Nice.
Taking care of SW VT. That's US-7 but also NY-7/VT-279/VT-9. That puts it on some fastest routes to Rutland, VT o Killington, VT. Or it's just an alternative route avoiding Interstates.
I wanted to add also, within short walking distance is a subway and across the street from Dunkin' is an amazing Philly Cheesesteak place that just opened called Philly D's.
No crosswalks according to streetview, but it looks like that's because you don't need crosswalks there.
there is crosswalks on both sides, all the way to main st. The superchargers are right behind Dunkin'No crosswalks according to streetview, but it looks like that's because you don't need crosswalks there.

If you're walking along North St that's great. I was referring to crossing the street to the Philly space.

Great news! We pass through Bennington every now and then when we travel out east. The very back lot of Dunkin seems to be the logical spot to build it out. Only a few blocks north of Rte. 9 middle of town.
John Stark is pointing towards the new SC in this pic.

Good spot to top off before heading to Bromley for ski season.
This is great. I have been nominating Bennington and some other nearby places the last couple of supercharger competitions because of a back road route I take from Cold Spring, NY to my home in southern vermont. To make it with my aging MX, I have to charge to 100% at Clinton Corners supercharger on the Taconic otherwise. Bennington will make this trip much easier.
Gotcha yeah, not that busy of a road and worth it. They are great cheesesteaks!
Took a pic today, the crew was installing the last dispenser. I asked about when the power might be turned on, and got the “not sure, maybe a couple weeks” answer.
Thanks again for the photo and update. From the description of your visit and photo, my guess is the contractor was finishing up the wiring. They might need to seal/strip the spots in front of the stalls too to finish things off. I'm not sure we've seen any photos of a transformer pad (with or without a transformer) and meter. Those would need to be in place and wired up before Tesla could come and commission the site. Transformers can take a while to arrive these days.
Anyone in the area, if you're looking for an excuse to visit, it would be great to learn the status of the transformer (empty pad, transformer placed, meter present....). Photo of same would help with answer any questions if it isn't obvious. This would help with time estimates on when the site might be ready for a visit from Tesla.
Pictures aren't that clear, sorry. Taken 12/15/2023. There are 3 white transformer boxes, and one big green one. Lines aren't painted yet. No protective bollards in place except in front of the green transformer. These do NOT appear to be the "magic plug" adapters that support CCS cars. Can't wait!
