Hat tip to @jvonbokel for finding a new Supercharger in Collinsville Illinois. On May 14th, the Collinsville Planning Commission approved the site plans for the installation of a Tesla Supercharger on the south corner of the Casey’s Gas Station at 217 N Bluff Rd. I’ve been able to find the video of the meeting along with an agenda and the staff report, which contains all the specifics for the Supercharger. 8 V3 stalls. Will add on Supercharge Info!

The Supercharge.info for this Supercharger are a bit weird. Did you re-use an existing Supercharger ID?
Yeah, it does, but Keith’s been off for so long that irrelevant sites are just piling up with no one to delete them, so I thought I’d “recycle” a few
Anyone who has ever worked with databases will tell you that reusing IDs is a bad idea. It will create unintended consequences that will be much harder to deal with than the original issue.

@BlueShift has since removed the location from Supercharge Info. I’m adding it again, but now with a clean slate.
I live quite close to Collinsville. I'll plan on driving up there every week or two to keep everyone updated.
I just watched the city council meeting. The whole council seemed very interested in Tesla.....this company is going places.
Yeah, I'm really hoping that Collinsville and Hannibal get finished before winter. It would be nice to have a local V3 Supercharger just so that I can see what 250kW charging is like.
and I'm seeing SCer's pop up with a PERMIT in Calif and construction starts within weeks. The midwest is still lagging. Guess not many folks actually make cross-country trips after all.
