Poor Electrify America, there's already a free dcfc one there and now a supercharger. No one is going to pay those high prices.

We should be able to put this in PERMIT status now. @mociaf9 , @corywright. I drive past this site twice a week. I'll check it this evening, but won't expect any activity till next week.

First check in. No activity as expected. I’m fairly confident the Superchargers will end up on the east side of the South East corner. There is a ZEF energy (DCFC) and a dual clipper creek L2 on the south end of that corner.

you can see EA installation in the Background of Last photo.

I’ve been told they will go on the north east corner. I found a zoning map that has those spots unzoned compared to the rest of the lot.

That’s certainly possible. I’m only speculating based on existing infrastructure. Taphouse twenty is on the east side of the building complex and the parking lot was quite full on that side when I stopped to check the site. The other side was empty. I would think it would go in a lower use area. Guess we’ll find out next week, since construction is scheduled to start Monday 7/26.

If true, then likely here.

The grassed area around the parking section I highlighted earlier has been flagged. I’m not sure if that is enough evidence to call it construction, but it is physical activity at the site consist with what we were expecting.

We don't have any hard rules on when a site should be considered under construction, but generally if we know for certain a specific site is only for Superchargers then once the ground has been broken we'll update it. Utility markings and flaggings sometimes appear long before actual construction starts.

Thanks for all keeping us all in the loop and providing photos!

I checked in on the site this morning. A half dozen new Red flags had been placed indicating the electrical line going to the light pole within the White flagged boundary perimeter. Also noteworthy, the area immediately surrounding the Electrify America Transformer and Charging equipment had also been newly flagged with the same red flags. This makes me wonder if they plan to extend the Main Feed line from EA location a few hundred feet east under Helen Walton Dr. for the Tesla site transformer.

We have Construction!!!!!! I was here early Monday morning with nothing but flags. Now the site full of equipment conduit trenching is dug with pre fab pedestal bases conduit already set.

Great! Thanks for posting the pics.

By the way, though I closely follow supercharger activity in North America and am active both here and on their forum, I'm not an editor at Supercharge.info. So, while I'm perfectly fine with you continuing to tag me in future comments about supercharger progress/updates (or whatever else) if you want, including my name specifically isn't going to directly result in any action on SC.info's map/database.

@Chuq @corywright @MarcoRP @tes-s Please update the location to 44.018885, -90.507493.

Construction day 7 update! All pedestals are in with 90% dirt backfilled. As I suspected, they are pulling power from the EA site across the road. The north side of the street is flagged and staked. They have some conduit laying along the run. The horizontal boring machine just arrived on site.

 

[starman27]

Any updates?

 

[DMC5180]

I stopped by Tuesday morning. Not much changed at the physical site since my last post. However, they have completed the main power feed run from the the EA transformer just down the street to the site Transformer location.

It will be awesome to have V3 SCs on this route. Especially around the halfway point between MSP and Chicago.

Mauston and Eau Claire are regularly over half full and trolling at under 100kw on a V2 blows.
