Interesting note. Ameren has now installed some ccs/chademo chargers along 61 that now makes a trip to Iowa along that route possible (see PlugShare) If you have a chademo adapter, that route is now feasible until a better solution like superchargers open up.

That sounds like a Tesla Wall Connector. Those only give you 10ish kw vs a superchargers 250 kw.
One Tesla sells to individuals, the other is a service owned and operated by Tesla.
When traveling, having a supercharger available along your route saves you a lot of time.

Yes, you can buy a CHAdeMO adapter for $450 and use it at public CHAdeMO charging stations. I think they are limited to 50 kW so they will probably be a lot slower than a typical Supercharger. If there are CHAdeMO charging stations on your route and no Superchargers, then it's an alternative.
Hopefully Tesla will come out with a CCS adapter in the US in the future to allow owners to use public CCS charging stations as well.
CCS adapter? Would be nice. There are several barriers to producing this currently. Some folks in Korea are working on it.

Tesla already has CCS in Europe. They could easily offer it in the US as well.
I drove past again on 6 Sept 2020 and there still is no indication of progress on this location. Really frustrating that it's taking so long. It's sorely needed before winter hits and we need cabin heating.

It's been a couple years since I was at a CHAdeMO station, but if its a constant 50 kW, that's faster than the 40 kW I get at Superchargers after the chargegate/throttlegate mods Tesla made!
Here is a CHAdeMO charge from a couple of weeks ago from Sullivan, MO. Seems to maintain 42 - 49kW up till around 70% battery level. Then the charging power decreases per battery level. This charge was from 15% - 84% over 45 min in an M3 SR+. Cost $11 for the charge. Not my prefered way to regularly charge if road tripping hard, but faster than Level 1 or 2 charging when in need. Sullivan is an Electrify America site.
I made the drive from Cedar Rapids Iowa to downtown St Louis this weekend in my M3 LR. I left the house with full charge 295 miles of range. I stopped in Coralville super charger and topped it off to full charge again. Passing the Casey's in Hannibal I could not see signs of a charger in construction. I drove pretty conservatively until I was within 100 miles and I made it to St Charles super charger with 5% battery. That is just too close for comfort for me. The weather was in the 80's I would never attempt this in the winter. We really need this charger to make this drive comfortable. Please Tesla get this done before winter!
I agree we need this. I am making the drive next week from St. Charles to Iowa City to pick up my daughter from college. I have a SR+ so I cannot make it. I will be stopping for an hour at Wakonda State park for an hour charge at an RV hookup. Not ideal. Thanks for checking on the construction.
This charger is desperately needed. I was really hoping that it would be up and running by the holidays this year. I have LR RWD so I can make my trip even in the winter (I've done it probably 10x below 40 degrees), but the Hannibal charger would completely eliminate any doubts.
That is good to know. I have searched the route for any type of charger and that hasn't come up in any apps I have looked at. How many miles of range per hour does it typically charge at?
Depending on what part of the St. Louis area you are going to, the detour through Davenport and Springfield may not be that bad. It's about an hour longer if you're going to St. Louis proper, but actually even less than that because you won't have to charge to 100% anywhere which is very time consuming. If you're actually trying to go to St. Charles though, it's about 2 hours longer.

This area has been a concern for me since I regularly spend time along the Mississippi River north from our home in O'Fallon, MO.
Hope it moves forward soon, we will be ordering 1 possibly 2 M3's for delivery after the New Year.

Any updates on Hannibal? Tesla recently bragged about 20,000 stalls so we know they are expanding. How about local expansion?
Reached out to Hannibal City Hall today and they followed up with the Tesla contractor.
The contractor said construction should begin in late March or early April 2021.
