Yet those of us who already own EVs are stuck paying a fine every year, and there's still practically no fast chargers in western Illinois.

For people thinking of attending the Indy 500 in the future. Getting into the Speedway SC before the race when coming in from the interstate was really easy and with 250kW adding enough to get back out again was fast. Be sure you charge before the race. After the race, traffic control is...

Was able to use it just fine. No congestion problems.

I really doubt income from Supercharging is funding roll out of the Supercharger network, its really more of a situation where Supercharger build out generate sales of Tesla's cars in areas which then fund more roll out of Superchargers. What a CCS adapter enables is more places to invest in...

Had a chance to use the Supercharger over the weekend when I was in Peoria. Showed up in the phone app, but the car's navigation wouldn't allow me to set it as a destination yet to get pre-conditioning. Otherwise totally trouble free.

Seeing construction pin on supercharge.info at what looks like the right spot!

Its not where I would have picked for a Supercharger in Peoria, but that's really not bad. Just off War Memorial near the I-74 exit and relatively easy to get in and out of from the Interstate.

Supercharge.info had put a pin on their map early last year, but this is the first that Tesla have acknowledged it.

Didn't get a chance to stop in Waterloo since I was catching a ride. Disappointing that it sounds like its been pushed off to next year. Infrastructure in this area is still really bad and Tesla really needs to do something about it. Even if its just discounts for the CHAdeMO adapter.

I'm going to be passing through Waterloo this weekend and I'll try to check out the Hy-Vee to see if there's any sign of Supercharger construction. Disappointingly, I'm going to be catching a ride in an ICE car for this trip. Without a SC in Waterloo there's just no way to make the trip without...

Yet another Chicago area Supercharger, but still no word on Superchargers for I-88 or I-74 in western Illinois. Illinois needs more fast chargers outside of Chicago.

Thanks for the pictures, I hadn't actually seen one of their stations yet. Is it two combo CHAdeMO/CCS or just one combo and one CCS? Third-party L3 chargers are really starting to be a thing for driving around in Iowa. Makes me want to order the CHAdeMO adapter, and wish that Tesla would hurry...

Are you sure they're going to be L2 chargers? Waterloo was also supposed to get another L3 charger as part of the network MidAmerican was building out across Iowa. They've typically been installing two which would match what we're seeing in the ground. EV fast-charging network across Iowa DC...

Didn't notice any obvious signs of new chargers, or any work to upgrade existing chargers while I was in Peoria yesterday. Spoke to a manager at the Grand Prarie Hy-Vee by phone the other day, and they didn't know anything about getting Superchargers or any other L3 charging upgrades. Lockdown...

Has anyone heard anything or come across any information about the location of the upcoming Peoria IL Supercharger? I'm going to be heading that way down I-74 for the first time in a while this week, so I could drop in and take some pictures if we know where its going to be. I've looked, but it...
