I wonder if Seekonk SC will still be at Taco Bell. It's been a really long time since that process was started.

Tesla Coming Soon Supercharger map updates
- Thread starter Tdreamer
- Start date
It would be great so see more superchargers in southern mass. There is a big gap between the RI state line and wareham. One in new bedford or fall river would be great. Especially since there is no fast charging in fall river at all.
Hey yeah I get that, my point (mostly sarcastically, guess I should've used the /s...) was that people in Belfast wouldn't want to be called a pass-through. When we visit we're constantly between Belfast and Bass Harbor for the ferry out to my in-laws on the island so I'd love for there to be a SC in Belfast or Ellsworth as you have to go through there to get to the ferry terminal. There's a decent size Hannaford's in Ellsworth that has enough space for a SC...

I get your point, it sounded like I was referring to it as fly over country and it's not that, it is a place that you would want to go. My primary interest is in seeing that Route 1 is covered, it's no fun driving on an Interstate the joy is going from village to village on a scenic road.
To each his own, I guess. I'd rather spend less time in the car on the boring interstate than spend time sitting at stoplights in villages on a scenic road, especially when it means getting to the lake and seeing family a couple hours earlier...

Added to the map as entering the permitting process:
• 650 Memorial Drive, Chicopee MA (I-90 Exit 49) Targeted opening: Q4 2021
• 250 Franklin Village Drive, Franklin MA (I-495 Exit 43) Targeted opening: Q4 2021
• 650 Memorial Drive, Chicopee MA (I-90 Exit 49) Targeted opening: Q4 2021
• 250 Franklin Village Drive, Franklin MA (I-495 Exit 43) Targeted opening: Q4 2021
I agree that Ellsworth is an ideal location, but for those on MDI for a week, it may necessitate a trip off the island, which can be a great inconvenience depending upon the tourists.
I hope the charger is not downtown Bar Harbor. That would be so inconvenient during tourist season, as well as the chance of being ICE’d would be high; hopefully they place it on the outskirts. Somesville, IMHO is preferable, as it has a vibrant enough community to entertain owners while they charge, while being more centrally located on the island for those wanting to avoid the Bar Harbor summer mayhem.
Definitely keep an eye on Ellsworth vs. Bar Harbor itself.... I would keep an eye on the Hannaford supermarket there is a possible site (225 High St, Ellsworth, ME 04605).

Somesville's gas station (On the Run) would indeed be a good location. If you're in a pinch, the Seal Cove Auto Museum has a couple of Level 2 chargers outside, as does that motel in Seawall, right near the park.
The Auto Museum chargers are not available when the museum is closed. There are free 24x7 32A J1772's in the town parking lot in SW Harbor, behind Sawyer's Market - PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You
It makes sense for splitting Waterville, ME (Construction) to Medway, ME, avoiding the Brewer, ME diversion
Also, I believe Newport, ME was on Electrify America's map for the 2022 to June 2024 phase.
And Camden, ME is gone from the map.
(For adapter owners, construction of the Belfast, ME ChargePoints should be beginning soon.)
Hopefully, they can find a new location near Camden as this is a gap that needs to be filled.
I also noted Camden was gone. Keep in mind we've found a bunch of locations over the past 3-6 months that were not on Tesla's map - a few of which have shown up in today's update as they've reached a level of project preparation maturity. It's possible Tesla still has eyes on Camden, but as a lower priority and thus pulled it from the map to keep us from getting our hopes up... We'll see. We do know Tesla had been in touch with the Camden planning board in the past but withdrew their plan prior to actual presentation.
It seems like right now they're focused on adding additional locations at Hannafords along I-95..
They could have push Camden back, or might also reconsider Camden and look at other Midcoast locations. With the Hannaford relationship they could add in Topsham and/or Belfast instead. Word is that work on the Belfast "Dieselgate" chargers will begin soon.
I spoke with Camden Town Hall this week, and they had no idea that Tesla pulled the future charger from the map. They we're actually just getting ready to issue the permit (Hannaford location of course).
Just because it's no longer on the map doesn't mean it's not happening... Thanks for the update - can you relay any further details perhaps via PM regarding your conversation to see what additional details might be available from them regarding the permit?
Tesla has had this job posting up for a month, but only one applicant so far (via LinkedIn at least). This might be why Supercharger permits aren't moving as fast as they could be otherwise-
