Supercharger - Hannibal, MO

[ratsbew]

I have tested out the Wakonda State Park 14-50 before. It works, but that's no way to travel. Once the Hannibal and Mt. Pleasant, Iowa superchargers are built you shouldn't have any troubles making the trip. I think COVID has slowed down the rollout process.

I had family passing through check Casey's yesterday. Looks like underground lines have been marked, but nothing beyond that.

I'll likely be passing through next weekend. I'll take a look too and see what's going on. Weather should be nice to get some work done.

I'm in Fairfield, Iowa about 23 miles west of Mount Pleasant. We own an M3 LR and before COVID had planned a trip to St. Louis to check out the service center there. At 215 miles it should be no problem for us on a full charge. Hearing that SCs are planned for both Mount Pleasant and Hannibal, MO is good news. I like Kum and Go for a site. The Kum and Go in Fairfield has a free charger and they even keep a Tesla adapter behind the front counter.

Kum & Go might be a possibility. Tesla has installed multiple Superchargers in Colorado at Kum & Go locations and several more are planned.

I stopped at the Casey's location on May 25th and didn't see any signs of construction yet.

Bummed to hear this hasn't made much progress. I live in the Iowa City, IA area and am driving down to Florida in July and would have loved to have this station up and running in order to make the trek through St. Louis easy. Since this and Mt. Pleasant aren't going to be completed, I may just have to go east and then south through Illinois instead.

With my 2020 LR AWD, ABRP is saying that if I start 100% from home, I'd have to stay at 55mph to make it to the next charger outside St. Louis.

 

[ratsbew]

Yeah, kind of a bum deal. Honestly though, as an "early adopter" I kind of like the puzzle and "hardship" in a weird kind of way. 5-10 years from now we'll be able to look back and remember that we were there in the beginning of the EV revolution.

Yah, that's too bad. You can drive over here to Davenport and head down 74 maybe. It shouldn't be too much out of the way. I have my fingers crossed that either Mt. Pleasant or Quincy is done by Christmastime since my in-laws live in central MO and the only real way to get there now is drive an hour out of the way via Des Moines.

Really need the Hannibal Missouri supercharger to get from Marion Iowa to the lake of the Ozarks. Does anyone have any pictures of the site construction so far?

There is no site construction so far, picture will only show the Casey's and the lot.

 

[bgill]

Called City Hall again and they said permits and everything are in place, just waiting for Tesla to get construction crews onsite.

 

[ratsbew]

Thanks for the update. We'll have to do a Tesla road trip up there to christen it once it's operational.

 

[ratsbew]

I stopped by Casey's yesterday on my way through Hannibal. There is some orange paint down along the curb that I assume is related to the Supercharger site. The paint looks like it was put down in the past week. Hopefully we see construction activity soon.

I will be through Hannibal two times between now and July 13th. I'll keep everyone posted if there are changes.

 

[mociaf9]

There haven't been any calls to mark underground lines at the Casey's since February when the engineers for the supercharger build had a company take soil borings.

 

[mkjennison]

I called the Hannibal public works dept today to ask if there has been any status update or a potential install time. The nice individual on the phone told me that they are not involved in the timeline or construction, and they would just be involved by supplying the electricity for the chargers. So, no status update at this time sadly.

 

[voxelman]

Thank you for the update. The marks on the grass look fairly dated. Recent marks would be bright orange, yellow and blue depending on the service being marked. There also would probably be flags that have now been removed by lawn mowers.

 

[timhammond]

I will GREATLY appreciate this charger when it is finished. Any need for any contacts to be made still to ensure the completion?

 

[bgill]

At this point it seems that things are ready from the City Of Hannibal, so we would need to get a contact inside the Tesla group that handles work crews and or shipping hardware to the site. I've got no idea on how to find that type of contact.

I grew up in Hannibal and am familiar with the site. I hope the environmental site assessment gave a green flag.
