However - over in Mountain View / Tesla seems LATE in delivering a dozen(?) stall large capacity EV recharge station. It is on Grant Road, near El Camino behind the Ranch 99 Market.

This has been going on for several Months - after the first very large electrical cabinets and transformers were installed - and a couple months further, since the individual car stations have been installed. IS PG&E again at fault for delays (remember back to 'the fuel generators' needed to run Vargas School in it's first months of operation)?
