I know various Midwest threads have discussed this topic, but I would like to centralize the conversation.
I'm conducting a poll, and would like feedback on the preferred location for the North East Michigan Super Charger: Saginaw or Bay City.
Theoretically speaking :wink:, if the locations choices were either the Meijer in Bay City Michigan (E, 2980 Wilder Rd, Bay City, MI 48706) or the Meijer in Saginaw (3360 Tittabawassee Rd, Saginaw, MI 48604), which is more desirable?
Things to consider:
1) Bay City has an older Meijer store that has no other real amenities nearby.
2) Bay City has easy access from the highway, but only a stand-alone Meijer. The walk to the Cracker Barrel & Steak house will be long in the winter.
3) Bay City is 11 miles north of Saginaw, which creates a 22 mile trip to super charge, if one is traveling from Metro-Detroit a round trip.
4) Saginaw is a higher traffic area, but has more amenities in the surrounding area.
5) Saginaw is 11 miles closer from Metro Detroit and 97 Miles from Ann Arbor Super Charger
6) Tesla's mission of Super Chargers being 100 Miles apart (Ann Arbor, Cadillac, theoretically Gaylord, Port Huron)
I'd greatly appreciate, any input from people who are familiar with the area or owners who will be affected by the location. And if everyone could comment over the next few days, that too would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
