As of this morning the Meter has power, per Columbus permit search it passed final electrical inspection. Guessing it's down to Tesla Commissioning and their punch list items.

The East Campus View Blvd one? I was thinking the same thing at first, but here’s something I found out.Don't understand why there is a charger at that location when we already have Dublin and Polaris. There is nothing on the Eastside. A location off I70 in Reynoldsburg would suffice or even something at Easton.
Polaris is probably one of the busiest superchargers in Columbus up to the point they built Campus View. Most of the time it sat 80% used. Dublin is also quite busy. Campus View helps as it's near the intersection of 4 major routes (23, 71, 270, 315) and fairly easy to get on/off highway from there.Don't understand why there is a charger at that location when we already have Dublin and Polaris. There is nothing on the Eastside. A location off I70 in Reynoldsburg would suffice or even something at Easton.
Because the Polaris one sucks and is usually 62kwh max speed. Basically that renders it unusable. Might as well call it a destination chargerDon't understand why there is a charger at that location when we already have Dublin and Polaris. There is nothing on the Eastside.

Polaris is a V2, meaning the paired pedestals (i.e. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b) share power. V3s do not share power, other than the maximum allowed by the transformer.Because the Polaris one sucks and is usually 62kwh max speed. Basically that renders it unusable. Might as well call it a destination charger

Ohio First in the U.S. to Begin EV Fast Charger Construction Under NEVI Plan(COLUMBUS, Ohio)— Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Director Jack Marchbanks announced today that Ohio is now the first state in the nation to break ground on an electric vehicle (EV) charging station built as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program.This milestone is the latest in a series of major EV advancements made by the state in recent years. Ohio was the first state in the nation to release a request for charging station proposals last year, which was a strategic move to put Ohio ahead of other states for sought-after equipment and specialized technicians to install the stations. Showing a continued urgency to give Ohioans an advantage in the shift to electric, Ohio was also the first state in the country to announce the future sites of its first round of EV charging stations. “Ohio continues to lead in this rising sector," said Governor DeWine. "From securing investments by manufacturers to building key infrastructure, we are truly positioning Ohioans for the electric future. This groundbreaking further demonstrates the state’s commitment to installing chargers as quickly as possible for the benefit of Ohio drivers." “As more Ohioans adopt electric vehicles and the mix of automobiles on the road changes, we must ensure that our infrastructure is ready,” said Marchbanks. “Providing more fast chargers that are convenient and reliable ultimately improves customer service for Ohio drivers and bolsters equitable access to the latest transportation technology.” The nation's first NEVI charging station is being built at the Pilot Travel Center along Interstate 70 at U.S. Route 42, west of Columbus. Once complete, the station will be equipped with fast chargers installed by EVgo, capable of providing up to 350 kW when charging a single vehicle. When four vehicles are charging simultaneously, each port will receive up to 175 kW, which is enough power to charge an EV up to 80% in 20-40 minutes, depending on the vehicle’s battery.
“When we talked with electric vehicle drivers throughout our public engagement process, we heard that user experience is key,” said DriveOhio Executive Director Preeti Choudhary. “It’s not enough to just add chargers at the required increments – recognizing that drivers will spend a bit of time at these locations, we need to ensure users feel safe and comfortable while charging their vehicles.” In addition to this first site along I-70, construction is expected to begin soon on more than two dozen fast charging stations funded by NEVI across the state. All chargers installed as part of the first round are anticipated to be operational by the end of 2024. Ohio’s second round of charging infrastructure will include 25 additional locations along interstates, U.S. routes, and state routes. In the coming months, ODOT will solicit proposals from companies to build the next round of stations. In total, Ohio will receive $140 million in NEVI funds over the next five years to support the installation of EV charging stations across the state. Separate from the NEVI program, Ohio is taking steps to incorporate EVs into the state-owned vehicle fleet. The Ohio Department of Administrative Services will install six EV charging stations at three state-owned office buildings to support expanded fleet options. Sites include the James A. Rhodes State Office Tower, 4200 Surface Road, and the North High Complex. |
The stalls are covered? I wonder why...Quick update. Drove by this morning. Has power (meter on) but all stalls covered. Assuming waiting for Tesla to commission.
Covering the stalls is standard operating procedure these days. There is nothing to read into this.The stalls are covered? I wonder why...
Oh I understand that, I was just wondering why they're covering them when this station has been active since the summer.Covering the stalls is standard operating procedure these days. There is nothing to read into this.
