I asked a worker there and he said that the system isn't ready for electricity yet so not sure when the turn on date is. but that was last week. I'll stop by tomorrow and see.
 
Anybody been near lately?

I just noticed Tesla’s site says Q2 2022. Has this been the case since E-town reappeared earlier this year? I hope we don’t have to wait that long. My guess would be supply chain issues.
My guess is that Kentucky installations take extra long. Beaver Dam is the closest thing to an exception. I don’t know if it is the installer or utility slowing things down, but there’s a pattern.

Kentucky used to have a statewide zoning regulation forbidding public charging at any location not zoned for gas stations. Is this still true?

Brilliantly stupid. “Let’s force high power electrical station in the same space as gasoline storage tanks.” I do sympathize slightly with the desire to control the volume of traffic. Gas/convenience stores have a large volume of traffic. EV charging is slower, more like a restaurant.

Yes. It’s been Q2 2022 since it popped up earlier this year. But only after it was stated to be “coming soon” for the past 4 years, before disappearing altogether for a few months.
