Google says it's just an hour longer to stay on the TCH the whole way. Plus you avoid two border crossings. It's a fun drive if you've never done it, but it could seem kind of boring if you've done it before as there isn't much civilization.Anyone in the area that can swing by and see if there is progress ? Hoping to stop at this site on a road trip from Calgary to Ottawa this summer ;-) It'll save a lot of time vs continuing east to Winnipeg then hang a right to Minneapolis.
Thanks for that !! Yeah we are planning to head through canuck on the way back; we want to stop off in Chicago, Sandusky and Buffalo on the way to Ottawa to visit friends and family. When we leave Ottawa in a coupla weeks to head back the plan is to use the "over the top" route.Google says it's just an hour longer to stay on the TCH the whole way.

FWIW it's 37 hours via Thunder Bay, 36 hours via Minocqua, WI and 36 hours via Twin Cities. The fastest route in an ICE is 35 hours, but it isn't practical due to the lack of superchargers between Duluth, MN and Marquette, MI (you'll probably want to use the Carlton, MN supercharger instead of the one in Duluth anyway). I'm assuming a Tesla with ~300mi/500km rated range. If you have one of the new ones with super long range, then Carlton to Marquette could be doable. It's a 269 mile leg.
Tesla doesn't usually update their map as often or as early as superchargers.info. You can see the filing linked on the original post in this thread.I just checked the "Find Us" page on the Tesla website. They do not show any icon for Minot at all. Not sure how Superchargers.info came to think there is a permit for this site. I doubt it will be there for me in June.
It isn't unusual for Tesla's Find Us map to not show known, upcoming locations. Kalispell and Billings, MT are both current examples of this.I just checked the "Find Us" page on the Tesla website. They do not show any icon for Minot at all. Not sure how Superchargers.info came to think there is a permit for this site. I doubt it will be there for me in June.
What Big Earl said... but I also agree that it likely won't be open by mid-June. Not impossible, but unlikely.I doubt it will be there for me in June.
Thank you very much for doing homework on this; sadly it looks like it's still several months+ out.Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I had to look into this hoping that this would get done this summer. Last Wednesday, I looked at the Minot Planning website for information on what they had done with the application. The November meeting was cancelled(not sure if weather related) and looked at the December meeting. No mention of any EV charging. Also looked at the January and February meeting minutes and again no mention of any EV charging. So finally called the city offices and after several transfers was able to talk to a gal that did have some info.
The people who first submitted the application had not gotten back to the city to move the application forward. Not sure that I want to try to speak to the people that put in the application to see what/why stopped them for going forward. All I can say is Minot does desperately need a DCFC station of some sort.
To reach the committee minutes go to the City of Minot Agenda Center - Agenda Center
Then scroll down to the Planning Commission. You can then choose which year that you want to see the monthly meeting minutes.
FWIW, there are two more recently opened 50kW DCFC in Minot (hopefully more reliable than the existing 50kW stations)... All I can say is Minot does desperately need a DCFC station of some sort...
