Summary

City staff said Tesla’s charging station remains in design and permitting, but PG&E advised that required power upgrades are not expected to be complete until about September 2027, delaying energization despite ongoing local planning work.

Staff told the commission that Tesla is continuing to advance plans but that PG&E has indicated power-infrastructure upgrades could delay full activation until September 2027. "PG and E expects upgrades not to be a complaint till September 2027," staff reported, noting utility lead times and equipment needs as factors in the schedule.

Staff said they had urged PG&E's local representative to consider expediting the work because the project supports regional I‑5 corridor traffic needs, and that Tesla intends to submit construction documents soon to keep the project moving through the city’s permitting process.
