Do we know a set location for this charger yet?
Not yet. It's still showing as "Opening Soon", despite not being on the 2015 or 2016 maps at all.

Do we know a set location for this charger yet?
Any updated news out there? Just drove back through Champaign in the minivan because we couldn't make an hour stop in Champaign to charge for the holidays with the 3 kiddos. Would love to make a 10-15 minute stop in the Tesla and continue on!
Meijer is already a major partner with Supercharger locations in Michigan and Ohio. It would be a promising lead if they have an application for charging stations, as they don't have much of a track record with any other kind of charging station besides Superchargers.
Don't give up hope.
I have heard from a reliable source that Supercharger construction is "coming soon" to Champaign...
Any word from your reliable source lately?
No news. Just think of it as coming soon somewhere between reality and Tesla Time...
I really could use the Champaign supercharger! I can't drive I-74 without it to Indy. I have to go around I-80 (where I live) to I-65 to Indy. Way out of the way.
I just don't think it's fair to say you "can't" drive to Indy without it. I understand if you don't want to give away your exact location, but I'm having a hard time seeing a spot along I-80 that would benefit substantially from the Champaign location.
Even if I stop in Normal I am really NOT comfortable going to the Indy supercharger from there. So I don't!
Not that I know anything, but this would be an excellent place:
Meijer, 2401 N Prospect Ave, Champaign, IL 61822
Nearby: Starbucks, Outback, Ruby Tuesday, Applebee's, Chilis, plus several others
I commented on this and Meijer doesn't know anything about a Tesla Supercharger for the Champaign location. I agree though, it's a good location with easy access from I57 & I74. I have a few Champaign Council Member friends, and one checked for me and said that they didn't have any word yet.
