Or maybe they're going to build a wall behind the stalls so the lights don't annoy the people trying to sleep in the neighboring hotel.
(I like your idea better.)

I'm psyched for this Supercharger location. Been planning to visit Acadia and plan to next year. 
To be honest, that's not much different to how the excavation was when I took my photos last Sunday. Maybe they've torn up more ground.
Bricks are still on the pallets.
I wish I'd have taken a bunch more photos.

Twice as much fun
Me, too. My wife just told me we're going to Acadia in May, so I'll get to use it sooner than I expected (since we were just up there in August).I'm psyched for this Supercharger location. Been planning to visit Acadia and plan to next year.
Damn it! I checked for any new posts and of course you hadn't posted yet so I decided that I'd go for a drive to check on (the lack of) progress.
Thank you for going!

Gwgan's pictures mean I needn't have bothered, but I least I got to Uncle Willy's in Camden and got myself some licorice. (Their selection beats anywhere else I've been in Maine).
The Ellsworth construction seems to have completely stalled since I last checked it.

And a few more pictures.
A few pieces of pipe, patch of ground where it appears they removed a bush, and some of the ground markings.
Given the lack of progress, Gwgan being a lot closer to Ellsworth than me, and the impending winter, that'll be my last trip to take pictures in Ellsworth.
I also double-checked the Belfast Hannaford, and I looked at the Camden Hannaford as well.
No signs of any construction at either of those, but it looks like the Camden Hannaford shouldn't have any trouble hosting either.

The crew working this project is from Rhode Island. Based on past history, they are likely going up to Ellsworth for a week of work and returning to RI for the weekend. It's possible they make a decision on going up for the following week (or not) based on weather and/or possibly working or wrapping up other projects. So I guess it's not surprising to see a week of no progress if/when that's observed. The Seekonk, MA supercharger made some great progress this past week - it's possible they had both crews there at the same time. It's even possible they've started construction at another site in New England that we've not yet had eyes on....
Sorry about that. Limited data plan and could not get in the wifi at Hannaford so posted when I got home.
I can visit weekly or so but not likely to see progress this holiday week and the next week I’m headed in the other direction. I’ll try to check in early next week to see if they are here working.
I'm heading up this weekend for Thanksgiving. I'll swing by then.

The intrigue!!! This is great. MA had 5 chargers when I got my car in 2017. Now the weakest point is the northern Berkshires. Love the progress.
Agreed. I purchased my Model S in 2018 when Maine only had 3 stations. My first trip to Lubec did give me range anxiety, as did my first winter trip to Bethel. I’ve not had range anxiety in a while and things just keep getting better every year.
They've built a retaining wall for the electrical cabinets. If you look closely the wall is rounded off on the edges so it isn't going to extend further. It looks close to being filled.
There was a Gordon dump truck and trailer parked out back that I hadn't noticed before. Maybe that means someone is up here working.
