Wow it looks like even if it was open there would be a huge pile of sand and rock in the way of charging

I have a friend who lives in Eau Claire I told him to check out the Oakwood mall. I cant think of a better place right now but I am assuming it will be close to I94
Is it just me or is the crew at Madison a bit challenged? Just an observation but it seems that the crew at Onalaska lapped them and then some (with no tents). Anyways, anyone else notice the SuperCharger page now shows 170 miles for a 30 minute charge vs. 200 (which it was showing before if I remember correctly).

It's the same crew, the same crew is doing Madison, Mauston, Onalaska and Eau Claire. Pleasant Prairie is a completely separate crew. But yes, Madison was a challenge due to limited work space, and weather

Thanks for the photos! .... If each pedestal has it's own Supercharger that should mean very fast charging. I usually arrive at a supercharger with under 30 miles remaining and get my first hundred miles of charge in fifteen minutes {when I do not have to share the supercharger}. As long as the next supercharger location is not too far away, and it is much, much warmer outside, traveling form one to another in the midwest should be effortless. I'm reading that keeping the car warm uses quite a bit of energy sooo in wintery conditions, we'll have to add and extra 50 miles or so of charge between superchargers to be comfortable. That's about a thirty-forty minute stop in winter, still very comfortable after driving for a few hours. Looking forward to your video soon!

Sorry I do not know:frown: but I think they would have to enclose the charging equipment first.

@ Calvin.K===>>Great pics
Lots of work to still occur here:
** enclosure fence and secured gate for ESVE
** probably pour concrete bases for EV charging signage posts
** move and smooth piles of dirt, do some type of landscaping/sod/seeding
** remove dirt from paving area, thoroughly clean paving, probably re-paint parking space stripes
** remove all temporary orange fencing and posts
I can't imagine SpC HV power being on without the ESVEs being protected/secured inside a fence

At least without a fence, you could stand outside in the WI winter in front of the cooling fan, and have a nice breeze, even at 0 degrees out
But yah, a lot of TLC needs to be done, but I think a portion will not be until spring. 0 degrees = pile of dirt has the consistency of concrete.

Do you think Tesla should put a supercharger between Madison and Wausau since it is about 140 miles and in the winter it may be difficult to do with a 60kwh battery?

It's about THIS car.
Maybe, but I can't imagine you'll see them that close together until Gen3 is out on the road for a while. If ever.
Its live. Just dropped off a box to Tom from Tesla who was there today to turn the site up. He said its good to go. The remaining items such as fencing and landscape will be finished in the spring.
