I grew up in Joplin. It's been a while since I've been back so I might have to check this one out eventually. Nice to hear that Kum & Go is also adding locations outside of Colorado!
I've already put the word out to old friends in the area. Hopefully they'll be able to stop by and check things out.
It's actually the 24th largest convenience store chain and growing! They have a deal with Tesla and at least 7 Superchargers have been built or are scheduled to be built at Kum & Go locations in Colorado. Besides Superchargers, they are installing CCS at various other locations so they definitely recognize the EV future is coming.
The co-founders were Krause and Gentle, and the franchise was given the current name around 1975.
My family moved away in 1985 but I still have several friends in the area. I'll PM you.
That used to always be the case but it seems with the latest Supercharger map update last month, Tesla sometimes puts pins in a different location. If you look at the Denver - East, CO or Mountain Village, CO Supercharger pins, you'll notice they don't actually follow the old "centered above city name" rule and might give a better hint as to where the Supercharger will be located. Other Colorado locations (Silverthorne, Lakewood, Monument, Westminster, Alamosa) pins continue to be centered above the city name.You’re new here, eh?
The pins for pending sites on the Tesla map are NEVER located where they eventually are installed.. They are located at the center of the city that Tesla is targeting for the new site, which in itself isn’t always accurate. If you're looking at the pending sites with the map zoomed in more detail than showing the whole state of Missouri, you’re using the map wrong.
