Based on the Billings SC going in so soon (maybe I should put that in quotes...), it seems to me that the I90 route planning is pretty active. The 2014 map shows some pretty long runs on I90, though. Coeur d'Alene to Bozeman is 366 miles and there seems to only be one planned SC between them. Given the mountains, it's dicey for a 60. It looks to me like 2 are needed between Bozeman and Cd'A. Hope that's why they haven't shown up on the coming soon map.
We learned at The Dalles supercharger (at the grand opening on Aug 9) that we should be watching for permits at the Springfield Suites in Coeur d'Alene, 2250 W Seltice Way.

Cranbrook, BC is 200km (160mi) north of Coeur d'Alene. Site a supercharger in Cranbrook and you've connected the proposed Golden, BC supercharger (246 km north of Cranbrook) to the I90 corridor. Add a second supercharger in the Radium Hot Springs/Invermere area and you've eased this distance and you've added in Hwy 93 as a supercharged route to Canmore (160 km from Radium).
Cranbrook would also add access to Kalispell, MT (222km / 138 mi) and on to Missoula, MT (118 mi south of Kalispell).
Great ideas!
Please everyone, when you have these ideas, or you see problems at Superchargers, send e-mails to [email protected]. When I have sent suggestions and issues with Superchargers to this address, I get thoughtful replies from humans who care.
To those of you that have been to the Springhill Suites did you find any eating places nearby. Except for the hotel it looked to be a fair distance to any other options.
This would be a regular stop for me.
Thank's MiddKid. I looked for dining on Google and did not find any that appeared to be walkable.
Looking like I won't be making a MS trip to Kalispell this fall. Without a SpCh in CDA it makes it to inconvenient. With no construction taking place yet it won't be done before the snow flies.
Hi, I am a new member and this is my first post.
I live in Coeur d'Alene and am very familiar with the area around the Springhill Suites. There are several places to eat that are relatively close to the hotel(within 1 to 2 blocks). Actually if you look at the second photo of Vger above you can see an Outback Steakhouse (look just above the yellow fire hydrant) that is immediately across Northwest Blvd. To the south of the hotel is a mixed condo/movie/shopping development called Riverstone. It is walkable and has several sit down options as well as a McDonalds. The development can be reached by a bicycle trail (Centennial Trail) or a more direct dirt path leading to the south.
I don't have a Model S yet but once a property of mine in Spokane sells I be able to order my 85. I can hardly wait for it and for the SpCh to go in.
