Since I see no Maine SCs on the chart I will add some info here. I can confirm that TM is looking at three 'areas' in Maine as a minimum. I know because my brother lives in Maine and has put a member of the Freemont based SC team in contact with the person in charge of business development for the state of Maine. I know TM is interested in Kittery, Portland and Bangor. Beyond that I have NO additional information about whether the talks have been successful in cutting through 'red tape' in local municipalities and whether other spots are under consideration.
These conversation between TM and Maine officials took place in June 2014.
I do not know if this should be added to the chart or not and be given the designation as 'hearsay'. I will let people more familiar with 'SC speak' decide what to do with this information.
The Supercharger Progress wiki has some hearsay entries.
Did they specifically say Portland for the Portland area? A spot near the Maine Mall in South Portland would seem like an obvious location since it sits between I-95 and I-295 and near the Southern intersection.
Maine is very municipally based, so speed would depend on the city.
CMP's advertising that they extended their Greater Portland program for business plug-ins, so hopefully they'll be helpful when it comes to the installations in Southern Maine.
