Grand Island would have been a better location. It sits on US281 and I-80 which is a major US crossroad. Kearney on the other hand is a bit far from Lincoln but Grand Island is nicely spaced from Omaha..140 miles. I'm just happy that Nebraska is getting an SC!.

My dad grew up outside Wood River in the '20s and '30s, and would make a monthly trip into Grand Island on Saturdays so his mom would shop while he and his dad caught the latest serial episode plus the feature at the "moving picture show."
He told me the Lincoln Highway (before it was named US30) was paved from WR to GI, but was unpaved west of WR to Kearney until about '26 or '27 if I recall his story correctly.

True. The Lincoln Highway (first transcontinental auto route) follows a number of other historic firsts. Much of the western portion follows the route of the first transcontinental telegraph, the first transcontinental railroad, the Pony Express, the Overland Stagecoach route, and so on. As I have lamented here before, Tesla missed an opportunity by not doing I-80 as the first supercharged transcontinental highway. Would have made a lot more sense than the meandering route they chose. Water under the bridge now.
This makes very little sense. Nebraska City would have been a much better choice or even St. Joseph, MO. This makes it about the same distance to the Supercharger in Independence as the one in Council Bluffs, IA. Only way this makes sense is like someone else suggested maybe they are building them closer for the Model E err 3. They will need another one on I-29 at some point. Thank goodness for the HyVee quick charger and the adapter Tesla sells.
This has apparently been approved.
Administrative Amendment No. 16055 to Use Permit #57E, Tesla Motor Charging Station
at Lincoln Crossing, approved by the Planning Director on August 10, 2016, to allow up to
10 parking stalls in Building Area G to be used for electric vehicle charging stations,
generally located at N. 27th Street and North View Drive.

I agree with you! I'd rather see Grand Island going west instead of Kearney. And St. Joe going south to KC. Or Nebraska City..or maybe Rock Port which has made a commitment to wind generation. That would have been a good testament.
But, it is what it is and maybe we can get Lincoln as well as the others soon. I'm in Lincoln and going to Colorado is not in the cards with the vast desert between here and there. So, I'll take Kearney, North Platte, and maybe Sterling, CO.
If they can keep up maybe individual locations won't be so much of a concern.

Unless their plans change, it looks like it will be Fort Morgan instead of Sterling.
I'm in Colorado and can't get to Nebraska easily. I could spend a couple of hours extra and get there via Kansas but then it would be quite difficult to get back.
The paperwork shows at least three more planned for I-80 west of Lincoln. At a Tesla event in Colorado yesterday, someone brought up the gap on I-80 in Nebraska and Wyoming and the Tesla employee said I-80 is a priority and should be completed this year.
