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

Mackinaw City Michigan is to receive 3x of 50kW DCFC car chargers in the future. This information was put forward by Hage Automotive who is installing these chargers from the Michigan grant. They are currently planning the site location and will post to Plugshare when it is up and running., They claim a flat rate will be charged to consumers. So disappointed by learning only a 50kW charger is being installed at this famous Michigan City which also features six 250kW Tesla chargers in 2020. I'm assuming Hage is using Juice Box CCS DCFC car chargers which have a max of 50kW. Sad. 65 miles south Gaylord has two CCS 62.5kW chargers via ChargePoint.

Hage is also aware of the UP as a dead DCFC zone and is looking to install chargers at several locations in the future.

It means a long charging stop (over 1 hour) to fill a Mach E. My Wisconsin home is 250 miles from this location.

Hage uses "JuicePump" chargers for their DCFC's:

The specs for the "Enel X JuicePump 50":

Althought that one looks a little different from Hage's picture which is more like this one:

Although I think their use of the nomenclature of "JuicePump" is a little too close to "JuiceBox"...

I’ve been sending messages and requests to the “Big 3” charging networks. With EVGo, I sent in a site request at about 20 cities in northern MI (north of Flint). Maybe they will listen if enough people request? It’s sad that anything new would be anything less than 150Kw. I haven’t heard back from chargepoint (and at least the city of Gaylord installed a set, slow as it may be).

Three 50kW chargers are being installed in Mackinac City via information from Hage automotive. These are capable of bring upgraded to 100kW+ as the agreement with the state of Michigan. Last night I got word that Norway Michigan in the UP is installing a 50kW Chargepoint charger that can slso be upgraded. Something is better than nothing. As for the cost to use these chargers? I would assume similar to what Chargepoint uses.

Usually the location the charger is at sets the price for ChargePoint chargers. Which means typically the people who paid to put it in set the price, not necessarily ChargePoint.

Thus ChargePoint prices are all over the place with no standard "set" price like EA.

Yes, on PlugShare I found two ChargePoint stations with different prices within 5 miles of each other in NJ.

Hage automotive actually stated to me a flat rate for price and then asked what I thought would be far. I told them Tesla charges around 0.28-32 cents per kW and thought 0.35kW would be fair. I do not know if they can charge per kW at this location.

The City of Norway is installing a Chargepoint Express charger which is a 62.5kW unit as found in Gaylord, Michigan.
Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately I don't have any information on your adapter issue however the unit that we are installing is a Chargepoint Express 250. You may be able to find some information from the Chargepoint web site. Also, we do not yet have the project completed but should have installed by the end of the year.

The charger will be a Chargepoint Express 250:

The NUVU Ionia stated posted a reply back to this author indicating a 62.5kW charger is being installed. That is a Chargepoint model which Gaylord has installed and Norway Michigan has ordered.
