Some equipment has already been delivered, and a strip of pavement is already torn up near the existing light poles.

Seems to be a decent fill for the KC metro. Hoping Clinton, MO might get something to help make it to Springfield with ease.

Forgot to post these. These are from last Saturday. So they are probably further along now.

Agreed, I have family there and keep voting for it whenever possible. It is a big gap in Western Mo along the way to the Lake and Springfield. Plus it's just a nice town to visit. The Belton SC will be great for me to drive there in case I need to top up.

Osceola has some fast chargers in at Port Gas Station by Sugarfoor BBQ. Not sure which it is… obviously not Tesla but useful perhaps.

I know I vote for a Branson supercharger when it’s on the tesla webpage, but I’m noticing that the belton one was never up for voting. Makes me think the vote aspect is just “advertising” touch points with the community and there are plans for everything anyway.

I'm Surprised that Sedalia doesn't have charging options.

I stopped by today (10/18/23) and they have removed the construction fence so that you can have access to the charging stations. Everything seems to be 'hooked up' but the car shows 'No Power' when you plug in the charging cable. The location does not show up on the car navigation system under chargers.
There is no construction debris onsite at all. Parking lines are painted.
The craving station have a number system that is new to me.

So it looks like we are just waiting on the paperwork and final approval to FLIP THE SWITCH... LOL and waiting with bated breath.

Are you just used to seeing A/B on the charging pedestals? Those are for v1 and v2 Supercharger sites (150 kW and lower) which have two charging pedestals per cabinet. The newer v3 Supercharger sites support 250 kW per vehicle and have a different architecture (4 pedestals per cabinet), so they get A/B/C/D suffixes. The v2 and v3 Supercharger cabinets have a LOT different shape/design to them.

We stopped by and watched Evergy hook up some wires on the power pole on friday afternoon. They did not get finished and will have to come back.

Saturday afternoon, 10/21/23
All hooked up on power pole, but will not open charge port. Car does not charge when plugged in manually.
Does not show up on navigation . I suppose it hasn’t been fully commissioned. It looks like all the physical work is completed though.

Still no power. Installer was there watering the grass around the transformer. He said power should be on by next week. He also gave me his 'card' (door hanger)
