Drove by the proposed site today... no activity yet

 

[PwrOutage]

Decided to stop by today as I was driving by. Flags are out.

I was at the Meijer store last week and check at the customer service desk and the lady didn't know anything about Tesla or superchargers. At least the flags show the beginnings of something happening.

 

[memcd]

Drove by this afternoon. No change. Flags still there.

I hope they build this one out by end of this year. That would be awesome.

Construction is afoot!

Thanks! Looks like a good start! They already are digging holes to run conduit by the looks of it.

Any idea of how many stalls might be installed?
