All in due time. We all wish the supercharger system would build out faster. If all the 'Tesla Killer' manufacturers would contribute even a small amount, the system would be more robust. We all have an opportunity to elect officials on the city, state and national level that will help tear down barriers and laws. I hope we utilize this opportunity to further the cause. Its a shame, IMO, that we are prohibited to put solar panels on our homes in Omaha. OPPD charges substantially more for electricity than its neighboring competitor Mid-American energy. Why? Omaha and NE and many other municipalities have politicians that rely on these businesses' money for reelection and therefore, their interests take priority over ours. We have no one to blame but ourselves, lets get out there and make a difference.

Nebraska I-80 Supercharger route delayed until 2016
- Thread starter derowland
- Start date
From this thread, it sounds like they might be skipping Kearney and North Platte for now and are placing them in Gothenburg and Grand Island instead.
Great news for a long overdue stretch. I'm very happy for those of you whose regular drives will be positively impacted by this development! I hope to pass through at some point before too long as well.
i think there was a post or two that mentioned one in Grand Island. This was according to the Construction Guy who said they were working on Ogallala, Gothenburg and Grand island at the same time. AFAIK, nobody has attempted to scout out Grand Island yet this week. Hopefully my father will take a look around Kearney today or tomorrow.
FWIW, I checked all the permits from 2016 here and there aren't any business permits for electric vehicle charging. Not sure how conclusive that is, but at least it'll save future thread participants from wasting their time as I did.
Thanks. I've been checking or subscribing to various towns for months but never heard about anything beforehand besides Lincoln. Ogallala and Gothenburg were pleasant surprises.FWIW, I checked all the permits from 2016 here and there aren't any business permits for electric vehicle charging.

From what I can tell, Hall County, NE (which I think is probably where the charger would most appropriately be placed) has only recently reinstated a building department, after 6 years of not having any building codes. They seem to have potentially opened their building department in June of this year. I cannot find any web presence for granted permits, but it's possible if someone calls them during government hours, they could find out if a permit has been granted.
Grand Island's jurisdiction is outside of the 80 corridor, so I suppose it's not surprising that I don't see a permit there. I think this would be in an unincorporated area of Hall County.
The Grand Island supercharger construction location is found. not far off interstate near a major truck stop.
