I noticed it said west 3rd...that location makes the most sense imo.
the east side location would be a better location from "do something while the car charges" perspective imo bc it's connected to the shopping mall, has more eating/dining choices, and is more walkable. And I'm generally on the east side more than the west
but I'm extremely cool that's it's on the west side. I'm just happy Bloomington is finally on the road toward getting a supercharger.
Sure. It'd be nice if there was something in the permit record that pointed to superchargers specifically, instead of just generic "charging station". But, with possible confirmation originally coming from @ClearBraIndy that they know or heard from a reliable source it was a supercharger, I don't think that's a big deal.
Also:
1) It follows other activity in Indiana
2) Is in a city indicated as a 2019 location
3) Is at a supermarket of a company closely linked to Tesla-friendly Meijer.
4) It makes the Supercharge.info map look better.
In the meantime, could @doug or @Doug_G move all the posts after #14 (inclusively) to this thread because with all the posts being in that thread, it is more about the Bloomington Supercharger than Kokomo, in the Kokomo thread!

Elberfeld per the map. Although there is *nothing* in Elberfeld. I can't figure out where they would put it there. I still think maybe Meijer in Evansville.

Looks like construction of Superchargers have begun. They are the east side of the Fresh Thyme building.
It will most certainly go at one of the truck stops in Haubstadt, hopefully the Love's. In fact, if I were in the area, I would go scout them now. Based on the Bloomington activity, there could be construction going on there as well.
Evansville is far too big a diversion for I-64 traffic.
I think they meant they'd like something near the I-69/I-64 intersection. Elberfeld, IN doesn't have an exit right by it.
Closest thing to I-64/I-69 is a minimart near I-69 exit 22.
So, if any Tesla owner happens to be local to that area, persuading the minimart to contact Tesla could be useful.
Great! So no need to look much further than the permit. Location has been added on Supercharge Info. 8 stalls, right?

Apart from that 1 mini-mart it looks like there's nothing of note close to the I-64/I-69 intersection, so Tesla might cut their losses and put in separate locations.

* I-69 is planned to pass by Nacogdoches, TX. A lot of I-69 is unbuilt, so the 839 miles from Nacogdoches, TX runs along other Interstates.

I still think it'll go at the Meijer in Evansville. There's nothing near that 64/69 interchange. Meijer isn't that far off the beaten path.
BTW, lots more pics on the Indiana Tesla FB group of Bloomington. It's nearly complete - already got some cabinets and wiring done. Maybe December or January due to holidays.

It’s definitely V3. The 2 large wood boxes cover the conduits for 4 pedestals. Each V3 SC Cabinet feeds 4 pedestals. The transformer will be to the Right of the 3 switch gear cabinets.
