Supercharger - Wells, ME

[Tdreamer]

I believe the proposed Wells Maine supercharger will be at the Wells Corner Shopping Center, 1517 Post Rd (Rt-1), Wells ME 04090. Wells recently appeared on the Tesla findus supercharger map with a Q2'23 completion target. I have a source showing it at this address and the town has confirmed a consulting firm asking questions about this address, and also a survey crew doing some work in the past few weeks which seems likely to be part of developing the site plan.

For now, probably insufficient data to put a permitted pin on supercharge.info, but seems likely to progress to that in the coming months.

NOTE: Credit to MarcoRP who posted this address on twitter 7/14 - I've been monitoring the site and had held off creating this thread until further confirming info was available.

It should be noted that Wells, ME | Tesla now seems to include the proposed address for the coming soon locations. This is a change to the site within the past week or so (to list the coming soon addresses)

They fixed it. No longer shows the address.

It appears to have been a mistake: Tesla leaks the locations of planned Superchargers across the world

Fortunately, the lists for the US and Canada were scraped and reposted.

Yesterday Tesla updated their Supercharger map as they usually do at the beginning of the quarter, adding new locations and updating the estimated opening dates for Supercharger stations around the world. However this time they […]

I'm really pleased to see this location - I visit Wells a couple times a year at least.

It will save runs up to the Kennebunk service area.

Engineering drawings show it could be V4, per Marco

Agreed. Similar to Danvers, MA. Until these begin construction and Tesla hardware shows up we won't know for sure if these drawings with two possible pedestal types mean a V4 site for sure. For now, it suggests Tesla is getting ready to roll out new equipment and want planning board approval that includes both options to ensure local compliance.

Per the supermarket, construction began last week. Would someone be close enough to swing by and perhaps share a few photos?

 

[Gwgan]

I could swing by Wednesday, I’ll be headed past on 95 then if nobody updates sooner

Sorry folks. Flights delayed. Battery low. Had to skip Wells and got to Kennebunk plaza with <8% at midnight, car predicted <3% if we added the stop

Appreciate the thought... perhaps on the return trip.

 

[Gwgan]

That was the return trip

Appreciate the attempt. I haven't gotten any additional updates from the store yet - they said they might try to talk with the contractor for me to get more info on timeline but I'm not holding my breath.

Pretty sure the supercharger construction has begun, but without a little more confirming info (ideally site photos, but a report from someone swinging by would probably be sufficient) we'll probably hold off marking the site under construction on supercharge.info.

 

[Tdreamer]

Confirmed as under construction! Site photos / updates from people in the area are of course always welcome!

Courtesy of Martin Brooks on FB. Reports of the transformer pad set and no Tesla equipment onsite yet. From the photo, also looks like a new pole and work on the primary run from there to the pad is in progress.

Visited the site today 02-21. Still needs lots of work to complete.

Nice. This would be used a lot in the summer with the tourists from mass and NY. should be done by then.

Very little progress being made here…
