Here's a photo of the Golden superchargers taken earlier today (Jan 24th) and sent to me by a relative. They didn't see any Tesla's and don't know if the chargers were operational yet but at least the transformer looks to be in place, which wasn't the case when another pic was posted not too...

A recent article in the Golden paper says that the SC at the Travelodge should be "up and running by the end of the year". This would finally supercharge the drive from Vancouver to Calgary but only if construction at Revelstoke is also complete (I don't think any work has started there yet?)...

Thanks @Hewey. Has a new transformer been installed or appeared on site? Does anyone know if work has begun at Revelstoke, the next SC to the east?

@Hewey, many thanks for posting this! Hopefully work on the Revelstoke SC will also begin soon so eastward travel on Highway 1 will get easier for us. Of course the SC's will also need to be hooked up to power. ;-)

I called the Kamloops Visitor Centre this morning and no construction activity has started yet. No idea whether all the permits have been issued.

The Kamloops council meeting was held this afternoon. The agenda and other info can be found at kamloops.civicweb.net. $1,500/yr seems quite reasonable for the owners the SC will attract.

Based on comments about some new supercharger stations, these may be display screens. See below and http://cleantechnica.com/2014/09/06/tesla-supercharger-stations-stats-screens/

I don't know for sure but hope the Alta Lake Electric crew continues heading east. As of last week no work had begun at the Kamloops Visitor centre, Revelstoke municipal hall hadn't heard anything new (i.e. whether a specific site had been selected) and Golden said things were still in the...

Hi everyone, I crossed the "desert" a little more than a week ago going from Vancouver to Toronto. Montana and Wyoming were of course the challenging spots. Lincoln's charger worked fine and fortunately no-one was using it when I got there. The RV parks are good for charging and if not staying...

Thanks to notice from Gary, I'll be using the Billings SC tomorrow! I'm enroute from Vancouver to Toronto. Thanks also to Vger for his RV charging tips! I.e. at Haugen, MT.

BC Hydro installed what I was told was a new transformer about 50-60 feet to the left of the photo and wires were run under the pavement to where Tesla's boxes are.

When I was there last night I also took the following photo - The contractor is Alta Lake Electric from Whistler and is sadly unlikely to help with SC installations to the east...

The Squamish superchargers will be commissioned by Tesla and Hydro by the end of this week, at least that's what I heard at the service centre today. I just dropped someone off in Squamish so, with apologies to those from the east, here's today's photo.

I went with July as I'm hoping BC will have its first supercharger then. The sign at Squamish has certainly been up for a while. I stopped at city hall once to ask and they said the timing was something to do with BC Hydro approvals. If the one in Toronto East goes up first that's great as I'm...
