Supercharger - Benton Harbor, MI

[Snewmiller]

I’m guessing this is going to be the Benton Harbor, MI supercharger labeled as Q2. This location is about 2 miles east on I-94 from the current (overtaxed) supercharger in St. Joe. Going in at Meijer, like most new installs in the region.
Address: 1920 Pipestone Rd, Benton Harbor, MI 49022
GPS: (42.0820834, -86.4237584)

This is why I go grocery shopping, so I’ll keep an eye on things!

@MarcoRP this line up with any other information?

Looks very likely. Will wait for further confirmation (permit details or Tesla equipment on site) before adding to supercharge.info though!

Dang, I stopped having to go to Benton Harbor for work as of this year. Would have been nice not to use the St Joes one; lots of issues there.

Some information that would tend to confirm it as the supercharger build is that Martell Electric (the name on the container shown in the picture in the opening post) is also the building/electrical contractor for the the Portage, MI supercharger, this based on information linked in that thread.

It will be nice to have a reliable supercharger in that area but I still need to stop at the St Joe SC if the Hoopla! Frozen Yogurt place is open at the time! Very clean bathrooms and friendly workers. But the best reason to stop is the many flavors you can sample, a cup you can fill with as much and as many flavors as you can fit in the cup for $4! (You need to put food service gloves on.) Good thing it is 120 miles away.

Confirmed with workers that they are installing superchargers.

They were putting conduits into trenches

Not that anybody asked, but I found more accurate coordinates for the charger after construction started to be here:

42.082115067611745, -86.42384125331752

again, nobody asked, but I just like how accurate the coordinates on the car center display are, makes finding the bugger easier when they're hidden...

MI finally getting all the love from Tesla...

MI finally getting all the love from Tesla...

Marquette is almost done, Escanaba has started, Sault St Marie has something happening, Benton Harbor broke ground...

Finally. Just in time for me to move to the west coast

Does this look like 12 stations to anyone else?

 

[Big Earl]

Pretty busy today. Looks like they still have a few weeks to go.

 

[arch4life]

Seems like the only thing missing is the transformer, even the fencing is up

 

[frnkblk]

Status seems to be the same.

 

[frnkblk]

Three weeks later, anyone have updates?

 

[Big Earl]

One month later. How's it looking?
