    I’ve obtained info from a reliable source saying Tesla has applied for a permit for a V3 Supercharger at the Meijer store in Portage, Michigan. Construction scheduled to begin this Spring. Will add on Supercharge Info.

    Ahh the 131 connector people have been asking for. While mainly on 94. It will help those on that north south route, or maybe a skip of St. Joseph.

    This is great, I'm in the immediate vicinity of this Meijer. Wish it is the M43 Meijer instead, but I understand the reasoning.

    No it hasn’t. The project has been delayed for minor issues.

    Any updates here? A V3 would be helpful heading to Saugatuck/South Haven from Ann Arbor/Detroit!

    Drove by the Meijer on Westnage today - didn’t see any indication that construction has started. Anyone else have more details on the status?

    I wish they would update this! Needed bad for the Kalamazoo area. What is the fasting charging station that is in our area? Best I have found is 22mi/Hr.

    There one at the Sam’s Club South of the Meijer. Only 1 CHAdeMO charger/6 stations so not great if it’s in use. PlugShare

    You have to buy the $450 adapter to plug a CHADeMO into a tesla right?

    Correct, though if you have a one-time need for it, some people are willing to let people borrow their adapter.
