A 3A 4A 1B 2B 3B 4B at this location so they are not paired with the immediately adjacent stalls.

60 seems low for paired... I'd expect 70-something. and 20 (and very unsteady) is implausible.

(Yes, being paired was quite likely. I'm aware of the unusual numbering)

60 isn't unusual for being paired at all.

And in the old days, the first guy would get 3/4 of the power so the split would be 108/36 (max), which could be what happened when you were getting 26. I've encountered some like that in more recent times. I figure they were never re-programmed or that something else is amiss.

The equipment at this site isn’t in the best shape. I suspect it will be decommissioned or replaced once the new site opens - hopefully the latter.

I was thinking the same thing. It's been open more than 10 years, so the original lease should be expired.

I noticed the site expansion's showing as open on the find-us page? As "Burlington, WA - Old Highway 99 North"

It appears Tesla jumped the gun and posted it on findus and in the app but it hasn't cleared final inspection and has been showing as temporary closure on the app for a couple of weeks.
