Trinidad to Las Vegas isn't a bad ride. Trinidad to Amarillo at a time was HORRENDOUS. Now Clayton is there, that helps a lot but in the winter or strong winds, it gets tricky. Having Raton now will ease some stress.
So these are Locate Request tickets which as far as I can determine are the way in NM to notify and determine underground resources when excavation is expected at a given site.
There are a bunch of locations we’ve heard of from these locate requests: all the Blake’s Lotaburger sites, these two Conoco sites, the Encino site (Bowlin's Flying C Ranch/Exxon on I-70).
Just curious if some additional permit shows up on record before construction begins. The locate request doesn’t seem like a permit yet.
For the Milan NM installation which is now wrapping up, an electrical permit was found dated after the excavation part of the installation had already started. Supercharger - Milan, NM

Yeah, contrary to the “hype”, I’m not convinced that sites like this are a done deal. Tesla recently did sIte surveys of some kind for 5 different sites around Farmington, NM - clearly they aren’t planning to build them all. And no sign of the Blake’s sites getting built yet. Anyway, I hope they do build Raton and Wagon Mound and Las Vegas soon, but I’m skeptical…
I like it when someone finds a permit that has a drawing of the actual layout/design.
One encouraging thing is that a Blake’s Lotaburger site is just down the street from the new Tesla service center in Bernalillo. Hopefully that will encourage building it sooner rather than later.

Just drove by this location. Found a backhoe sitting on a freshly cleared pad of dirt behind Helen's Gift Shop. Backhoe was on the northeast edge of the Conoco parking lot. Maybe unrelated, but if this is in fact the construction site they appear to have begun this project.

Wow, that looks promising! We might check this out in a few days.
Usually there is a National Rent A Fence enclosing a supercharger construction site, but who knows?

Yeah, definitely not conclusive yet… Need to see trenches and/or Tesla equipment on-site, etc.
Went by yesterday. Didn’t take a photo because no change from the last two photos above. No recognizable equipment in the area. This didn’t look to us like a Tesla installation, but who knows?
We’ll be through on Friday and again on Labor Day - will swing by and see if there’s been any change.

A lot of these New Mexico sites with found locate tickets have not done anything for a long while.
When we went by this site we tried to speculate where chargers would go - it’s a head scratcher. DH thought maybe near the street in that gravel area next to the sidewalk.

New Mexico seems to be one of the slower states to install DCFC’s. I’m guessing it’s a lack of infrastructure, low population density, utility demand charges and just a general lack of motivation.
Maybe. I think we are seeing a side effect of how early a locate request is in the process.
There have been several critical NM locations under construction or completed recently. Milan near Grants Pass is complete as is Socorro. Las Cruces is under construction, chargers installed but waiting on the parking lot and building to complete. Yeah I know, still lots of catching up to do.
One of these years I’m hoping for a Roswell NM supercharger.
