So, the Natick station is up and running?

But ICE'd ...

Emailed Petty, his reply:

Once the station is commissioned (any day now according to utility) we will be installing the restricted parking signs.

Ah, good to know - thanks.

Unfortunately they put the stations too close to the building. Unless they actively enforce the parking restrictions with tickets, I suspect they will be constantly ICEd.

Telsa's older SuperChargers in CT on 95 are positioned similarly, and every time I've driven by them they are partially or fully ICEd. E.g., Darien CT has 2 separate stalls of 2 on opposite sides of the parking lot. When I was looking to plug in last time I thankfully got there just as some random SUV left, so that I could charge.

Natick will be tested and commissioned tomorrow morning sometime.
Power has finally been connected.

From the DOT:

I will verify payment process tomorrow. It is my understanding that until we implement a fee there will be no cards required. Simply press screen options.


Framingham - Still work required by utility. Station activation may be sometime in mid to late July.

Lee West- Station installed. Activation should occur in the next 2 weeks. Waiting on utility.

Lee East- Still some site work required. Should be active in 3-4 weeks.

Charlton East- Still coordinating work with utilities, activation may be late July, early August.

Charlton West- Utility work should be scheduled in the next two weeks, activation mid to late July.


Multiple units per site is still up in the air. We hope that the VW settlement will provide those resources. Sites already have the service capacity, conduit, and designs to accept at least two additional stations.

Framingham westbound is up, at least according to Plugshare, haven't had a chance to check it yet.

Natick has had no issues in it's first two months. Lee westbound is up.

That leaves Lee eastbound and both sides at Charlton. Should be soon.
