Agreed. Hopefully, we’ll see one around Taos sometime in the future.
For that matter, I wish they would get moving on the one in Clovis so I could go to ABQ on my old route of Lubbock, Clovis, Ft. Sumner and Santa Rosa.
Yeah, Taos would be nice. And Clovis is still needed.
I need Carlsbad and/or Roswell on our favorite routes up to Santa Fe or ABQ. We like to go west on I-10 then head north on US285.
Also north of Santa Fe we like to go up through Chama (US84) to US160 in CO, but there is nothing along US160 in CO anyway. Another hole.

A photo update on the Grants/Milan NM supercharger progress. It looks like they got the stall hardware foundations and electrical wiring completed. Looks like all is needed now is to replace the asphalt in that section of the parking lot and install the supercharger hardware. Very exciting as this will make the stretch between Gallup and Albuquerque so much easier without range anxiety.
Looks like V3 cabinets mounted already?
Looks like a really cool location with a real trading post if you are into Native American jewelry, rugs, etc.. I also notice on reviews people rave about the Kiva Cafe.

Update: 15 bollards installed. Guys out doing electrical at the main cabinets today. Nice guy out there in charge, Bobby, from Texas, said that they connected up the bollards this morning. Still need to put in asphalt, and paint lines, and get inspected. Inspection of course could take long or short depending on how it turns out. Looks like 2-6 weeks to me, but maybe could be sooner…

Small nitpick, those would be charge posts (most common) or dispensers (also miscalled chargers a lot). Bollards are plastic/metal/concrete poles (sometimes with signs on top) placed to prevent running into the charge posts. The red posts with signs would be bollards.
Thanks for the pictures and hopefully it will be up and running soon.

One last look on my way home. Asphalt done, they’ve got guarding posts in, and the fence is gone from around the transformers. Fence still here at the stalls, but looks to me like it’s ready pending inspection, which could be awhile if they find something or could be any day now if not.
I don’t see the transformer in your photo. Where was it located? I see a possible spot for it next to the V3 cabinets.

They’re at the far back end of the parking lot. You can see them way in the distance between the two lines of chargers.
The white cabinets I see at the back are the V3 cabinets. A transformer is much larger and usually dark green.

And they need the red Tesla charging/parking signs mounted on the bollards. Otherwise there is no reason for them to be that tall.

It would be helpful if there was a sticky somewhere with all the proper terms so we all speak the same language.

Thanks for all your photos while you were there. It’s always exciting to see a supercharger station under construction.
