I was at the Meijer in West Chester today and drove around. There was no indication of a supercharger install anywhere.

Supercharger (New) Toledo, OH
- Thread starter Ciaopec
- Start date
I have been looking for building permits in the Mason/Warren County area and have found none. Perhaps this crew was working on generic chargers in the city of Mason. IDK. Not a great location though. Seems like downtown might be more convenient to more highways.
Drove by today (11/17) and, sadly, despite assurance the meter would be in a week or so ago, nothing has changed except some limited landscaping. No fence in and no meter. So, Toledo SpC construction has ground to a halt! That is all these pictures show.
Your 11/21 update: No progress today. One contractor in his truck on the phone. Didn't get a chance to ask anything. No meter; stanchions are not numbered (is that a Tesla thing when they come to inspect/go online)? Still no fence; I assume it is stored in the shipping container now as I snapped photos of it in boxes some time ago.
It's odd that they sent a fence when it looks like at this point that they are not going to install it. Not that they always have to mind you. We have three SC's under construction in the Detroit metro area right now and only one of them will end up with a fence around the equipment. For that one though the fence was actually installed on the concrete pad and only goes around the SC equipment (not around the transformer). The ones we have without the fence now just have trees around them. So apparently that's now a thing.
As for the numbers, yes, those are definitely a thing that Tesla comes out and puts on when they do their validation testing at the very end (meaning after the meter is in place and the site is powered up).

It is Black Friday 11/24. Toledo SpC has a meter, a fence (but no gates), and lighted Tesla lights , and numbers on the stanchions. Unfortunately, I am not in the Tesla tonight ( groan, suffer, whine) so I cannot actually plug in. Construction fence (mostly removed) and there is accest to the stanchions. Finally getting close.

I'll be driving through on Sunday and will check it out if no one else does first.
IT IS ALIVE...!!!!
And how about the song that was conveniently on the radio when I got near the place. Very fitting.
There is still some cleanup that they need to do around the site (like removing the temporary orange fencing).
I needed an excuse to run out and get some more Yuengling, and this was a nice bonus. Plugged in and charging.

@BlueShift Looks like the Toledo charger is up and running.
That's a very valid point... Take into consideration though that the Supercharger in Maumee is only about 20-25 miles away from this one and that one is definitely open.
It does take a while for them to show up in the car and on the website...but they have also been known to go up and down before they are announced as official.
Like I said, they do need to do some cleanup here...and maybe put in more fencing (the gates). So you do need to factor all that in as to whether this one will be there when you need it. But it was absolutely working last night...but that does not mean much until it's listed as live on the Tesla website and in the car.
Gates are up and it appears only locks, clean up, and landscape remain.
Tesla called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Supercharger Photographer of the Year,” like this year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway, Tesla!

Actually, no. I am a dinosaur and don't have a twitter account but read a BBC story quoting a Time Magazine article and a tweet from Time and some responses including one each from Andy Murray and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Stopped by for fun on our way back to Ohio this morning. Charging started out strong, but after a minute or two it kept bouncing between 30 & 60kW. Tried two different chargers & same result. Left after a few minutes on our way to the Lima charger.
