Supercharger - Rutland, Vermont

[PV EV in VT]

Good News!!!! Rutland, VT might finally get the superchargers promised on the Tesla map for the past few years.

The March 10, 2020 edition of the Rutland Herald announced that Tesla has submitted application to install six charging stations at the Stewart 's Shop on Woodstock Ave (VT State Route 4, east of the city, on the way to Pico & Killington).

According to the article, the proposal will be evaluated at the March 18th Development Review Board. Let's hope is gets approved.

Here's a link to the article: Tesla plans charging stations in city

DRB will take it up on Monday at this point:
DRB Meeting 4/6/20

Folks in the area, call/write in support of this please, it's a huge gap in the state's supercharger coverage. With this one, the state would be considerably more rounded with coverage.

Thanks, have just added this one to supercharge.info! Also requested to move this thread to the New England forum which is followed by many others in the region - it might get a bit more visibility there!

This is great! Rutland has been on the "coming soon" map for a while. Rt 7 has decent coverage with ChAdeMo, but could really use a supercharger. Eventually I'd also like to see Bennington and St Johnsbury get one. I don't typically drive my Model 3 up to VT, but if I do this would be a great location for me.

The Supercharge.info/mapbox-fastest routes to places either side of the area would usually be via Interstates, but it'll be a pleasant and probably more efficient drive if you're sticking to the US highways.

Meeting notes were posted, nobody was opposed, and there were some support letters from the public for the project. DRB has 45 days to file their decision, but it reads positive in the meeting notes. Might actually happen finally!

I wonder what happened.

I contacted the Rutland Zoning Review Board today, and was told that The City approved the Tesla charging station (6 charging posts and related equipment) at the Stewart's Shop on Woodstock Avenue. A letter of approval dated April 10, 2020 was sent to Stewart's Shops Corporation.

This will be the third supercharger installation at a Stewart's Shop. The others are Chestertown, NY off exit 25 of I-87 (the Adirondack Northway), and Clinton Corners, NY just off the Taconic Parkway.

Anyone local to Rutland to take a peak?

Not local, but I am driving between VT and CT on Sunday. Not sure whether I will take 7 or 89/91, but if I take the former, I'll try to stop in and see if any progress has been made.

Thanks for making the effort and getting the information.

You're welcome!

I went to Rutland late last week to check the site, and found no signs of progress,

The letter of approval from the City of Rutland indicated that the charging stations will be on the corner nearest Stratton Rd. In this Google image, that would be where the white van is parked. BTW... if you look at the Google image, you may also appreciate seeing the Great Dane standing in the convertible parked nearest the store.

Last week, I also contacted Stewart's Shop headquarters for an update, but no reply yet. I'll update this post when/if I hear back.

 

[MrMassTransit]

I stopped by today also on my drive south and can confirm no progress. I would guess that the supercharger will be installed along the row my car is parked in.

As someone who drives to that part of Vermont every once in a while, I'd be really happy to see this one go in.

Drove past today -- looks like they have started to excavate the side of parking lot nearest Stratton Road

@VTGolfer - if you have a chance to get a few pictures of the construction underway, and any tesla related supercharger equipment that might already be onsite it would be great. With that, we can get this site marked as under construction on supercharge.info.

 

[VTGolfer]

@Tdreamer -- Was able to snap this from the stoplight on Sat 8/8/20, will try to get some better ones in the near future

I drove by over the weekend, no identifiable Tesla equipment yet.

Thanks for the picture. If you happen to be driving by in the coming days/weeks and see any evidence of Tesla equipment (white supercharger/electrical cabinets; pallets of supercharger pedestals in boxes) it would be great to see some additional photos.

@ilyak - thanks for confirming. Probably a little early in the project; some of these sites seem to be progressing rapidly these days.

@Chuq / @MarcoRP / @tes-s - this might be worth showing under construction at this point even without Tesla equipment onsite.
