Yeah, weirdest supercharger situation I have seen in 5 years. I can only think of 2 possibilities. An infrastructure upgrade in prep for a real V4 site. Or, the original install was flawed in some way.

I guess that is progress. But, why would they want to prevent municipalities from modernizing?

@corywright @Chuq @Big Earl @Guacahummus This site is offline and is back under construction for an apparent upgrade from V3 to V4 pedestals.

Yeah, with ZERO activity right now and it’s already mid-April, I am concerned that 0 new superchargers in MN is even a possibility. :( Hopefully things will ramp up soon, but even if a half-dozen permits show up this summer, those sites may not get operational before next winter.

I charged at Gallup and Farmington NM on Tuesday. After reading comments here, I was a little concerned about Eclipse traffic coming home from the Midwest region. But, both sites were quiet and reliable!

Charged here on the ChargePoint DCFC units on Tuesday and Wednesday night; didn’t see any interesting construction activity.

Yeah, I have been advocating for Manitou Springs for 4 years now. (Or even Woodland Park). I have to use the 62kW ChargePoints in Manitou later this week. Crossing my fingers that it is not a fail and I am forced to drive downtown!

Stopped by the Mill today. No evidence of any charger related activity. :(

CO and AZ are going like gangbusters recently. 8 active permits in CO, but AZ takes the cake with 12! (Assuming I got my counts right; and completely ignoring activity in CA, of course.) Some other states are just being ignored entirely, like MN (with 0).

Ouch. Down chargers, slow chargers, a line, and no other supercharger sites within dozens of miles. :( But, 3 chargers down on a V2 site? Seems weird; almost impossible unless there was a damaged charger handle; had to actually be 2 or 4 (despite the evidence in the photo). :)

Well, the long trench along the centerline of parking spots seems promising…

Thanks. But, the rules of the game are: You have to get out and get a picture while reaching over the fence, or through the cracks! :) (We are hoping to see a bunch of conduit, or some Tesla equipment, etc.)

Cool! Thanks for posting the data. I had guestimated 7 for 2024, but now that I see this, I am revising my estimate down to 6. Just to be annoying. :) (Really hoping that I am wrong, though.)

Kyle Conner is finally getting a supercharger near his house… I bet we will see even more YouTube videos from Out of Spec now! :)
