AHA! This is the location Kyle, Tesla SC repairman, who we spoke to last fall at the St. Joseph, MI SC (chronic repairs!), was talking about. He was saying it began with 'G' and was in central IL near Champaign! Good location. Easy on and off.

US-24 is a West-East highway, so this Supercharger helps continue to fill in holes in the network.

Any updates on the Gilman IL Supercharger location. Planning a trip through that area in the next 30 days it's key to know if this will be available. The Tesla web site says it's available. Supercharge.info says it's been down for 8 days. Most recent comment here is that it's offline. Anybody local that can figure out what the deal is? Plugshare PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You thinks it's available. A Better Router Planner says its offline with no explanation - A Better Routeplanner ... The Tesla web site says there are both 8 and 12 250kW Superchargers available but no indication that they are down.

ABRP uses Supercharge.info's data, so the fact that it is showing that the site is down is really just repeating that SC.info shows it offline and is not an independent assessment.

What's the deal? Bollingbrook has been showing temporary closure for months; I charged there Saturday along with 6 others at same time. Maybe because this used to be crazy busy at all hours and the equipment couldn't handle it? But Gilman shouldn't be crazy busy yet. Wierd.

Temporary closure has nothing to do with how busy a site is. It's mostly technical issues. The 250 kW chargers are very finicky.
