Supercharger - Helena, MT

[Rownolds]

This is a great idea, Wade. Fill the stalls, go buy some ice cream at the Super1, tell the checkout person or the manager how much it's appreciated, and call the newspaper. I'm sure the Super1 won't mind being mentioned in a community interest story.

We are traveling from Kalispell, you’re closer!

Just tell CBSA you are going to Alaska.

Maybe it’s too late now...

LOL I thought that was a joke. Didn't realize that was actually happening.

Kind of like the people who say they can't wear a mask due to some unspecified medical reason.

Spoke with a local owner in Kalispell and he said that Super 1 Foods wasn't going to build Kalispell until they were confident this Supercharger in Helena was successful. He suggested stopping by in Helena and letting the management know that you came into the store because of the Supercharger.

(Yes, I appreciate this may be redundant, considering: #79)

Hi, the Tesla website shows the Helena, MT supercharger is installed, but I don't want to get caught there tomorrow on my way to Kalispell and it not be up and running.

Can somebody verify for me that they have been there and it is functional?

I can't make the 300mile trip from Bozeman to Kalispell without a charge in between and need to be in Helena or I'd just go via the Missoula supercharger (trying to decide if I need to drive my truck instead)

Thanks!

PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You users report this location up and running as of Sept 15. It reports as a 250KW charger, but often only one bay supports that power.

You can zoom out on the map in your vehicle and see the live status of any Supercharger. Alternatively, if you just have your car navigate to the location (or past it), it would indicate if the Supercharger was unavailable for charging.

I've found that Superchargers that were partially available (like Miles City, MT) would be actively avoided by the in-car navigation. FYI.
