The address here is 408 S Wright St, Delavan, WI 53115. In the past Kwik Trip has partnered with ZEF Energy, but for these NEVI sites the operator is unknown and so is the equipment. Greenfield The award lists a Tesla Supercharger at 4777 S 27th St, Greenfield, WI 53221. Currently at this address is a Festival Foods. There is an existing Tesla Supercharger about 2 miles away at a Meijer. I am going to guess the address is wrong and the money awarded will go towards upgrading the existing Supercharger location at 5800 W Layton Ave, Greenfield, WI 53220. This will we a Tesla owned and operated site. Milwaukee The Residence Inn by Marriott Milwaukee at 7003 N Port Washington Rd, Milwaukee, WI 53217 will be the host for this awarded site. Operator or CPO is unknown. Equipment is unknown. Sheboygan
The Sleep Inn & Suites at 3912 Motel Rd, Sheboygan, WI 53081 will host this next awarded site. This hotel is right next to a Kwik Trip, so I am not sure why they did not win this location award. Operator or CPO is unknown. Equipment is unknown.
Manitowoc
The Shell gas station at 1701 S 41st St, Manitowoc, WI 54220 is the site awardee for this location. As a Shell branded location this site may be part of the Shell Recharge network, but this is not determined at this time. Equipment is unknown.

Tomah
The truck stop chain Road Ranger will host the site at 102 E Woody St, Tomah, WI 54660. This site was awarded the most money of all 53 sites. At almost $1 million this should be a nice site. Operator or CPO is unknown. Equipment is unknown.

The Culver’s at 620 W Kemp St, Rhinelander, WI 54501 will host this site. The money awarded for this site is the second highest amount.

Armstrong Creek
The Corner Store at 497 US-8, Armstrong Creek, WI 54103, was awarded this site. Looking at this site on Google this in the northern reaches of Wisconsin with likely limited infrastructure. Being isolated this site is very likely to use an onsite battery backup. Installation in the given space should be interesting to follow. Charge Point Operator or installer are unknown. Type of hardware to be installed is unknown.
Chippewa Falls
Part of the 23-site award to Kwik Trip. The address here is 1267 Chippewa Crossing Blvd, Chippewa Falls, WI 54729. This is new location opened within the last year. If they planned for charging in the infrastructure build up, then installing charging here should be relatively easy; which would explain the low award amount for this site.

The Express Mart at 602 S Washington St, Thorp, WI 54771, was awarded this site.
