Fast (level 3) chargers in northern parts of lower Michigan, the UP of Michigan, northern Wisconsin do not exist.

I'm not so sure most L3 stops are for 30kW of energy. 30kW would mean about 75 miles of driving (30kW times 2.5 miles per kW range) on the interstate. Stopping every 1 hour/1 hour 10 minutes for a refill isn't going to help EV sales in regards to road tripping. 150kW charger will provide -50kW?- in the same time frame, meaning one could travel nearly 2 hours on this refill while road tripping on the interstate. Then again, 62.5kW charger is better than an Level 2 and better than nothing. for the CCS network.

Unless you don't plan to take it far from home. Like someone in a 2-car household.

Work started in Norway? Utility work going on at 6th aVe and Main St which is just one block south of US-2, a major east-west traveled highway. Location is at a hardware stare. Source: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/thr...irst-fast-dc-charger-but.202609/#post-5047467

Would have been nice to have this week - I'm on a trip across the UP at the moment, definitely hard with no fast charging infrastructure (and barely any slow charging infrastructure) up here.

Tesla announced a supercharger location in 2018 for Escanaba, Mi at the Meijer location but haven't done a thing since. Marquette is another supercharger location awaiting for Telsla to do something other than announce its future location.

Yup. No progress on either.

And the City of Houghton is now no longer allowing EVs to use the 2 NEMA 14-50 outlets in their waterfront park, so Houghton is down to just 1 single J1772 charger that also happens is in a lot that prohibits overnight parking (and therefore overnight charges) from November-April.

A lot more needs to be done for EV infrastructure up here.
