Well, they could finish fixing the gaps ...

And don't get me started on the US Numbered Highways. Lots of holes to fill.
But as for Maine, besides the Midcoast/Camden, ME now-it's-coming-now-it-isn't the North could do with some love.
(Efficiency Maine has some RFPs out now for charging along US-1 all the way to Fort Kent).
Wiki - Largest gaps between Superchargers on US Interstates
On the Socorro, NM thread @PLUS EV asked if I had a list of gaps 140 miles or greater. Of course I do! I posted there, but I figured I'd create a separate thread for it. MAJOR EDIT: Reorganized to:: 1) Top 25 regular gaps not yet split 2) Gaps on "Future Interstates" or current fastest route...

Transition Distances Between Interstates
Here's a list of the longest transitions between Superchargers on different intersecting Interstates The list includes some "future" Interstates. Distances are from/to the Supercharger either side of the Intersection. #1 I-69 Kuttawa, KY to I-55 Grenada, MS 287.2 miles #2 I-10 Flatonia, TX to...

I saw the title and got my hopes up, thinking "Service Center" not "Supercharger".

I don't have a Twitter account and I'm not going to create one just for this.
So where is everybody voting for with their 5 votes, and where you are suggesting for new locations?

I did locations I'm likely to travel to or through (eg Bennington VT and Provincetown), and suggested Greenfield, MA,
which would plug a hole in this part of New England.

In addition to the solicitation for locations via Twitter and the subsequent voting process, Tesla now has (or has once again) a site dedicated to collecting suggestions for locations. Feel free to use it to add ideas or soft-votes for what to ask a broader audience in the future:

I just noticed, just because a town comes up in the location search it doesn't mean that you can vote for it. It looks like there is nothing in Western MA or in Maine on the voting list. Bennington VT is available so I voted for that and I also voted for a couple of sites in Nova Scotia because I'd like to go to Cape Breton which isn't doable right now. I also voted for Provincetown just because there aren't any choices available that I think will be useful, the Cape is already well covered so Provincetown doesn't enable anything although it is nice to have a Supercharger at a destination.

You can only vote for locations Tesla put on the map for voting - presumably locations that gathered sufficient nominations from the twitter request for nominations, but I don't think anyone outside of Tesla knows for sure. The process seems to be headed for a recurring (annual?) vote as input to the site development process along the metrics based and property owner requested site development list. Only Tesla knows how they weight the owner voted sites vs. the other two. Regardless, it's nice to have Tesla soliciting owner feedback.
It is quarterly. From the voting home page: Supercharger Voting | Tesla
And you can suggest sites for the next quarterly vote at any time: Suggest Superchargers | Tesla
I have asked that Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative Inc · 21 Union St, Calais, ME 04619 be included in the next Supercharger vote.
Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative Inc
21 Union St, Calais, ME 04619
They have a good size parking lot, and it's in downtown Calais next door to the visitors center.
It's the far end of RT1 before you cross over into Canada.

For Maine, I think Machias, ME would be a better add as together with Baileyville, ME that would fully open up Washington County and Campobello Island, NB.
It's 64.3 miles from Machias, ME to Baileyville, ME if you follow US-1 all the way.
It's 58.3 miles form Machias, ME to the Ferry Point bridge in Calais, ME following US-1.
Since there's already Baileyville, ME, maybe St Stephen, NB would be better than Calais, ME.
But there's also Northern Maine that still requires crossing to Canada. Houlton, ME at the Hannaford would help some avoid border crossings.
In the past pre-covid, I have spent a bunch of time kayaking in the Eastport Lubec area. Being able to charge in the USA and not having to cross the boarder would be great.
I suggested the location as this is the parking lot of the electric co-op. It looks like they have 3 phase power.
I would rather find a location in Eastport or Lubec, I didn't see a location that would be much better than this location for the area.
Houlton, ME wouldn't help this area, I do agree that it's a location that requires a charger.
Tesla findus has added Windham, ME for Q1 2023.
There are already Chargepoint chargers (which I've used) at the Hannaford at the Windham Mall in north Windham.
It's on US-302. 3.6 miles from the intersection with US-202, but if you're heading west or farther along US-202 you can take Maine state routes there and back to US-202 for a smaller diversion.
