Meanwhile, while the world is getting V4 charger, one site- 1441 Richmond Avenue, Staten Island, NY- will celebrate TWO YEARS of being under construction on Sunday.
Yes, on December 1, 2022 work began on a 12 stall Tesla Supercharger, with two EVgo chargers as well. The installation of the chargers and Tesla transformers was done by around April, 2023. Then the site just sat...for months, then over a year. In August, Con Ed finally installed their transformers to hook the station up to the electric supply. I happen to be there that day and was told the station would be up and running the following month.
And chickens have lips.
The electric meters were installed sometime this month, but still no power.
Two of the three light posts were put up...then another three arrived because someone forgot to order three the first time. That third one is still waiting to be installed.
In any event, this clustef*ck of a site is just waiting for someone to tell Con Ed to turn on the power and for any testing to be done.
Everyone on Staten Island should get six months (at least) of free charging from this place because for the past two years, many of us have to travel 20 minutes to charge our cars.
It boggles my mind that Tesla can be building charging stations at an insane clip, retro fitting older ones with newer units, and this one just sits, unused, unopened for TWO EFFING YEARS!!!
Maybe Tesla's CEO should do something about this... if he can find time while he tries to eliminate half the Federal government.
