With some luck, Houghton might get a SuC by this time next year.Houghton, here we come in the Winter with this station online. Thanks Tesla for getting this running for the winter.
It was on the SuC voting Map.

That sign is new. It wasn't there when I visited in November. It is a nice and unexpected touch for such a remote supercharger.Finally had the chance to check this one out today. The sign is a nice touch. I spotted 3 teslas in town while passing through. Just goes to show “if you build it, they will come”. We need more of this kind of infrastructure spread across the more remote areas of the state. ( min 50 miles apart )

I Just checked Plugshare, there is a 125kW CCS in Houghton. that’s just as good as a V2 SuC and the Charging rates are very reasonable. 1.00 initiation fee, $0.27 per min . Fwiw, 125 kW will give you 2 kWh per minute if starting at lower SoC.Planning to do the Lake Superior Circle Tour in September, but it looks like it can’t be comfortably done in a Tesla because there are no superchargers in northern WI. Even the CCS “backup” options are abysmal. Are there no Teslas up here? Can you even do Marquette to Duluth, and still explore along the way? (Houghton, Bayfield, etc)
My family did it in our 70D last year (didn't own the Y yet). Took some planning and always trickle charged when we were at our lodging (if it didn't have L2), but made it work. Plugshare and a CCS adaptor will be your friend.Planning to do the Lake Superior Circle Tour in September, but it looks like it can’t be comfortably done in a Tesla because there are no superchargers in northern WI.

that’s assuming you have the CCS enabled and the Adapter.
Charge up in Marquette first. That will easily let you drive up to Copper harbor and back to Houghton. I can’t imagine you not staying somewhere overnight along that stretch.
Ashland also has DCFC as does Washburn just south of Bayfield.
I did Duluth (Carlton to be exact) to Marquette last October in my MY. Did a 1 hour L2 charge (over lunch) in Ironwood. But we did not explore along the way. So if leaving Duluth at 100% and you can fit in 2-3 hours of L2 charging while exploring, you should be able to do it.Planning to do the Lake Superior Circle Tour in September, but it looks like it can’t be comfortably done in a Tesla because there are no superchargers in northern WI.

Good news is Ashland has been added to the coming soon list. Bad news is target opening is currently 2025.Planning to do the Lake Superior Circle Tour in September, but it looks like it can’t be comfortably done in a Tesla because there are no superchargers in northern WI.

I had no issues doing Minocqua (close to 100% charge) to Ironwood (no charge) to Carlton in ~lower 30F degree weather in our Y LR in April.
At the Carlton stop, I put $20 in slots at Black Bear Casino while charging and tripled my money. (Paid for charging for the day!)
