How Does Tesla Build a Supercharger Charging Site?

As more public charging stations are built, electric-car drivers have access to increasingly-large areas of the U.S.

Owners of the Tesla Model S plug-in car largely rely on the company's Supercharger network, which can now facilitate a cross-country trip on one route, with more to come. But what does it actually take to build a Supercharger station? A lot of digging, apparently.

This diagram and photos of Electric Conduit Construction working at a new Supercharger site in Goodland, Kansas, surfaced on Teslarati. They show a bit of the process of intsalling DC fast-charging stations--which involves trenching and running high-capacity electric cables well before the charging stations themselves are installed.
