No worries - my note was more about PetroCan's false advertising than about your comments on itThe post was made “tongue in cheek” Go Tesla. Also, I was humbled a little today when I met a fellow Canuck that has bee driving a Tesla in Canada since 2013. I believe the original Tesla cable issued with every new car was 75 km long.
Shocking an oil companies lying to the public.There was extensive discussion of the falseness of this claim on this thread: Supercharger - Brockville Ontario
The PetroCan marketing department is taking a lot of liberties with reality by making that claim.
Definitely agree with your point. Currently on a 10,000 km road trip. Took 2 days just to lay out a ‘feasible’ route (trying to navigate Toronto to Calgary and back)
The next person who posts this horseshit article is getting a disagree!Maybe this is a sign that shipment of V3 is being done
Tesla is accelerating Supercharger deployment, 10 more V3 stations confirmed - Electrek
Go for it lol It won't change my life. Like or dislikeThe next person who posts this horseshit article is getting a disagree!
Will that allow you to get through Northern Ontario where towns, and Petro-Canada stations, are sparse?Petro Canada electric highway should be done in a year.

No feasible route through Canada yet. It will be through the northern states (both ways) … one day!1
The biggest gap that I see between Petro-Canada stations is between Wawa and Nipigon which is 365km according to Google maps. That would just barely allow my Model S P85D to make it in good weather if there isn't much of an altitude change.According to the map yes. But really I have no idea. I would think a minimum range of 300 km would be prudent as well.
The north shore Lake Superior drive is altitude changes up and down all over the place - that's the Canadian Shield, and the Trans-Canada Highway is blasted through a seemingly never-ending sequence of rock cuts.The biggest gap that I see between Petro-Canada stations is between Wawa and Nipigon which is 365km according to Google maps.

Hydro One is installing a station in Marathon that will bridge the gap. I have made a map of all the NR Can funded stations here NR Can Phase 2 You can filter by station owner.The biggest gap that I see between Petro-Canada stations is between Wawa and Nipigon which is 365km according to Google maps.

Except there's no reason for those cars to restrict their charging to solely Petro-Can stations and there are others also building stations as part of the program that will bridge the gaps or provide other options. I haven't seen the ads or marketing in question but I doubt Petro-Can is claiming that EV could cross the country exclusively on their chargers. Just that their stations are supporting and enabling cross country EV travel on TCH.As an aside, this is exactly what I was worried about with Petro-Canada claiming Coast-to-Coast coverage - no native-CCS/CHAdeMO car (read: not Teslas with adapters) can make that gap in winter without recharging (and possibly not even in summer!), and people that attempt that drive without properly researching it will discover it around White River and blame EVs rather than Petro-Canada's false marketing.
If that's true, then I would definitely have no disagreement with that statement and phrasing. Looking at EV Fast Charge car charging stations, here's what they say at the top:Except there's no reason for those cars to restrict their charging to solely Petro-Can stations and there are others also building stations as part of the program that will bridge the gaps or provide other options.

Just watched a commercial by Petro Canada that indicates you can now drive coast to coast in Canada using their EV charging network.
