Supercharger - Rawlins, WY

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

In post Supercharger - Rock Springs, WY @tniner posted a response from Tesla that mentioned 3 more Wyoming Supercharger locations they were looking at.

from tesla today...

Thank you for your email. Our Developer Team is actively working to build Supercharger Stations across Interstate 80 in the cities of Evanston, Rock Springs, Rawlins, and Laramie. Although we are still in the early phases of deployment, we certainly understand the need to complete charging along this route. There are a number of scenarios that can affect the timeline for a new site so we cannot make guarantees about opening dates, but we are working hard to open these site as quickly as we can.

So, I'm creating threads for them.

Called Rawlins Planning and Zoning and asked if Tesla had requested a permit for a charge station. Not yet. He said that it has been talked about, but no they have not asked for a permit.

That's too bad.

Just got a call back from the Fairfield Inn and they said they will have Superchargers installed by September.

Hard to believe that construction hasn't begun given the fact three others nearby are in process.

Front desk lady said they have "just started" construction.

I wonder if this is the crew from Evanston?

 

[tmoz]

All four under construction at the same time. Would be nice to know the different stages. paperwork might take longer than the construction.

Fairfield Inn confirmed. Looks like 8 stalls. Two backhoes and a bunch of the wooden Tesla boxes on site. Trench dug, some pipes sticking up out of the ground where the bollards will go and lots of pipes lying around on the ground. I took some crappy nighttime pics. Will try to post them in the next couple days.

When they built our local two in northern WY, they bounced back and forth between sites--took about a week to build ours.

I just drove by today. Here are some pictures of the progress.

Wonder if it will be ready for my early August trip...

I think the construction will be done, but flipping the switch will be questionable. I hope so. I have another trip from Loveland, CO to SLC mid Aug.

 

[tniner]

really need supercharger or destination charging at Pinedale for coilorado and New Mexico drivers traveling to tetons/ yellowstone

 

[DC Doc]

Met the construction workers. They've got the foundations and footings done.

 

[Bighorn]

Are they the group from Sparks?

Looks like the construction is coming along nicely!
