The user followed up to say, “Thanks to the post yesterday of Superchargers spotted being delivered to Victoria, I went and had a look around likely candidate locations and found this suspicious, 12 parking spot construction work on the lowest level of the Uptown mall. The local [electricians] working on it confirmed it was to be the new Supercharger.”
