Supercharger - Richmond, CA - Pierce Street (LIVE May 30 2020, 16 V3 stalls)
- Thread starter PedramGh
- Start date
I live nearby and as penance for jumping the gun will check every couple of days and post pics when it’s actually on so y’all can relax.
I have been continuing to check, and so far nothing. I was able to find the Richmond permits, and it doesn't appear to be signed off yet, so we may be waiting a bit longer. eTRAKiT
BTW, one more little clue to the name — Cities with only one charger are listed as "City, ST", (See Alameda) but when there's more than one they're listed as "City, ST - Street". The Richmond charger is now listed as "Richmond, CA - Meeker Avenue", which circumstantially implies there's going to be another one listed in Richmond. If I were them, I'd make an urban charger somewhere downtown, probably in a garage. I can't think of many other places that have enough spare parking, except maybe that big lot on 4th street.

I probably wouldn't read too much into the naming. Tesla isn't real consistent on this point.

TECHNICALLY where the new Supercharger sits is in Richmond, Contra Costa County not Berkeley, Alameda County
map data from Supercharge.info
The city south of there is not even Berkeley, it's Albany

HA. I was just coming here to say that a friend texted me that when he was at 99 Ranch yesterday evening he saw some Tesla techs working on the cabinets. So I was going to suggest someone swing by to see if they got powered up.

Got this place to myself. 12 of 16 pedestals are lit up (the southern ones are dark).

PS. Dumb question: Did we get this site’s city/name resolved for sure?

Most superchargers opened in the last two years have been named after the postal city, using either the street name or shopping center name to disambiguate if needed, so it seems very likely to be either Richmond, CA - Pierce St or Richmond, CA - Pacific East Mall.
