An 8-stall Supercharger is coming soon to the Big B Truck Stop in Tokio, about 10 miles NE from the current Ritzville Supercharger. An 811 ticket was filed yesterday by Blackstone Construction for the build.

Such an interesting location. I'm curious if Tesla will divest of the Ritzville location eventually? Aren't those leases pretty long (15+ years)? Either way, I'm excited to have this option close to Cheney.
I think this is the only logical option. Essentially capacity and they don’t have another spot in Ritzville. There is plenty of acreage there, but they don’t do that.I didn't even realize there was a proper exit at Tokio. I thought it was just a weigh station lol.
I-90 is definitely going to need more supercharger stalls by the summer, especially for big holiday weekends. The current supercharger in Ritzville is only 4 stalls, often has stalls down and/or low power output. It's not a given that Tesla would be allowed to expand there. In fact, I think they would have already done it if they could have. That hotel recently expanded and they may not want to give up more parking spots.

I was referring to the other I-90IMO you're absolutely right, although I think the real bottleneck on I90 is at tri-cities.

Tesla's normal lease agreements are 5 years, with an option for another 5 years.Such an interesting location. I'm curious if Tesla will divest of the Ritzville location eventually? Aren't those leases pretty long (15+ years)? Either way, I'm excited to have this option close to Cheney.
I did an out and back for a 2019 game Seattle > Ritzville > Pullman > Ritzville > Seattle. It was a long dayWill be great to supplement ritzville but can’t believe Tesla not planning on putting a sc in Pullman? What do people do for charging if going to a WSU football game from the west side? Hard enough getting a hotel room let alone the few hotel or J-772 chargers?
Ritzville has been there 7.5-8 years (depending on if the clock starts with construction or activation).Tesla's normal lease agreements are 5 years, with an option for another 5 years.
It's very tight where the 4 stalls are. There is definitely not room for more chargers there.I didn't even realize there was a proper exit at Tokio. I thought it was just a weigh station lol.
