Looks like construction is starting at the Millennium Iriving. There's a Second Cup, Subway with Tim's and McD's across the (busy) street.

NO, it's not likely that Electrify America popping up in the KV.

Yes, this is a connection that's going to make some Tesla tourists happy. Next step after this will be getting the North American CCS adapter, and maybe the Model 3 CHAdeMO adapter so people can venture out beyond the Supercharger network.

I’ve added it to supercharge.info as Quispamsis, NB.

Reasons:
1- the municipality it’s located in is called Quispamsis
2- some people think Saint John is in Newfoundland
3- Saint John? Meh, Quispamsis? Cool.

That being said, I will probably have to pass through Saint John for our Bay of Fundy road trip, so this entire Supercharger stretch will be really useful in August!

Another webcam! Nice...

EDIT: is it just my device or the webcam really slow?

It is fairly slow and the frame rate is low, so it gets blurry in the wind. But better than nothing.

Certainly won't argue with any of those reasons.

Disappointed with the location. No love for Route 7 drivers. Very odd choice to be honest. But, better than nothing at all, that's for sure.

hahah. Fair enough.

But I’ve been waiting for this one a while (and Baileyville) as I am a Saint John expat and do this drive ever year a coupe times from the Southeast. Heck, I remember using a Chademo in the Nissan in Bangor on my old Model S before Brewer went live. So, I’ve been watching this rollout up here for years.

Given Salisbury, I thought the new Irving in Lornville made a lot more sense. Or even the west side Irving.

I'm sure you'll be able to muster the courage to brave the Saint John traffic to get to the supercharger (if necessary).

But not the potholes. Ha! Nah, I have a charger here at the house.

Quispam vs Lorneville is a bigger deal for us. We regularly do a run from Fredericton down to St. Stephen then across to Saint John before continuing up to Sussex and back to Fredericton. Without crossing the border to Baileyville, we'll still need a Chademo stop to make it to Saint John. If Lorneville were chosen we'd make it there if we were careful and the rest of the trip would be uneventful. As we have cases of alcohol on board when we travel, the crossing to Baileyville will be problematic. Still thrilled with somewhere down south, just wish it were Lorneville. Of course, I wouldn't say no to a 4 station SC at St. Stephen or St. Andrews, but Miramichi and Bathurst are much more important.

No *sugar* (Tonight). Someone added this on PlugShare. To keep it on the map so users can post updates, I added a screenshot from the Facebook post for the location.

Any suggestions on how to pronounce "Quispamsis"? Is it Key-spam-sis or kiss-pam-sis?

I couldn't help but refresh it to watch a cycle of the traffic lights.

Quispamsis, NB

National Highway: Nonoe
Provincial Highway: NB-1

From: Salisbury, NB (Construction) (local, NB-1): 110.3km
To: Baileyville, ME (Construction) (NB-1, US-1): 146.5 km

From: Aulac, NB (TCH, NB-1): 194.4 km
To: Brewer, ME (NB-1, US-1, ME-9, local, US-1A): 287.4 km

Nice.

BTW, Maine will be building a connector from I-395 to ME-9, so eventually, the route to Brewer will be ME-9, a short stretch of I-395 and then off that to the Ruby Tuesday. And, for anyone skipping (Baileyville, ME to Augusta, ME is 262.6km), the more direct connection ME-9 - I-395 - I-95 will be a bit faster.
