Supercharger - Escanaba, MI

[scottf200]

Per the Michigan permit site, there was an electric permit issued for Escanaba on 9/24/2019 under the project name "Tesla":

Record: ELEC19-05936
505 N 26TH ST
CITY OF ESCANABA
ESCANABA DELTA MI 49829
505 N 26TH ST

Neither bing maps or google maps show a building but there are labels.

According to the Supercharge.Info map, Escanaba was already in Permit stage for 520 days. Is this a new permit, and if so does that mean it is likely to be a V3 now?

I think the supercharge.info permit status was due to the approved special land use permit at the start of this thread. This appears to be the first, new electrical permit related the chargers. I have posted all the information for the permit that I have and I do not see a way to look up detailed information including the scope of work.

Here is a bit more detailed map from when the Meijer at that address was being built.

SC.info uses "Permit" very loosely. Anything that is confirming a location under development but before actual construction gets a blue dot. Most of the time this is from Planning/Zoning board applications or building permits. But it could also be from mentions in city council minutes or at development boards, from site surveys, from people with first hand knowledge of future activity, etc. So just because a location has a blue "permit" dot, doesn't mean that actual permits have been found, just that it is a confirmed location we know is somewhere in the development process.

The Plan Review record (PR2019PR-001765) from April 2019 has that info, but it doesn't give any information that would indicate what type of charger. Likely it will be V3 as very few new locations are getting started as V2 now unless they are urban superchargers and those wouldn't make sense for Escanaba.

When I was in Escanaba three weeks ago I did take a couple of photos. As stated earlier no Tesla work started, so not sure where it will be in their lot. However, the store is really there.

I passed through this past Saturday. I drove around the parking lot but so no signs of any construction activity or even markings yet.

Bing seems up to date:

Apple Maps for me even has imagery with the ALDI store open on the northeast corner of 3rd Ave and 26th St.

The most likely spot for the Superchargers would be in the southeast corner of the lot closest to the gas station. It looks like there's a dirt strip there with plenty of room to support charging equipment.

I will be going thru Escanaba on 11-09-2019 and will check out the site but unlikely to have any change if a new permit was granted 09-24-2019

Billyk24, did you get a chance to check it out on your drive through on 11/9?

I drove thru town and drove around the parking of this proposed location and there was zero evidence of any construction. No further work done at the Mackinac City location either as I was there also earlier in the day.

Thanks for the report. Looks like we'll be waiting until next spring for any progress. Too bad, Tesla has really gotten to work on the Canadian route, plus North Dakota and now Montana. Looks like the UP will be the last frontier...

“The UP: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Tesla Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.”

Yeah, that sounds like the Upper Peninsula. I'm not sure “new civilizations” is appropriate. The trans Canadian Highway (TCH) certainly qualifies as ”strange new worlds”.

again, maybe next year....

Dying lol so true!

Any updates? Been 2.5 months. I'm not expecting much but there's some recent movement on I-94 SCs despite winter.
