Charging in the Twin Cities

[giantbeer]

I've recently accepted a new job in the twin cities area and will be renting a temporary apartment for a few months. Neither the apartment nor my office has charging available. I can either drive the MS out to MN or my old Acura. I obviously want to take the MS. Charging options seem to be limited - no superchargers and the only other chargers are not conveinient to me at all. My apartment is across the street from the office so I won't be driving much during the week. I think I'll only need weekly charging. I notice there are chargers at the airport - question is, will using the airport chargers on the weekend drive me batty? Any experience with how busy they are? If I can't get one, I'll be toast for the rest of the week.

Secondly, any idea when that supercharger is coming to Minneapolis is 2016?

Any CHAdeMO DCFC stations around? There is a number of them in Minneapolis, according to plugshare dot com.

You don't indicate where your apartment/office is in the area. There may be a Level 2 close by that you could use overnight or while at work. As mentioned above, you might want to check Plugshare for charging locations; there are a bunch of CHAdeMo's in the local area though most of them have a fee. Charging at a Level 2 would be miserable unless you drive very few miles or need to spend serious time somewhere. I don't mind doing that when I drive to one of our other offices and will spend 10 hours at work but hanging around the mall or airport would be a drag.
