Supercharger - Mackinaw City, MI

[FMinMI]

Not free. Parking costs. Sign says. Pay here or at office. I was there for 2 hours taking pictures and freezing my butt off.

Ahhh. I thought there was a coin slot on the charger . I am blown away they want payment for the lot since the dock is closed. Oh well, gotta get some income somehow I guess. Thanks.

I believe it's an "Honor" system when no ones there. Which, in the off season is all the time.

May 17, 2020. They are not turned on yet. But this is a good sign.

I guess I am missing something - what is different that is a good sign?

The sign that says "Tesla vehicle charging only" is a good sign.

I was up there yesterday and there’s still no meter installed. Nothing new.

OK. I saw those in the March photo that Tom posted.

BUT even better, the governor is 'opening' that area up Friday so maybe they will finish it!

May 28th ... no meter.

I'm unable to verify visually but I believe the meter should be set now, can anyone in the area confirm?

I hope to be there Monday June 8th

 

[tomsModelS]

I can take a ride up there today.

When someone puts up randomly that the meter should be set. Well that just sounds like goodness to me. Yet I will let Tom @tomsModelS make that run even though I would love to. Thanks Tom. We know you have been diligently ckecking.

 

[tomsModelS]

The meter is - in fact - installed ... thank you @Chili.

The bad news is there’s no juice flowing to the chargers. If @Bizquick can’t make it on Monday Ill try to make another seafood run mid-week.

I wonder if the official opening will be timed to line up with the opening of Mackinac Island on June 12th?

More likely we are just waiting for the Tesla guy to come up here to certify it.

Seafood is considered healthy food. I’m sure that eating it twice a week once and awhile would be good for you.

Thanks for taking one for the team! I’d like to day trip up there once the SuperChargers work.

I'm excited for the Mackinaw City charger! Now I just need the Escanaba charger to make the full trip. With 2 adults, 3 kids and a bunch of bikes I need that stop to make it from just outside Green Bay.

Thanks to everyone for posting updates and keeping us all in the loop!

The USS Badger across Lake Michigan and then northward where Superchargers exist is an option.

The USS Badger runs on a coal fired boiler. Some how that doesn't seem to go along with the idea of driving an EV.
