They're 50 kW Tritium Veefil RTs. Already installed and live in Jackson and Elk Rapids.
Well, something is better than nothing. We all known 50kW is slow for 2021 and moving forward. The UP of Michigan is in desperate need of DCFC CCS chargers. Heck, Tesla doesn't even have one Supercharger in the UP.
Agreed. I'll take a 50 kW in the UP any day. If these guys come to the UP this year they'll be my new heroes. Marquette and Houghton, preferably. One wouldn't go amiss in Sault Ste Marie either.
that's Fake News because there as some people on here will insist, there are Superchargers EVERYWHERE and absolutely no empty spaces or empty states (hi Bill) or anything - the network is perfect and has absolutely no issues.
Red E Charge.com now has a map of the specific locations in the UP and Michigan. How long before any of these open is unknown.
Marquette is on line. Esky is soon to be on line and the chargers at the Soo Locks are to come on line later this summer.
EGLE has approved a grant for Mackinaw City, but I don' t have details.
No update from Hage Automotive facebook site. The recent Tesla news that they will open their SuperChargers to "other" automobiles needs to be monitored. No real details yet. Not known if the "opened" Superchargers will operate at 120+kW rates for other autos. These 50kW ReCharge charges are better than nothing but going to "old" if anyone has access to the Supercharger network at 120+kW rates.
Agreed. I would not build near a supercharger right now. But Tesla has nothing existing or planned north of I-29 or in the UP, except Marquette, Escanaba and Soo. The only threat I could see is if the $7.5bn infrastructure spending were opened to bidding, and Tesla decided to triple their network. Note that EA has only spent $1.3bn so far, so $7.5bn is..." well, more chargers than YOU can imagine!" (star wars quote)
"I can imagine quite a bit!"
What we sometimes forget and using Michigan's rollout of EV chargers, the politicians may not know the difference between a 50kW or 150kW charger. A charger is a charger in their mind. Spending a ton of money on EV chargers that are not adequate for the future is another waste of money.
