Hot dam! Just what the doctor ordered. Will definitely help relieve congestion at the Lindale station.
I still think Longview, Texas should be a priority since it is more equidistant from Lindale and Shreveport than Tyler.
There is, however, a 4-stall DC fast charger (Red E) in Longview, but it is 85¢/kWh!

No sign of construction as of 3/4/2024. The TDLR application start date says 3/15/2024, so I'll keep my disappointment to a minimum.
I drove by a few weeks ago and surveyed the area for a likely location for the Superchargers.
My first guess is where the yellow circle is, but there is a tall retaining wall there right in front of the parking spaces.
My second guess is where the red circle is, but there are only 7 parking spaces there, so some concrete work would need to be done.
There is a single-phase drop just east of the store and a three-phase drop at the north corner, but electrical distribution lines run along both sides and rear of the property, so supply shouldn't be a major issue regardless of location.
As an aside, I could have sworn that the original completion date was listed as 11/15/24 - I remember thinking "9 months".

Speaking of Tyler, Texas and surrounding areas...
It looks dozens of EV fast charging locations are about to pop up across the state.
Last night, I noticed an unexpected announcement for a new charging location in Kilgore, Texas.
I had hoped this would be Tesla Superchargers, but it will actually be non-Tesla fast chargers owned by Francis Energy LLC. The nearest locations owned by this company charge 52¢/kWh compared to 31¢/kWh for Superchagers in the area.
Most of these pending locations appear to be the result of Texas' NEVI program.
GM Energy is about to open a fast charging location in Tyler - just waiting on a transformer.

I was passing through the area and stopped by to take a look. It certainly possible that this is the Tesla construction location, but I don't think so. I think this is just curb rework as part of the restaurant drive-thru build. Until we see hardware going in, or at least conduits, anybody coming through here to check on construction should still look at the whole parking lot, including the area to the northeast, #1 / yellow above.
