It appears that Efficiency Maine is going to get the Tesla version 2 Superchargers in Augusta, Maine, upgraded to be both NACS and CCS1. It's the capital of the state, but for about a year, it had no functioning DCFC options, since the local EVgo kept having issues (damaged pins, whiffs of electronics burning). We have an expensive Hyundai dealership DCFC, and EVgo may have replaced their single DCFC station, but we are hoping the upgrade to the Tesla Superchargers will be upgrading to magic docks, both for faster speeds for the Teslas who go there, and the CCS1 access for the other EVs. I hope more rural version 2 superchargers get replaced with magic docks as well, especially in areas that are popular throughways for distance travel.Unfortunately it seems like it's more urban stations and fewer rural ones that are the V3's, in the small sampling I've done. I don't care about urban DCFC. That's a waste of resources to me. I need them on road trip routes. And the place I REALLY need an SC backup to a bad EA station is Green River UT. No DCFC for 100 miles either direction on I-70. But figures, the SC station there is only V2.
