Supercharger - Lafayette, LA

[Chuq]

Thanks to Zakeeus on the supercharge.info forums, who found this application for excavation for superchargers in the Stirling Center in Lafayette, LA:

There are three dig locations - presumably Tesla will only use one of them?

Now added to sc.info.

Already under discussion in this thread: Supercharger - Scott, LA (Lafayette Parish)

Originally the person who started the thread thought the superchargers were going to be at the new public library in Scott, LA which is just a few miles west of the current location. Hence the title. Now that the location seems to have been identified and is further east in Lafayette itself, it should get retitled.

You're all over it @mociaf9! I even searched for 'blueshift' in case the location was already being discussed here but no luck. Let me know when the threads are merged (or this one is deleted) and I'll update the 'discuss' link.

190 miles from Slidell vis US 90, that can be usefull on those days when the Basin Bridge is shutdown.

Is there any reason this one isn't posted on the Super Charger map yet? I just looked and it doesn't even have the gray "coming soon" icon.

This is rather odd. This will be a good addition to the I-10 corridor Though.

Has anybody been by here lately to see if construction has started?

 

[Darmie]

This is about 1hr or so down the road. If I ever get a day off, we may take a ride and see.

 

[ZAKEEUS]

I haven’t seen any work in that area

 

[Malbrough]

Wish this would open up....

I stopped by the Stirling Mall today, but could see no construction activity anywhere near the Target or AT&T stores.

 

[Andrejun]

Subscribed: Not much if any construction activity as of yet. I'm in Scott, but I'm around the proposed location reguarly.

Latest permit shows construction to start on the 11th

I just drove by 15 minutes ago, and a large strip parallel to Louisiana Ave is gated off.

 

[Andrejun]

Awesome!
I almost drove by and didn’t, guess I will tomorrow.

I think this location is now under construction, per these pictures on this thread by @Andrejun 6 minutes ago.

You can post the photos here. I can delete the preceding post

No need, you already fixed it.
Thanks for keeping both the Plugshare and supercharger list up to date, it is a real help.

 

[Darmie]

This is so exciting. Now we don't have to always travel to Lafayette on a full charge.

I-10/LA Ave. Tesla Supercharger Station Construction – Developing Lafayette

Looks like 8 stalls. (6 back in, and 2 pull up spots)
The picture I the article only appears to show 2 cabinets, so this could be a V3.
