Supercharger - Maple Grove, MN

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
According to Maplewood service manager this site should open Mid August 2021.
Tesla's map which just got updated a day ago to show new targeted opening dates for superchargers now shows Q2 of next year (i.e. 2022) for Maple Grove. So, I'd guess that there was either a misunderstanding or miscommunication somewhere along the line and you ended up with the wrong year. I don't think there's any chance of this location opening in a few weeks. Happy to be proved wrong though, so anyone who is in the area, swing by and see if there's supercharger construction in the parking lot.

I live a mile from there with my free for life supercharging 2020 Model X. No sign of any activity.
At this point, it is just an abstract pin on a map. Tesla usually places the pin where the town's name is usually pinned. It is more important to look for common locations where superchargers are installed in your area. e.g., Hy-Vee, Kum-and-Go, Target, etc. Stalk those places for signs. If Maple Grove has its building permits and processes online, search for indicators of charging installations and look for requests by the common companies that do the installation in the area. The applications rarely say Tesla explicitly...you have to infer it from charging speeds, numbers of stalls, who is installing, etc.

I don’t think the rumor of Mid August 2021 is happening. :( No evidence of any work or even any marking flags.
Here are some pictures showing potential charger locations in the Target parking lot.

Somebody posted some pics today on the MN Tesla Club Facebook page about parking lot construction starting at this Target store. However, the pics look like Target is simply redoing their drive-up/pickup spots. I don‘t think this is SuperCharger related; no way would Target give up prime front door parking spots for EV chargers.

I parked in one of the pictured spots earlier today- they replaced the drive up signs with fancier ones. I didn't see any supercharger activity.
 
Ok, with a Q2 2022 opening, there has to be evidence of a permit for this location soon… (especially with the ground thawing now). I live close to this area, but I am in AZ until sometime in April. I will certainly drive through here regularly to keep an eye on things when I am back in the area…
