This is a shame that the Seekonk supercharger has seemingly been left on the back burner for so long. Would be very welcome in the area. I also think that the Southcoast Marketplace in Fall River would make a decent supercharger location given the amount of retail and food options nearby and easy access to the freeway.

Why? There's no information that the project has been totally dropped and Tesla lists Seekonk on their map for 2022. In the past, I would have said that it being on Tesla's map didn't mean anything, but in the recent updates they removed old pins where they weren't still working towards a supercharger in a specific spot. The map has been much more reliable now.
Correct - that change showed up on the coming soon website on 8/3 (was still 2022 on 7/31/21)
Building permits BLDGCO-2021-00182 and ELEC-2021-00869 were issued 9/28/2021 and 10/15/2021 respectively for an 8 stall V3 installation to be located at 965 Fall River Ave in Seekonk, MA. The permits were issued to Gordon Building and Excavating, a regular in New England for Supercharger construction. The just finished both Chicopee and Franklin, and have a permit just approved for Ellsworth, ME. It's possible this location could now or soon begin construction. NOTE: This is a Q2'2022 pin on Tesla's map, so it's possible construction is not imminent as well.
This appears to be the site of an old restaurant that has is being redeveloped as a gas station/convenience store. I don't know the progress of that redevelopment, but if they're issuing permits for the supercharger, then the gas station construction is likely underway.
This would appear to replace the previously proposed location of 101 Commerce Way that had been previously approved by the planning board.

Drove by the site today. Lots and lots going on, on this lot. So I couldn't pull in to take pictures. This location will be more convenient to the highway
Thanks for the update. Curious to hear if any of that activity appears in the location where the Supercharger is planned, or if it's just either demolition of the original restaurant or construction of the gas station/convenience store.

Looks like the entire lot is in the process of building the gas station. They had the structure of the pump canopy started, looked like curbs and grass areas had loam already. It was hard to get a great look because that road is so busy. But I was excited to see it.
Site is progressing quickly (thanks Gordon!) with photo credit to John Rohland.
Cross-posting this business story about Neon's growth plans that include EV charging at their stations.Here is a business story about Neon and their growth plans that include co-installing EV charging stations from both Tesla and ChargePoint in their new builds.
Neon Marketplace Shines Light on Growth
Neon Marketplace arrived on the scene in mid-2020, opening two stores in New England in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic at a time when most c-storecstoredecisions.com
In case you missed it - the Middletown, RI location now likely to be:

Portsmouth, RI
Information as of today is this site needs a pole dropped by National Grid before they can do the transformer and hookup. No estimate available for completion.

I took this on my way home Wednesday afternoon from a trip.

Gordon Construction working to run the conduit over to the pad which was still waiting for a transformer in this picture. The contractor has crews finishing Seekonk, nearby Warwick, RI, Concord, NH and Ellsworth, ME concurrently.
