Spokane Wa Supercharger?

[Vancan]

Anybody know whether the "arriving soon" supercharger scheduled for Spokane has arrived? Will be driving through there in about 10 days on a "around the US" road trip. There is one in Coeur d'Alene not too far but arriving late at night...
Thanks!

Definitely not there yet. I’d use it if it existed. There’s a Chademo downtown if that helps...

I know that in a general sense, one location in the United States is not directly related to another, but this one is close enough of a region to set me off. It would royally piss me off if they added a Supercharger in Spokane, 64 miles from Ritzville, and 30 miles from Coer d'Alene, while the 300+ mile route through the Oregon Bermuda Triangle remains unconnected.

Dude — they’re going to add chargers where people and cars are and go first. I’d love to have US95 superchargered, but at the same time I totally get why they’re putting more on I-90 and all through California first.

. Driving US95 from Couer d'Alene Idaho to Boise Idaho tomorrow. Overnight layover in Grangeville at the Super 8 destination charger. A SuC along the way would make it a one day trip. The next day doing the US95 trip from Boise to Winnemucca, NV. Nice to have a SuC along that route. Instead using a level 2 in McDermott, NV. Going these routes bypass a couple hundred miles of Interstates. 2014 P85+. What bothers me are the concentrations of SuCs near each other, like in the SF Bay Area and yet leave wide open legit routes that save hundreds of miles.

I just did this trip last month including the overnight in Grangeville. The Super 8 there is surprising nice.
If you are getting range anxiety closer to Boise stop for lunch in McCall. Shorelodge has 14-50 outlets that they let me use for free while we had lunch.
The Supercharger in Boise is at the Oxford Inn at the intersection of I-84 and I-184. Nice hotel and a very good breakfast.
I completely agree that US 95/Idaho 55 is totally neglected and much more needed than filling in Superchargers along the interstates.

We just got home, back to the SF Bay Area. I have to say the US 95 trip through Idaho was a highlight of our 10 day road trip. All of you live in a great area! The layover in Grangeville worked out well. We did stop for a level 2 charge in Lewiston at the Indian Casino on the way. Friendly people and a nice display of their history & heritage. We spent much of the time with the guy who runs security there, chatting it up. Anyway, The Mexican Restaurant in Grangeville has great food. Destination charger worked out.

John, you are right, the last leg to Boise we stopped in McCall. The Shore Lodge is a treat to visit. We charged up on the 14-50 and enjoyed lunch on the deck overlooking the Marina. McCall reminded us of Tahoe City at North Lake Tahoe in California. Great trip. Thanks for the advice & tips!

I wasn't super excited about the $25 to charge at Shore Lodge in McCall, so I was seeing what else was available, and I noticed a new one along this route that just showed up on Plugshare in the past week or so. It's at the Roseberry Plaza shopping center in Donnelly. It looks like two people redundantly added it to Plugshare, because it showed up first as a public station (green icon), and then when I checked this morning, I see that apparently the owner added it as a "home" residential station being offered (blue house icon). Either way, they show a 14-50 outlet, and a Tesla wall connector that are both available for free 24/7 access. There aren't any checkins on it yet, but that looks promising. And Donnelly is tiny, so there are restaurants a few blocks away from that shopping plaza on the main street.

Hi, good to know there are alternative charging options in the area. Although, we drove into the Shore Lodge parking lot and plugged right in. We went inside and enjoyed a great lunch on the deck overlooking the Marina. We left without offering the $25. No guilt since I spent much more than that on lunch!

Any word on if there’s been ground broken on this supercharger? Or if it’ll be an urban one in a parking garage downtown?

Oops, I just started a new thread in the Pacific Northwest section with information on a new 8 stall supercharger under construction just outside Spokane, WA (near the airport). When I searched TMC for an existing thread, I forgot to search outside the regional sections. Oh, well. New supercharger construction at 10506 W. Aero Rd under discussion at: Supercharger - Spokane, WA
