Interesting. Definitely a great splitter of Bismarck, ND to Estevan, SK. I wonder if that mean they are planning to put SCs on US 2. Williston (fracking central) and Devil’s Lake would be required. I’m always excited to see off-interstate SCs for the more scenic routes.
Don't know. They haven't announced. They have a magic adapter patent but could do a 2nd cable.
My guess is they will complete US-2 through ND (with Devils Lake and Williston as you suggest) in the next 1-2 years. And I suspect the same for US-2 in Eastern WA and the ID panhandle. US-2 through Montana will probably be a while though. That's a lot of space with not much in the way of towns or population.

The Highline is getting electrified.
Looking forward to a coast to coast EV rally.
Yes, this will take a while, but the wait will be worth it.

Finally, hells yeah.
If they get Williston and other Highway 2 at some point also hells yeah

All towns/cities with a military base should get superchargers. It's a national security issue that DOD ought to support.
Not as much as you think. Last time I flew through there and charged at the Coop to come back to Moose Jaw there was a local Ford dealer patiently wated for me to get out of my car to ask me charging questions. He told me he was booked out til 2025 on F150 lightnings and was just was curious about the whole charging thing.
Yes it's a huge fracking town, but there is more than a passing interest.
Plus Williston, ND is on US-85 as well as US-2, so it has to get a Supercharger.
I love your passion for US highways, but I'm not sure that US 85 will ever be a high priority. The southern half is concurrent with I-25 and Williston is probably the biggest town along the northern half. There's a whole lot of nothing out there.

'Nothing' is truck country, and the last timeI was in Watford I was a little shocked at how little it resembled the sleepy little town happy to just have a dairy queen.
'Nothing' country will need Superchargers when CyberTruck is shipping. If you cant take your truck into the nothing, why have a truck?
Devils Lake next would be awesome. Don't need many stalls yet in ND but it allows you to practically cover the state in a EV.

I would call that an accurate assessment. Williston to Havre will be interesting but possible. I’ve driven US 2 from Glacier NP to Duluth, MN.
I would Really like to see the US Highway Routes get built out in the Areas not in close proximity of Interstate system which is now fully covered for the most part. The closer I get to retirement, the more I like driving the Roads less traveled.
I’m curious about the variance requested in the application. Are EV chargers considered “filling station pumps” just like a gasoline station pump? Obviously they don’t need such a setback for safety reasons, as it’s not really possible to spill electrons onto the ground or electrocute people passing by, or danger from sparking at the voltages used. Technically there’s no filling going on at all. For every electron you push into the anode during charging, you get one back from the cathode.
Are there other states that legally consider chargers as filling stations?

I can't speak for anything related to ND law, but New Jersey requires employees to pump the gasoline at filling stations. EV chargers at the same locations are self-serve.
