Visited on November 2. The construction of the Electra station had begun.

Kind of unrelated, but I also confirmed it's possible to park in the area outside to the east of the rest stop and access the rest stop on foot. It's a free parking with blue disc, like the rest stop itself. But despite the Electra chargers being right next to the fence, the cables probably won't be long enough to charge a car parked on the other side.

Visited on November 27, the foundations and Electraline totems have been installed.

The 2 poles on the left are on the curb, but the last one on the right is placed in the paved area due to the landscape.

I saw on LinkedIn they installed buffer batteries on the other side. I wonder if both sides will operate independently or if the buffer batteries and grid power will be shared between the 2 sides.

Visited on December 10. Asphalt and bollards added.

There are still gabarits for an additional construction in the grass. I suppose they might be getting their own transformer?

Visited on January 15. The chargers have been added and the spaces painted. It must be recent as they haven't covered the chargers (yet).

Interestingly, one charger has a CHAdeMO connector! It's also an HYC_300, so not every charger will have the same max speed. The other 2 HYC_400 are already featuring 400kW stickers. I was not able to see the stickers in front of the HYC_300 unit but most likely it's 300kW.

None of the spots appear to feature a handicap stripe on this side.

In the Electra app, all CCS connectors are listed at 400kW, but as previously observed that doesn't seem physically possible for 1+2.

CHAdeMO is also listed at 100kW. It's technically possible, but I doubt that's what is actually installed here.

Last weekend there was an inauguration event. But nobody on linkedIn mentions the date, so I'm not actually sure which day it was. The live data shows both Saturday and Sunday quite busy with many very short sessions.

I'm sad to have missed all invitations 😭

Visited on April 19 without charging.

The Electraline sign for charger 3 was not working.

I actually messed up my charger identification last time. My picture didn't quite show the charger model so since the the CHAdeMO charger had the old style spec sticker I assumed it would be an HYC_300 like every GOFAST CHAdeMO Alpitronic. But now that the charger was properly accessible I was able to read the full sticker and it's actually an HYC_400, just made elsewhere! So it really is 400kW on all CCS connectors.

The toilets are being renovated and there were signs saying to use the toilets outside. I wasn't really looking for that, but I couldn't tell you where it was outside, there was no clear signage. I saw it on my next visit, there is indeed a container with toilets but not sure if it's on both sides.

Visited on April 26 and did a short charge with autocharge, no issue.

I noticed that the CHAdeMO turns red when CCS number 1 is in use, so it seems like they might not have the 3-way switching matrix like most HYC_300? I'll need to study the live data and perhaps go test by myself how exactly the CHAdeMO behaves. It would be quite annoying to arrive here with a CHAdeMO car and finding a single other customer on spot 1 preventing you from charging.
