Supercharger - Chemult, OR - US-97 (permit approved Mar 2024, 8 V3 stalls)

[Mrbrock]

A Land Use Compatibility Statement has been issued for an 8 stall supercharger at the Diamond Lake Junction Cafe in Chemult. Tesla is still required to apply for a permit once it has been confirmed they can build at this site.

Oh yes. Please, please let this be true.

Incredible location! Here's a picture I took of the Diamond Lake Junction Cafe on a road trip over the summer. It's at the end of the road... 9 miles away

This is huge. Definitely get range anxiety between Springfield and K Falls...hoping there's something in the works to fill in K Falls and Susanville.

A Crater Lake supercharger has been near the top of my wish list for awhile. Really excited to here there's a prospective site!

Any idea how long it takes to get a Land Use Compatibility Statement review done?

I think it being issued means it has passed. If there’s any doubt, Tesla has submitted electric and structural permits at this location. Will be fun to follow.

@Big Earl @Guacahummus @corywright Is this enough for a blue cone?

Great for National Park access!

 

[ninerbynature]

very excited for this

 

[Dihewidd]

I am ecstatic!!!!!!!

Yay! Drive between Portland and Klammath falls should be like an hour shorter thanks to this, my meager 200 miles of range wasn't enough to make it from Springfield to Klammath Falls in the past.

 

[Girrockz]

I pass 5 times a year i hate charging at Klammath falls it’s 30 min detour, so excited for this one too!

Yes, probably one of the best locations for a SC I have seen in a long time. Ideal for people from central and upper Oregon to drive south to visit Crater Lake.

Potential fallback option for keeping tabs on this one if we don’t have anyone going by such a remote area regularly:

This ODT camera is pointed towards at the cafe listed in the permit(behind the intersection in the background): https://tripcheck.com/RoadCams/cams/OR138 near US97 E_pid4844.jpg (image link should auto update if I understand how tripcheck works).

Obviously it’s pretty potato quality and might not show the part of the property the supercharger gets built in. But if they put a bunch of fencing up on the open north side of the lot, I think you could see that on here?

Permit has been approved and is marked ready to issue. Also need to pay permit fees. Will be interesting to see if the camera catches the construction.

This would shave at least an hour off my drive from Boise to Coos Bay. Previously had to go Burns->Bend->Creswell and down I5 and over. Now I’d be able to go Burns cut across through Christmas valley to the diamond lake junction to charge then over 138 to Winston and over to the coast via highway 42. Shorter total mile route (536mi vs 562mi) and two supercharger stops instead of three. Huge improvement!

No construction or any signs of charger at the location yet, just lots of dirt, mud and snow

Permit has not been issued according to main permit page and dig ticket has not been filed. But processing status shows as issued this past week. Hmm.

Hoping this one is in by my road trip in July. Fingers crossed.
