Supercharger - Portland, ME

[JulieX]

I just stopped by tonight- still nothing

Not sure why you quoted that comment (maybe an oversight/error?), but the underlying point isn't an issue. Permit gets a new expiration date after work started and they had inspections done. Even if nothing else was done until after the new expiration date, it still wouldn't really be an issue. All that means is that they would have to pay a new fee to "revive" the expired permit.

Since some other sites have started to get their pedestals recently, hopefully this one will too within the next few weeks.

SO SORRY I’m new here and did reply to the wrong comment. Oops.

Yeah, that type of electronic miscue/mis-click occasionally happens regardless of one's familiarity with the forum software. No need to apologize. And welcome to the forum. I addressed the issue just in case you or others were actually concerned about it.

Going to be heading up here next weekend for a family vacation. Probably going to visit the LL Bean store in Freeport so I guess I'll charge there since this one won't be ready. First time in Portland. Staying at the Hilton Suites at the airport. It will be me, my wife, and three kids ages 15, 19 and 22 so tell me what we absolutely must do around here. Kids want to jet ski and eat lobster. Wife wants to tour light houses.

Close to ready but still waiting on pedastals along with the other near complete Maine and New Brunswick Superchargers.

All signs are Tesla Charging Only.

Sailing on the tall ships is a must if you enjoy sailing boats. We have many microbreweries and a brew bus that goes to several if that is of interest to some of you. J’s Oyster on Commercial St is popular for sea food, and Commercial St is fun to walk along. If you have half a day and want to see Maine from the water, Casco Bay Lines have a Bailey Island Cruise. They take you to the island where you eat lunch and then back to Portland.
Well worth checking out the costal forts and state parks, much history and fun even for those who are not passionate about history.

Any sign of pedestals yet?

Not seeing any progress. We seem to be at a standstill. Fresh!

Monday....passing through Portland so I thought I'd look.....Nothing.

 

[Dynodan]

I swung by last night, still nothing.
I’ve seen a few of these go together in the past. I’ve never seen it be as complete as it is now and not have finishing activity within a week or so. This has been many weeks of nada.

I was hoping to use this spot before I head back home to Charlotte. But no signs of work for almost a month it seems. Any idea if this will be a V3 charging spot?

Quispamsis, NB and Baileyville, ME have received pedestals, but not Medway, ME or Portland, ME. So, it seems that the suffering isn't over.

Based on the pictures of the cabinets, no, it's not a V3 site.

Any recent flybys?

Any recent flybys?

I went by end of last week - nothing. I was hoping it would be ready for the Drive Electric Week event on Sept 21st (National Drive Electric Week - Portland).

 

[nepenthe]

Looked today, nadda.

 

[theBurtReynold]

Maybe by 2020.

Where is this install stuck? Is it just awaiting the stalls? This is so ridiculous.

There are sites that have been in Permit status for years.

It'll be ok. I promise.

 

[mcot222]

Sites in permit status yes. Sites with active construction typically do not take this long unless there is a specific reason.

 

[Kuhz]

There is a nationwide charging pedestal shortage
