If it’s “swift current” it better be 500kW :cool:

If I recall correctly there were plans to do exactly that but they were scrapped by the Ford government

So these votes actually impact anything or are they just publicity stunts? I think it’s the latter in which case “Newfoundland getting a supercharger” is overselling the results.

Sadly doesn’t mean anything.

I've said it before here and will repeat it again. Two exits further East from Brockville is the Prescott exit with a Canadian Tire right off the highway, and a handful of fast food restaurants. Plus it's only one exit away from the border crossing to Ogdensburg. IMHO this is a better location...

That's a tale made up by school teachers who are exhausted from shenanigans by noon.

I'll trust the answer on this from anyone from Wisconsin.

Status now is fully operational. Must have been a glitch.

The chargers look like V3 (250kW)

Were the green utility transformer and meter installed?

The first picture is missing the item from the second picture. And that can take a while. One of these days I'm going to write a pinned post about what to look for when taking pictures of a site under construction...

I 100% agree with this. Although there wouldn’t be as many amenities as there would be in Brockville, a Prescott location would better serve traffic coming across the border from Ogdensburg. There’s a Canadian Tire parking lot right off the 401 in Prescott with a McDonalds and a single CE L3...

I received the definitive answer from Flo. The chargers are owned by the school board (whose parking lot they’re in) but managed by Flo. Private owners can choose to have the chargers not show up in the app even if the charger is available to the public - as it is in this case.

No, these chargers don't show up on the Flo app either. They seem to be forgotten about.

Use the A Better Route planner app or web site. It’ll plan the entire route for you and shows you the charging times and costs along the route. Montreal to Orlando is an easy trip for charging.

A couple new Flo l2 stations were installed near me a couple months ago but weren’t in Plugshare so I dutifully added them. It lasted a couple days and was removed. Are Flo stations only allowed to be added by Flo (like Tesla supercharges?). If so, And any idea why they wouldn’t add a charger...

You may want to leave another note that points out the fines for how they’re parking along with the text from the provincial law on EV parking.

Installed by the same company that built the Olympic Stadium in Montreal.

Gah-nah-naw-kway

Still not seeing a transformer.

That's what converts the utility provider's service into the voltage and amperage the supercharger needs. No it’s never in the white cabinet. It’s much larger and purpose built and installed by the local electric utility, not Tesla.

Sadly Renfrew, ON isn't one of the options :-(

I don’t see a transformer in that picture.

It didn't make sense to only add them in Wynyard... it makes for a dead-end on 16. To fully fill out 16 you'd need at least Yorkton and Russell. Maybe Neepawa. I have someone in Russell keeping an eye out for construction. There's a Co-op store planned for Russell in the near future.. maybe...

Building out the Yelllwhead highway - the second most important interprovincial highway route across western Canada. This will fill in a gap between Winnipeg and Saskatoon.

Agreed. This will save a good 30 minutes by not having to drive into and through P-Boro.

Don't try to take any Kinder Surprise eggs back with you.

Mabye they just swapped the pedestals between the two sites (RdL and Laval). If RdL was only giving out 50kW, why go to all the bother of having 150kW pedestals.

I drove through but totally forgot to stop.

All 12 plus the new four.

I plan to charge in P-Boro tomorrow morning.. will take some pictues.

I did the Cabot Trail in an SR+. Took some patience and planning but it was do-able. It was an awesome experience seeing the range go up as I went down the hills.

If it does get busy (which I'm not sure it will), when/if Brockville opens it will take up a bunch of the demand.

I did 2 weeks in Cape Breton a year ago. Required patience and flexibility. Very few hotels with any type of chargers. The single Flo Chademo charger was always busy. But out on the Cabot Trail, there are destination chargers are many of the main hiking trail parking lots.

Do you have your J1772 adapter with you? Plugshare shows a charger in Shelburne that you can use right there. You'll just have to wait a while. If not, how much charge do you have? Again, Plugshare shows Tesla destination chargers in a handful of spots not too far away: East Kemptville...

I haven't spent a lot of time in the area, but the Irving seemed like the most promising location. The only other place that came close was the Alexander Bell Centre, but it's way off the highway and already has destination chargers. The Flo L3 always had a lineup.

With online gambling now legal in Ontario, perhaps we need an Odds column in these lists. Brockville is probably a 1000-1 long shot.

It's really too bad that Baddeck was removed from the list.

Napanee’s town slogan is “Greater for many reasons”. They now have one more.

Yes, but there’s now a site plan application which shows actual progress

Apparently The Montreal river power station feeds directly into the high powered grid and doesnt provide a lot of power to the local area. The local grid isn’t built to handle superchargers. At least that was what was discussed a few years ago when Batchewana Bay disappeared from the...

There was supposed to be one in Batchewana Bay but they didn't have enough power available (despite being 50km from a huge hydro generation station at Montreal River), but they did install free destination chargers. It's also a long haul for ICE cars as well... there's signs warning of no gas...

There are also Flo chargers in Stellarton the way if you can get a Chademo adapter. Although any time I've been through there, there was a lineup to use it.

Thanks for that info! When you say the CCS Stations weren't functioning, could you tell if they were totally not working, or just not working with the CCS adapter? And what kinds of charging speeds did you get with CCS?

I haven't seen anyone confirm that this is indeed Goderich. It looks like Huron County landscape (I grew up not too far from Goderich) but if you look at Google Maps Sat view, there isn't any agricultural land around the Canadian Tire - and this looks like farm fields beside the SC.

I needed Flo to make it

I agree. Short of putting them on the shoulder of the highway, that's as good as you'll get in Kemptville. Coming off the 416 the only place to go is onto the roundabout, and the SuperChargers are right off the roundabout in the CT parking lot.
