Supercharger - Collinsville, IL

[MarcoRP]

Hat tip to @jvonbokel for finding a new Supercharger in Collinsville Illinois.

On May 14th, the Collinsville Planning Commission approved the site plans for the installation of a Tesla Supercharger on the south corner of the Casey’s Gas Station at 217 N Bluff Rd.

I’ve been able to find the video of the meeting along with an agenda and the staff report, which contains all the specifics for the Supercharger. 8 V3 stalls. Will add on Supercharge Info!

The Supercharge.info for this Supercharger are a bit weird.
Did you re-use an existing Supercharger ID?

Yep.

 

[Chuq]

Yep.

Why? It makes a real mess of the data and the change history.

Yeah, it does, but Keith’s been off for so long that irrelevant sites are just piling up with no one to delete them, so I thought I’d “recycle” a few

Anyone who has ever worked with databases will tell you that reusing IDs is a bad idea. It will create unintended consequences that will be much harder to deal with than the original issue.

@BlueShift has since removed the location from Supercharge Info. I’m adding it again, but now with a clean slate.

I live quite close to Collinsville. I'll plan on driving up there every week or two to keep everyone updated.

 

[ratsbew]

I just watched the city council meeting. The whole council seemed very interested in Tesla.....this company is going places.

 

[ratsbew]

I stopped by the Casey's location on 2 July and there are no signs of any construction activity yet.

 

[TomServo]

Sure seems like new SC construction has slowed down.

 

[ratsbew]

Yeah, I'm really hoping that Collinsville and Hannibal get finished before winter. It would be nice to have a local V3 Supercharger just so that I can see what 250kW charging is like.

 

[ratsbew]

I drove past today and there is still zero evidence of progress. Very sad.

 

[TomServo]

seems like the construction of new Superchargers has slowed down some.

 

[ratsbew]

Just stopped by today again....nothing.

 

[TomServo]

and I'm seeing SCer's pop up with a PERMIT in Calif and construction starts within weeks. The midwest is still lagging. Guess not many folks actually make cross-country trips after all.

 

[majordouble]

I need to make a trip to Collinsville to check for progress... does anyone have an update?

 

[ratsbew]

I drove past today. Didn't see any changes.

 

[ratsbew]

Drove past again today...no changes.
