Supercharger - Evanston WY

[ticopowell]

I'm open to adding chargers any where they are needed and wanted. If you know location that are open to it, might try for Destination Chargers first if you can find places okay with footing the electrical bill. If not then my solution could be an option so there electric costs covered.

My mom lives in Afton, she has tried to mention adding a destination charger for my car at the local Marriott. There is also a new set of cabins that are set up as a hotel that has the room for both destination chargers and a supercharger. I think she has mentioned adding chargers to the owners but I'm not sure on that one.
I doubt you could get the town to pay for electricity costs until they get a new mayor, they barely keep up with maintaining the police vehicles. You could try the county too, they have offices in Afton, but the main offices are in Kemmererererer.
And if it helps to have a bunch of people call the city/county, or email, let me know and I can help.

I've charged in Tremonton a couple times and never seen another Tesla there. Same with Springfield, OR, although I'm usually charging in Springfield after midnight so not much of a surprise there.

I suppose it might be the time of day. I charge at Tremonton in early evening — around 7-8 PM — and mid morning — around 11 AM. I'll be charging there again Thursday evening. Don't think I've ever been there without at least one other car charging. Just anecdotal experiences, of course.

I think that timing has a lot to do with encountering other owners. The Fresno Supercharger is 3 1/2 miles from our house. I drive past it 5-6 times per week. It is generally vacant until 9 or 10 in the morning, and again after 4-5PM in the afternoons. (I also posit that some locals charge during lunch time.)

Given that the distance from Sac is about 3 hours and from Los Angeles is about 5 1/2 hours (including a charge at Fort Tejon), it makes sense that the busier times would be 9AM to 5PM. I rarely see charging during the night time hours.

Has anyone stopped by to see if construction has started ?

Or someone could just call the Hampton Inn and ask...

Just talked to the front desk. They said from what they can see the construction is almost finished. Electrical lines in and pedestals up. Currently there were two electricians working on "some kinda big box". They had no word on a completion date.

Thanks for the update.

I just talked the manager at the Mall in Rock Springs and they are almost done too! They said it should only be a few more days, I bet Tesla will stop by to light up both Rock Springs and Evanston on the same trip. Maybe in time for the 4th of July? Need to check on Rawlings now, it might be under construction too!

Anyone have an update on the Rawlins situation? I would be surprised if it didn't slip through the cracks and is almost done as well.

Dang it! Well, there is no new news about the Laramie SC, maybe that one was built under our noses! I think I can make it Laramie to Rock Springs ok!

Stopped by Evanston this morning.

It appears that the transformer has NOT been placed yet. Everything else looks close to completion.

Rumor has it that Rawlins and Laramie will start soon after Evanston and Rock Springs are completed.

Any clue on where the Laramie Supercharger will be located?

 

[KJD]

The Evanston location is all done except for the transformer being placed.

No idea. I just know its on the map, same as you.
If I get some extra time this week I will try and make some calls to find the address.

That empty pad just looks wrong. I think I know what would make it look right.
