Hmm, interesting that it's withdrawn. I wonder if it means they're going to resubmit with a minor change? I still think it's worthy of a blue dot on supercharge.info as there is evidence Tesla is planning the site, and it allows locals to be aware.... but what do others think?
Interesting that it was at a Hannaford supermarket there. None at Hannaford st the moment. Given Kennebunk, ME, which opened end of June 2018, and Freeport, ME, and given the delay on the SR, and given the shortage of money, probably just decided that now is not the time.
The current chargers at the various Hannafords in Maine are EVgo CCS/CHAdeMO.
As long as they have parking spaces to spare, I don't see why they would refuse Superchargers, at least once/if the SR arrives. At the current rate, Tesla is easily outselling other DCFC-equipped cars and the competition are all dealing in small numbers.
If true, that's great. Hannaford's everywhere in Maine.
They could use Ellsworth for Bar Harbor and Augusta Whitten Rd would be more convenient than the current Marketplace Mall location.
Also, they have Skowhegan on the longer map, and there's a Hannaford there on 201.

At that link, if you click on "More Info" it says there will be 12 units and the Applicant Signature is "Bob Gashlin, For Tesla"
That sounds like superchargers!

Just in time for winter weather to hit.
See you in the spring.
EDIT: OK, I guess they could try and get it done, but I think it's too late, and I can't see Maine being a current priority.
This is my final warning. Anybody who asks any variation of the question "Will this be a v3 Supercharger?" from now on is going to get a Disagree.
At this point v3 is just beginning, and we are not party to Tesla's roll-out plans. We don't even know if it's really close to being ready to deploy or whether the demo was just done early to stoke Model 3 demand after the mixed reception to the announcement of the SR.
So, please everybody, don't ask, because the answer is that we don't know.
The submitted plans (first post above) are permitted already. They have been in place a while and you can see the technical power details there. If going to v3 I assume they would need to re-submit plans first and get a new permit.

Not to rain on any parades, but there's also a possibility it could end up being an Urban SC. I'll be going past there almost every week once the snow melts, and I'd like a v3, but if you look at coverage in that area, Kennebunk and Freeport are only 42mi apart. Kennebunk and Augusta are only 81 miles apart.
This spot may end up as an Urban.
