Nebraska I-80 Supercharger route delayed until 2016
- Thread starter derowland
- Start date
Thanks for asking: I would be traveling from the Boston, MA area to Thedford, Nebraska (north of North Platte, on Highway 2). I could take the I-90 route, then head south from Murdo, but I'd rather stay south and do I-70 (or, if I'm lucky, I-80)
We're looking forward to stopping by for a bit of a charge going from Holdrege, NE to Council Bluffs. We'll be by on Sunday, May 29th. Hope that works for you.
I'm hoping they get started on the I-80 Superchargers soon. I have an S on order but have delayed delivery since there's no easy way for me to visit relatives in Kearney. Coming from the Denver metro area, it could be possible via I-70 instead of I-76 but it would be a long detour through Goodland or Hays. There are a few J1772 chargers in Kearney but I'm hoping I'll be able to charge on my father's 240v dryer outlet.
Once they start building out I-80 and I-76, it will be easy to make the trip via Sterling and North Platte.

Peru, IL just went online yesterday. Hopefully that's a sign that they'll start moving west on I-80 this summer.
I've delayed my delivery a few months since it would be difficult for me to get across Nebraska without Superchargers. My father is getting a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed today so I won't have to borrow his dryer outlet after all.

If you stay overnight in Lincoln, the WunderRoost B&B has a 14-50. I stay there fairly regularly.Peru, IL just went online yesterday. Hopefully that's a sign that they'll start moving west on I-80 this summer.

I know the 2016 map isn't set in stone but it looks to me like they would put them in Sidney, North Platte and Grand Island, skipping Ogallala and Kearney. I think Ogallala would be to close to Sidney and Sterling. Hopefully we'll find out for sure this summer.
It's really great to see Coralville, IA get on the I-80 plan. Hoping to see Nebraska next. I'd vote for Grand Island and North Platte. That would make a convenient 150 mile distance from Council Bluffs, IA to GI to NP. Moving Westward, Sidney is a great stopping spot (Cabelas) and would be a perfect SC location. After Sidney, it's a short hop to Cheyenne, WY where there is already a SC. C'mon Tesla ... make it happen.
Based on the recent news from the Ruby Tuesdays restaurant chain, and their allusion to more Tesla superchargers showing up at their restaurant locations - I'll just point out that there is a Ruby Tuesday restaurant in North Platte NE, Grand Island NE, and Kearney NE. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some of these locations get superchargers.
Yep, in my opinion, those are the key cities in Nebraska and would REALLY be nice to see some activity around Ruby Tuesday's national push for Tesla SC locations. Grand Island's Ruby Tuesday's location is a ways off the Interstate, but North Platte and Kearney wouldn't be bad at all. I'd like to see the Grand Island Holiday Inn on I-80 be that location.
