Supercharger - Sioux City, IA

[Mark5dg]

1 - it is unlikely to be running this weekend
2- 4727 Southern Hills Dr, Sioux City, IA 51106
3 - They appear to be V3

Watch here, www.plugshare.com, or supercharge.info to see if anything changes.
Best plan for this weekend would be to have a CHAdeMO to Supercharger adapter and use one of the 2 CHAdeMO chargers nearby:

Kum & Go | Sioux City, IA | EV Station

150 kW charging only capable for 800V EVs. 400V EVs will charge a max of 80 kW.

and

Hy-Vee | South Sioux City, NE | EV Station

DCFC + Level 2 (funding awarded per http://deq.ne.gov/NDEQProg.nsf/OnWeb/AirVW-4)

Thank you! We get to NW IA often so at least there is finally progress and for me the location is great.

I haven't heard of a "new" V2 station going up in a long time.

I have the same question. I've never followed a SC installation closely. How far away are we realistically to this being available?

Could be 3 weeks. Could be 3 months. Really depends on how quickly the public utility gets the transformer and meter in place and then how quickly Tesla tests and activates. And of course, there's always a risk that someone screws something up. One near my house had the bollards installed and uninstalled twice before they finally got it right the 3rd time. Totally maddening!

Generally agree. The one I just mentioned in my previous post (Seattle-Ballard) is the only new v2 I've heard of recently and it opened in December. I talked to the guy in charge of the project and he said the garage's electrical couldn't support v3. I was honestly surprised that one wasn't an urban supercharger and I'm not sure why they didn't go that route, but no complaints about getting a faster charge rate of course!

Just posted by someone else in the South Dakota Tesla fb group: Sioux City supercharger update. My brother spoke to the electrician in the photo, he said the SC should be operational in the next few days. A Tesla rep will be at SC Thursday this week to do final inspection. Zoom into the picture to see the internal stuff on the chargers.

I wonder what the average time from bollards being up to "operational" is.

Just to chime in...
There are quite a few factors, maybe and maybe not related to each other. Each one could be given an 'average' time but they would be so varied that if you try to get an overall average it wouldn't mean much - because one of those can be max - another min and it just makes the final number all wrong. Recently, the local utility transformer installation was a good indication of 'soon'. But even that has been know to appear at the beginning of an installation.

Looking good

My experience has been that Superchargers are often on and can be used before they are formally commissioned or appear on one's touchscreen. I wouldn't count on it though, however, if someone happens to be in the area, it might be worth trying them out.

I’d be happy to hook up and try but I’m STILL waiting for my car

STILL waiting for my car

Keep the faith. I had to wait 2 years for my first Tesla. I know how tough it can be. At least I didn't have to see others happily driving theirs around though.

Barriers are gone. It’s quite possibly the Chargers are open

I visited and the lights were off on the chargers. I don’t hear the electrical equipment humming. Meter is not running.

 

[Southpawmedic]

Shoot. Maybe tomorrow. I’m working from home so I won’t be down there tomorrow

Anyone seen any changes/updates? Guessing it should be live soon!

 

[RedishArctic]

I’ll swing by tomorrow afternoon(Saturday) on my way thru to Omaha. If it’s anything like the Minnetonka supercharger up here in the twin cities that one took two weeks to get energy flowing after the initial install of the stalls. Hope this one is quicker than that.

My helper says no charge. I spin thru on Tuesday I’ll stop again and hope for a better update.

I'll be driving through Tuesday around 1:30 pm

A little birdie tells me that barring last minute issues these will light up by the end of the week.

Thanks for sharing! Cute pupper! Curious to see if it’ll be working Tuesday…
