    Does anyone know if the Kelowna or Merritt supercharger permits are in?

    So now the question becomes, when do the Merritt, and Kelowna Superchargers start construction? The new Calgary and Vancouver ones will go in at the service centre, although Vancouver will need to move to it's new location first. As always, I'll bet the answer is soon!

    As per Tesla, the Hope Supercharger will be operational next week, based on what BC Hydro has told them.

    I took the ferry to the island in August. Stayed at a hotel with a Sun Country Charger. Drove to Port Alberni, and Tofino with no issues at all. You just have to plan for it.

    Tweets with replies by Brian Johnston (@NBrianJohnston) | Twitter I've started tweeting BC Hydro on a regular basis about this. Perhaps if we had a few more people doing the same they might pay attention?

    The easement is not an issue. It costs $50 to apply for an easement and it can be registered same day. I can't see that being the cause. More likely is the electrical load issue discussed above.

    It does seem odd. I just spoke with "Brenda" at the Municipal hall. She says the charger is supposed to be operational mid-November. She wasn't aware of any zoning issues, she says they are just waiting on BC Hydro, and they've been told mid-November is the ETA.

    Spoke to Powertech today. They are not specifically involved in the project, so they wouldn't comment on BC Hydro's date for installation. They say to ask Tesla Motors....who says they are waiting for BC Hydro.

    Canada - How is your Wh/km?

    I've had my S 60 since July, and have 8600 KM under my belt with Wh/KM of 190. Wondering how that will change over a Vancouver winter. It's very mild here so I'm thinking it won't be too bad.

    I have a call in to Powertech. I'll update when I get a response.
