Supercharger - Bernalillo, NM

[Raisin45567]

Unfortunately the “permit” for this and several other key NM locations is simply a “locate request” which is just a request to get utilities info - telephone, electricity, water, etc. that might be underground and not a permit to build anything. It may not even be a commitment to the site but purely exploratory. It’s been over a year wait already and no building permit has shown up. I guess we’ll keep waiting……

Wondering why NM appears to be a laggard in supercharger build out?

Especially Bernalillo which has a Tesla service center!

I expect it has to do as much with population density as anything. They've built out most of the interstate areas, though I am surprised that Taos and Durango still have no superchargers. Lots of Teslas now in Santa Fe and similar areas. Tesla is building as a fast as they can and certainly have to prioritize. Still, it seems like just a few strategic supercharger stations in this state and southern CO would make an enormous difference.

Durango is in the works: Supercharger - Durango, CO (pending final City approval)

Prob waiting on approval of state funding for chargers under the IRA. I recall reading a few weeks ago in the New Mexican that Tesla was granted 7 locations of the 22 sites to be funded by the State of New Mexico. Bernalillo & Wagon Wheel were among them.

Hopefully the Non-Tesla locations will have NACS too

Ironically the IRA is then slowing down construction of chargers, at least for a little while...

Yes, I wonder when that transition will start hitting non-Tesla FDCCs. Ford has announced availability of its CCS to NACS adapter, but I think they're the only one.

The first NEVI funded site in Kentucky went in with CCS plugs with a promise to put NACS in "later this year". Sigh.
