I've moved some posts over to Effects of Winter on Energy Consumption (we had wandered pretty far from Superchargers).

More West Farms Mall photos for fueling our excitement. This is the West Hartford, CT location tucked away behind a Red Robbin. Within 1 minute walk is a D'angelos and Trader Joe's. 5 minute walk across the street to the mall where there is a nice P.F. Changs restaurant. Shouldn't see much in the way of ICEing as the charging stations are tucked away from the obvious parking areas.
Thanks for the update -- very excited to see this location come on line soon, as it'll be my gateway out of Maine, at least until Auburn is up.

Nice pics! Are the tarps to try to keep it a secret?
Probably to keep it dry, and maybe even a little warm to help the concrete to cure properly. It looks like there is still open excavation underneath.
This daytime picture confirms what I thought and that it is going to be tight getting into these chargers. One will have to stop traffic to back into these stalls and conversely pull out into traffic to leave. I will admit I don't frequent Corbins Corner, especially behind Red Robin, but this looks like it will be tricky depending on how much traffic there is on that road.

Thanks to everyone for the scouting and pictures. Because it can be a little daunting for some to find the diffuse info on TMC, and there is now a dedicated thread under Charging Standards and Infrastructure with a dedicated thread called Supercharger West Hartford, CT, how about posting new info and pictures there so that is it easier for users. That area has evolved to be the centralized location for Superchargers under construction.
See Supercharger - West Hartford, CT - Page 2 for an example of someone searching for info.
West Hartford and West Springfield are going to become quite the tag team of Superchargers, now when is Portsmouth, NH going to start? :biggrin:
There are no permits applied for through September. The local mall is located in Newington and I don't see anything on their planning board agenda or minutes. There is no list of issued permits in Newington.
NH really doesn't seem to be a priority.
I know that a Model S owner volunteered to host a SC at his commercial location in the West Lebanon area. There's been no obvious movement on it, and it couldn't get much easier for Tesla - great location, willing property owner, plenty of power available, etc.
NH really doesn't seem to be a priority.
Seriously? That's very disappointing. Please try involving Mat and/or Jerome Guillen.
This has been what many of us have seen in the northeast. Several of us have contacted the person in Maine who is in charge of business innovation/making Maine business friendly. he has spoken to TM on a couple occasions about the willingness of several businesses to host SCs....and.....nothing.
Who's Mat? I've seen Jerome mentioned periodically.
The lack of a SC on the Boston to Hanover route is my last real holdup on purchasing. At least twice a month, I need to make quick round trip runs to the Hanover/West Leb area, with no opportunity (or time) for destination charging (actually, it's twice a week through the end of this year). I really need that SC in West Leb/WRJ or Hooksett to make it viable.
Mat Boarman is the Watertown Service Center Manager. He has been supporting the Destination Charging program, and I expect he's passing on info about Supercharger candidate locations as well.
It's really too bad they aren't in place and you don't have your S - twice a week to the end of the year is 5000 miles right there...
Superchargers are sorely needed on that route. I can make it from Cambridge to Sunapee and back, even in winter (100 miles each way), but Hanover is just too far. Lately to get to our place south of Plattsburgh, NY I take the long sides of the triangle via I-90 and I-87 and stop midway at the Albany Supercharger. But I'd rather go via NH and VT, and they're needed for ski areas, espedially those without destination charging.
NH really doesn't seem to be a priority.
There's some hope near the bottom of this page: Open E-mail to the SuperCharger Team / Skiing in New England/upstate New York this Winter | Forums | Tesla Motors
I read that last paragraph as they have a West Leb location in the works. I won't give away the specifics of Newampster's location, but as he mentions, it's close to 89, food/shopping, and power.
