I'M SURPRISED TESLA BUILT THIS SUPERCHARGER THIS WAY - FULL SITE TOUR OF NEW CHARLOTTE SUPERCHARGER

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth tour of Tesla's new Supercharger site in Charlotte, NC, highlighting its unique installation within a parking garage. The reviewer expresses surprise at Tesla's approach, particularly the decision to route conduits through the parking deck's structural concrete, which necessitated the involvement of structural engineers in addition to electrical and civil teams. This complexity is noted as atypical for Supercharger installations. The tour details the power infrastructure, from the 1500 KVA Duke Energy transformer and 2000 amp Lincoln Electric switchboard to the four Version 3 Supercharger cabinets, each capable of 250 kW. The reviewer points out the unusual ordering of cabinets and the specific conduit runs feeding the dispensers. While the video doesn't focus on a specific Tesla vehicle's performance, it offers valuable insight into the engineering and logistical challenges behind deploying advanced charging infrastructure in urban environments.
