Tesla Starts Construction on 44-Stall Supercharger at Venice Crossroads in L.A. [PICS]
After Tesla was approved to build a new Supercharger station in Los Angeles last March, new photos show that construction is finally set to begin on the site.
Tesla is starting construction on the new 44-stall Supercharger station in Los Angeles, due open in the third quarter, according to a photo shared on the Tesla Motors Club forum on Sunday.
The photos show several different kinds of construction materials and packaged Supercharger stalls that were dropped off at the site — located atop a neighborhood Sprouts in a parking structure.
The L.A. Tesla Supercharger is located at 8985 Venice Blvd. at the city’s Venice Crossroads Center and is set to include a total of 44 V3 charging stalls.
The photos were posted in response to the original March 2021 thread showing the L.A. Supercharger station’s initial permit application, to which many users expressed that the Sprouts parking lot was under-used and would make for a helpful charging spot.
In the original thread, one user said, “I have shopped there. And that rooftop lot gets very little use. This seems like a great location, right off the Robertson offramp from I-10. In addition to Sprouts, there is starbucks, mod pizza, and a couple of other places to eat on the same property.”
