    Has anyone heard any news on when/if South Dakota may be getting another Supercharger to complete the I29 stretch to Fargo?

    I can't wait for this to open. The cold temps, wind, and elevation change in the area cuts the range of my model 3 by close to 50%

    Not supercharger news, but news about upcoming fast charging in Watertown, SD nonetheless: State Regulators Want to Invest More in Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in South Dakota

    The state is using the VW Dieselgate money for grants to build CCS/CHAdeMO stations in both Watertown and Brookings. Teslas would of course need the appropriate adapter to be able to use them. Here's the full presentation the above reporting is based on: https://boardsandcommissions.sd.gov/bcuploads/BME December Packet.pdf

    Now showing expected Q2 2021. Could this be another Target Stores location? There's a Target about 1 mile west of I-29...

    Edit: There's also a Hy-Vee a bit west of the Target

    Quoted directly from the Supercharge Info forum. Further discussion can continue here:

    "Watertown Municipal Utilities in Watertown SD (605-882-6233) has a permit for a new Tesla supercharger in Watertown. The permit was issued last year. I spoke with an engineer there who confirmed the chargers would be located at Hy-Vee in the NW corner of the parking lot. Due to Covid, they delayed the construction till this spring. supposed to be 8 chargers."

    Permit for Watertown SD supercharger

    Along Primary Interstates: I-29
    Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): US-81, US-212
    Along Auxiliary Interstates: None

    I-29

    From: Sioux Falls, SD - 102.6 miles
    To: Fargo, ND - 143.1 miles
    Diversion: 1.8 miles
    From: Sioux City, IA (Permit) - 189.1 miles
    To: Grand Forks, ND (Permit) - 215.4 miles

    US-81

    From: Salina, KS - 454.9 miles
    To: Fargo, ND - 144.7 miles
    Diversion: 1.8 miles
    From: Wichita, KS - 692.1 miles
    To: Grand Forks, ND - 217 miles

    US-212

    From: Billings, MT - 632.3 miles
    To: End (US-169 Eden Prairie, MN) - 195.7 miles
    Diversion: 0.2 miles
    From: Start (Yellowstone National Park, WY) - 752.8 miles

    Another location to add to the I-29 post-corona work list.

    But, even by itself the location would reduce the largest gap along I-29 to 183.4.
