Supercharger - Newark, CA (LIVE 19 Sep 2019, 16 urban stalls)

[Darksoldier360]

Nope. Same ole as of Monday. Anyone know where the charger electrical cabinets are here? I didn’t see them when I drove by.

This weird

No changes to the stalls, no signs, but they have erected fencing where the transformers will probably go.

 

[Zorg]

Thanks. The Iceing will be fierce there during restaurant hours.

 

[EVie'sDad]

Indeed

 

[Zorg]

Tried the food. Not bad. Saw the fences. Hopefully that means transformers will come in soon.

I'm loving all of these Bay Area locations. All in convenient spots! This one is next to the mall too.

Also, Lazy Dog is pretty good but I find it a bit pricey. I love taking my dog here though and will continue to do so haha

Progress

Well, there are two big somethings encased in a concrete shell. Could it be underground PG&E transformers?

Thanks. The Iceing will be fierce there during restaurant hours.

I have an idea for a new business to stop ICE'ing

Please stay on topic for this thread, which is not about how to stop Supercharger stalls from being ICE’d. You are welcome to start a thread about that in this forum Charging Standards and Infrastructure

Thank you.

Underground transformers?

Underground transformers?

High voltage underground electrical vaults.

But the transformer for the supercharger is going to be an above ground, pad-mounted one just like we normally see. You can see the empty pad waiting for it in picture #3.

 

[Zorg]

Vaults still not underground. Fences are gone, so it is probably down to PG&E to do their thing now.

no signage

Before they open up they need to add a sign that says Tesla only - All others will be towed. (if land is owned by the mall developer)
Call City of Newark, have them add an ordinance code (if land owned by the city)

Good to see more sc's going up.

No visible change as of Thursday evening. Had dinner in the patio, with all the doggies.

 

[gillynova]

I went to this location on Easter Sunday (4/21/2019) with 8% battery left thinking that the Super Chargers were live but they still aren't. I had lunch at Lazy Dog with my family and went to the other Super Chargers close by at Target.

 

[EVie'sDad]

Not much progress, still a few weeks away at best.

That is a weird installation. Usually the frames supporting the Supercharger cabinets are flush to the ground. I'm sure it will work this way, but I'm pretty sure it's not the intended way to install them.
