Supercharger - Lima, MT

[Bighorn]

Missing transformer--other MT superchargers have had the same issue before.

Hey French, took a photo today passing through lima and there is still plastic covering the supercharger

Is that a transformer under the bell decoration?

You're right. Picture with comment posted by Jim on Plugshare Dec. 7 shows the transformer and meter in place. His comment quoted 6-8 week estimate from electricians- but who knows?

More specifically, here's the picture from Plugshare that @otter is referring to, showing the transformer:

Everyone passing through, please visit Jan's cafe, who by giving Tesla space made this happen.

Now they just need a couple of Superchargers north of Butte that connect to the Supercharger in Fort MacLeod, AB and I-15 will be done.
(Google maps says that Butte, MT to Fort MacLeod, AB is 5 minutes faster via US-287 and US-89, but I-15 is the faster route to Lethbridge, AB)

Woo Hoo! My wife and I are based in both Kalispell and Pocatello. Let me tell you, that run from Butte to Idaho Falls (and more so in the other other direction, 700 feet elevation gain) is Harsh in zero degree weather. Not so bad when Joulie was new, but after 92,000 miles and 8% battery fade, we've had to draft at 50 mph behind a big rig a few times. Nerve wracking and uncomfortable.
We're planning on putting in a HPWC in Hungry Horse, MT in the Spring, FYI

Charging now. Snow in front of chargers was slightly challenging.

A friend traveling south stopped by 2 days ago took a few photos

 

[4SUPER9]

Nice pics. Thanks.
8 Stalls! On a very quiet route. Definitely future forward.

On another note, now I see why my fiance (from MT) calls soda "pop".

Temps were just above zero , so about 30 degrees warmer than West Yellowstone. Made it with a range charge but I had to go slow on I-15. A stop at Idaho Falls is probably wise under these conditions.

I did politely inform the host how their plow person should clear the snow right up to the curb--after I'd gotten my food
