    Supercharger - Nepean, ON - Robertson Road

    I checked today. Still not operational.

    Supercharger - Perth ON

    I drove out from Ottawa to check it out today. As of 11:00 am, it was not working. I tried two stalls. I suspect it was working recently only for testing purposes. This was the same pattern we saw with the Deep River and North Bay chargers where people reported some sporadic service before they...

    Supercharger - Nepean, ON - Robertson Road

    I saw this on the site today. Don't know how long it has been here but this at least definitely confirms that this will be a Supercharger site.

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Yes, I've seen the latest Plugshare check ins for it so I do realize that people have been using it recently. Nonetheless, I'm not comfortable relying on that to guarantee that it is working when I'll need it, especially since Tesla still has it marked as "Temporary Closure".

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    I'm in the same position, with a road trip I want to take from Ottawa to Kirkland Lake in the next week. North Bay is still marked as "Temporary Closure" on my Model 3 Navigation system. Anyone know how long North Bay has been in this state and if there is any way of pinging Tesla to get more...

    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    Thanks for the quick reply. I had thought writing to SD cards was possible because I had seen this in the change log "Logs are now written to /sdcard/ScanMyTesla/ (App can only get permission to write logs on Android 5.0. Browsing for logs is acting strange in pre-5.0)"

    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    Pardon me if this is a newbie question. I'm coming from an ios background. How do you set up Scan My Tesla to log to an SD card rather than internal storage? I've got a micro SD card in the Android phone my son donated to me, that card is set up as removable storage and the phone can see it, but...

    Canadian CHAdeMO charging

    Agreed re: "correct side". After I left that charging station, a Model S backed into the CHAdeMO side of the charger, ran the cord around the back of his car and had enough room with the added length of the CHAdeMO adapter to reach his charging port.

    Canadian CHAdeMO charging

    I too wasn’t sure how to route the cable. This was my first use of a Petro-Canada charger (Brockville, Ontario). I arrived there with a cold battery and 62% state of charge so I wasn’t surprised that my starting charge rate was 32 KW. The CHAdeMO adapter I believe will only take 50 KW max. I...

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    I recommend getting the access card. The current cost (which I think is what I paid as well) is $CDN 15. The phone app has always worked for me, but the benefit of the access card, especially in remote areas, is that it isn't dependent on internet service being available. Thus it's a good backup...

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Yes you need an app and/or an rfid card. Both are available through FLO (www.flo.com and select the Canadian English or French site). Once you've registered, you put some money into your FLO account through your credit card. I've found FLO to be very handy as it is an umbrella service that...

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Fantastic news. Thanks for posting. Just curious. If you arrived at North Bay with only 10%, does that mean that you didn't charge very much at Deep River. I would have thought that if you got a relatively large charge at Deep River you would arrive in North Bay with a larger state of charge.

    If you are on Plugshare, log this! You might be the first non-corporate Tesla to charge there !!

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    North Bay as shown in my nav system on my M3. As per above posts, it would be great if someone could confirm it is really operational.

    Hi, I do have a CHADEMO adapter. I'd never considered a Quebec oriented route. Thanks for the info.
