North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

[mikerwalsh]

It appears, according to Plugshare, that Greenlots is putting in DC fast chargers in St Cloud, Fergus Falls and Fargo. If they continue across North Dakota along I 94 (OK that's a big if), I might have to invest in a CHAdeMO adapter. How annoying if they beat Tesla to North Dakota! Edit-actually the Fargo one is across the Red River in Moorhead, so still nothing in North Dakota. Sigh, so close!

Does Elon's tweet mean the ND chargers will be done next summer?? I Expect Not. I expect Tesla can not get construction done at that speed. I would expect Dickenson and Fargo and Alexandria and maybe one more will max out the years construction capacity,

Bottom line Elon is over promising again.

Looks to be very recent, the first fast charger near ND is online. There is 1 Greenlots dual charger and 2 basic chargers, 1 exit away from Fargo at Noodles & Co. (photo from PlugShare)

Is that the 1st or 2nd iPace in Minnesota?

What about Alaska and Hawaii? And why not Guam?!

Hawaii because you drive around the whole thing without needing charging

I'm not sure where you get that, there are multiple companies that do the installs, and the one I spoke to in SD last year could do them in a matter of weeks when materials were available. They also have been doing more and more installs meaning they are more and more efficient.

Finally put in for my model 3 order, take delivery in March out here in Dickinson. Hoping for progress this summer! It was a hard battle to convince the wife to put a purchase down without the superchargers in place yet, if they don't go up I may not survive the year.

I hope that when you wrote “survive”, you were joking. Hopefully, you’re not near one of these injection wells:

I sure hope they build a Fargo one soon!

Have you been to Big Island? It got its name because it is.....big. Twice the size of Delaware, four times the size of Rhode Island and nearly as large as Connecticut. Definitely could use a charging location when showing people around the island.

FYI, my brother owns a Model S, which he has with his other electric car (I think it is a 40 year old Mercury Lynx), on the Big Island. I think he may be bringing it back to the continent this summer to travel a bit...

So, today's big news from Elon is the $35k Model 3. I'm so disappointed. I thought he was going to announce a Supercharger in Fargo ND.

Now that would be big news!

Since ND was skipped for SCs altogether, can we have V3 as our standard instead of being 5 years behind... again?

 

[VIKING26]

I really hope that the V3 announcement will not contain some variation of the words 'and all current supercharger stations will be retrofitted by the end of the year'. Because 1) they won't meet a crazy deadline and 2) the ND superchargers won't happen again this year if they are focused on retrofitting.

I don't think it will be a retrofit personally, just from what little is known about V3. They need new cords and I'm assuming new inventors to handle the load/max load. I just need SCs, not even worried about V3 right now since I can't use them Ok, but parent's 3 can probably benefit a little.

Super good news! And the biggest upside? North Dakota will get V3 chargers! It will be the first state in the union to be 100% V3! Good things come to those who wait. And wait. Just gotta get that first one to get the ball rolling.

Source?

Source is that since they're not retrofitting, it'll be first unless Alaska beats them to getting one...
