Excellent we will add them to the map. Good luck with your new venture.

Glad to hear this - BUT

Why put chargers in these metro areas that already have superchargers?

We need chargers in the “charger desert” of north Michigan.

There’s no NACS supercharger that can do over 150kw between Flint and Mackinaw. The ones that are available are V2 and frequently limited to 75kw due to overcrowding.

Feel free to notify your CEO/COO. There’s a huge market for this for large profits for any charging company.

Welcome to the community!

“Large profits” are highly dependent on the commercial electric rates for the chosen location. As we’ve seen with other recent Supercharger for Business sites, some site owners are struggling with the high cost of demand charges. I suspect that a highly traveled metro area would yield better financial results than a rural route that might have bigger seasonal traffic variations.

This is great to see! I think dispersed metro charging locations will significantly help with EV adoption. Several of the Superchargers in this area are V2 and don’t support non-Tesla EVs.

Thanks for letting us know, I travel up north regularly :slight_smile: and have personally sat and waited at those same slow chargers. We are working on it!

Added now. Looks like we already had an old planning pin for the Detroit location that probably was abandoned by Tesla that you took over.
