Wisconsin Supercharger Discussion & Tracking

[islandbayy]

Stopped at East Towne in Madison yesterday afternoon and the guys were working madly to "finish up today" (which I thought was a good idea since one of those lovely "Arctic air masses" is headed our way). The nice tents they had set up over their work area collapsed under the snow. It still looked to me like a fair amount of work needed to get done - like concrete pouring or something - but they said they would stay until midnight every night until it was done. Will try to stop by again tomorrow after work and see how things look.
Looks like 3 charging stations (one not in photo, behind a big pile of dirt still)

Please ask where they are headed next!

That crew will be heading to either Onalaska or Eau Claire to finish. I'll see if they know what state after that.

Wonder why only 3 stations in a location likely to get a lot of traffic?

I think that is incorrect. There are three chargers for 6 charging stalls. Their map is also obviously goofy.

Wow, they popped that one up quick. As of yesterday, my mom (dove past) said something about wrappings on the kiosks??? Really are trying for that 2013 deadline

Does Tesla get the tax credits (30%?) from installing SCs? That would be a good reason to squeeze in the ones that are close.

Will be leaving my home in Greendale in about 1-2 hours, so I'll be at the Madison Supercharger in about 3ish hours, Roughly between 3 and 4pm. I need to finish up some work at home (Had sewer backup this weekend!) then I will be on my way.

Video posting tonight, I will have that nice shiny 4meg upload speed once I get to the dells.

Do we have confirmation that Madison IS live or is merely the web page "up".

Not a clue @_@ I hope so. I think their is a credit for installing them at home or business, so I don't see why they wouldn't get some sort of credit

You'll have confirmation in 3-5 hours

50 is such a nice number! Especially given what we started the year with. And, it's cool to see it happen in Madison, one of the best little cities in the USA.

 

[islandbayy]

Little? Madison is HUGE.

Little? Madison is HUGE.

Especially when compared to Mauston

I would guess they do. And they get to write it off as an operating too!

Nice +1

I'm thinking I'll swing by Pleasant Prairie tonight on my way home from work to see how close they are. As I drove by on I94 this morning the tent was still up.

Now I just gotta find out when I can sneak out of here without the boss seeing!

After living in Portland and Seattle, Madison is a tiny town.
