Supercharger - Butte, MT - Grizzly Trl. (LIVE 25 Jan 2024, 8 V3 stalls)

[ImScotty]

A new 8 stall supercharger is coming to Rocker, MT. The name is still TBD, the address is Rocker, MT but Tesla has the pin on Butte, MT. So it could either be Rocker, MT or Butte - Grizzly Trail, MT.

This was discovered by Marco.

Got it. Tesla has this listed as Butte on their Coming Soon map, so that's what we'll call it.

I stopped by here last night, the lot showed no signs of construction or any work. The lot itself was in pretty rough shape. If they're putting them where I think they are it will be quite the walk to a restroom.

Here?

No dig ticket filed yet so nothing imminent other than electrical permit being issued. Could be next on the list after St Regis, Laurel and Billings.

That seems like the most reasonable placement of the chargers. It's right next to the casino, so 21+ bathrooms only unless you walk across the lot. It's not a huge walk but certainly a bit inconvenient if you have little kids with semis driving all over this lot.

Permit filed for today. Looks like Blackstone got this job as well!

That means these will be between the casino and town pump. Not as far east as expected. All the circles appear to be where the gas tanks are buried so avoiding them is a good idea.

Exactly where I placed the pin from the beginning.

Agreed, I am glad they are out front but a little concerned that they will be in a weird place if there. Vehicles enter on the left side of this photo with relatively quick speeds. Crossing through here or backing up to charge may present a lot of congestion.

Anyone been by recently? Underground conduits have already passed inspection as of Wednesday.

I'm going to use this as evidence of construction.

This location will be hard to get updates from. I will see if I can find someone locally to confirm this.

Looks like they’re using a new fabricated form that supports 4 stalls.

Yes, they have been using these PSU for at least a year. Makes installation very quick. All of the Town Pump locations appear to be using them.

Friend just drove by today and said it looks completed, but couldn’t see if there was a transformer yet. Sorry, no pictures. Also, he forgot to check out the two new Billings SCs.
