Where do you want a new Supercharger?

Andrews TX
Roswell NM,

Major dead zone in a high traffic/tourist area.

There’s a level 2 charger installed by a forum member, with the help of some very generous donations. That should tell you something..... Tesla.

Vancouver, BC
Burnaby BC. There is a very centric mall that's getting re-developed in which they could put them at (Brentwood Mall). This would ensure there is a central location close to the highway to charge at.

The only other options are downtown Vancouver's Pacific Centre which is a 20+ minute detour from highway 1 and you have to pay $4/30 minutes on top of the cost of charging on a V2 charger. Or the convention centre which has only 8 V2 stations & and also charges $3.50/30 minutes to park.

If you want to avoid downtown Vancouver, you have to drive out to Surrey which is 30+ minutes from downtown vancouver (V2 stations, free parking tho). Or Abbotsford 50+ minutes from Vancouver but its a V3 charger with free parking

Something in Ottawa other than the 72kW ones inside the pay parking at Rideau Centre would be nice, That has to be the least convenient location ever, high traffic and far from the highway. CHAdeMO stations with free parking are located in much more convinrent locations.

Canada’s capital deserves better than that :). Even the service centre here doesn’t have a supercharger.

Two of the longest gaps between superchargers on the US map:
1. Seligman, AZ (half way between Kingman & Flagstaff AZ on I-40)
2. Mesquite, NV (Half way between Las Vegas NV & St George UT on I-15)

I29, ND. Grand Forks and Pembina. (and Watertown SD)

Yellowhead Highway - Saskatoon, North Battleford, Lloydminster, Vegreville,
Then on to Edson, Jasper and at Lake Louise so the Icefield Parkway is driveable.
They've covered the lower western Trans-Canada route, now do the northern one...

+1 to Roswell. That seems like an obvious candidate.

West Memphis, AR would also be a good spot. The Memphis supercharger is ridiculously far out of the way if you're turning and going up I55.

Also, Farmington, MO to shore up the gap between Sikeston and Rolla.

Ventura County, CA. Oxnard, Ventura, Simi Valley. Only one I know of is in Thousand Oaks. I use destination charger in Simi Valley, it's free if you stay at their hotel.

Michigan upper peninsula.

It’s a huge dead zone that makes Lake Superior recreational areas unreachable from the south and makes traversing the upper peninsula difficult-to-impossible.

Potentially* having to drive all the way south around the southern tip of Lake Michigan or having to go north around Lake Superior through Canada in order to reach northern Michigan from the west is ridiculous. (*If you can’t make the 254 miles from Howard, WI to Mackinaw City, MI on a single charge. And even if you can, depending on where you’re coming from, detouring through Howard is potentially way out of the way.)

Two planned sites with no progress in years:
Supercharger - Escanaba, MI
Supercharger - Marquette, MI
