Good to know there is something between PG and McBribe. It might be a tight one with a SR in winter to make it without at least a little bit of charging at Slim Creek. Hopefully the Flo works when you need it! Seeing as there is already a Flo that means there is power at that spot so the chance...

Thanks for all your effort keeping us updated on this, Softcoder! Might be a weather related delay? Not the best paving weather time of year. How would you estimate the drive would be between McBribe and Prince George, in winter, in a Model 3 Standard Range, battery wise? Problem is that there...

Brockton Supercharger: six years in the making 2024, construction finally starts. Teslamotorsclub forum users: We need daily updates on the pRoGreSs!! :)

Anyone passing through Manning? Supercharger photos appreciated. :)

I'm just not excited about this one any more. For these reasons: - sorry I don't have a pic, but the building has topped out and they have maybe half the windows in but it will still be a long time, one year perhaps, before this the building will be done - it is in a private building so it may...

It's going to be a little rough for non-Tesla drivers waiting in line for Bc Hydro charger(s) with multiple superchargers open mere meters away... Superchargers will take Teslas out of the BCH lineup at least.

This is a very welcome addition. I found going up hill from Hope to Manning just zipped through the battery %. Present BC Hydro one-car at a time charger is a joke.

Just read this, lol. Answer is TOMORROW!! :) :) Edit: Uh oh, mis-read.. Your cybertruck... well, it launching tomorrow goes a long way to you and everyone actually receiving one so one day soon hopefully!

Petro-Canada station attendant is above Prime Minister in the hierarchy of Canada, so I think it is pretty reliable. :)

Not a quick wait, that's for sure. We've had some long waits for superchargers to open (eg Castlegar, Osoyoos) but nothing like waiting for an entire building to be completed first. On the upside if the render of the finished building and my estimations are to be believed then the wood top of...

So is this a new best location or 3rd best?

Modified above image from ReddyLeaf Great news. Looks to be in the green boxed area judging by the "Clearwater Shopping Centre" sign and Google Street View Google Maps

My guess is another year or so on this one... A bit disappointing that there still aren't any Superchargers in city of Vancouver outside of the two down town. This one is on the way, but it may or may not be 24hrs due to it being in a parking garage, judging on other Supercharger in building...

Did you play BC Supercharger Bingo (A&W, Canadian Tire, etc) ? :)

So now Castlegar has been open for six months and Highway 3 connected, who has had the pleasure of stopping at this one?

This one is making progress, but will be a while yet. Looks like they are on the 5th floor of 7 and then the walls and interior fit out, etc.

Now it's open what are we going to talk about? Recommendations in surrounding area?

Is this a busy station? Just noticed Merritt got third station today. Kamloops also has three. Hope, Revelstoke, Golden and Canmore have two. Salmon Arm is the only town with one station on Hwy 1 route to Calgary.

No but seriously, hurray!! Thank you Tesla and all the partners! Crowsnest Highway #3 is finally connected! Watch out, you might blink and Naksup may be under construction!

Poor Terrebonne, Quebec at 1,256 days in third place (first for Canada). You have to really dig deep and be strong if you're waiting for that one!

Oh well, who wanted to take highway 3 in the winter anyways. lol.

Thanks, X-Men.

Thanks!

supercharge.info Castlegar, BC Status: Construction - 367 days Yay, over one year according to supercharge.info.

Anyone "in the area"? :)

Indeed, their progress updates could be better than "Quarter x, 202x". Should they do better? Imho, they could and they should. Do they have to? Of course not. Will they do better? Based on past and current practices, most likely no. So we wait and wait. I could do Osoyoos to Creston with...

Yes, that is obvious. That doesn't mean their disclosure couldn't be better.

If only there were better disclosure on project status/progress then this consternation would be assuaged..

So what now? Contact city hall? https://www.castlegar.ca/contact/

I also received the same response from Fortis. Highly anticipated!

>We're here to help >If you have questions about electric vehicle charging, or electric charging stations, please contact [email protected] I emailed this Fortis email asking for an update, no response yet. Not sure if "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" or what. If anyone else is thinking about...

worse wait than the one for Osoyoos!

Squamish is BC Hydro, Castlegar is hurry up and wait Fortis. Who is going to call them and complain?

Anyone going to be in the area in September or going through to get updates?

Ok we need hourly updates on this, lol. :D

So true. Tesla must be paying to have the chargers there, can they not get the mall to put up some signs inside the parkade? Basically the supercharger is right under the very south end of where Nordstrom is above, that's the first part. You also have to be on P2 which is definitely not clear...

One meter holding up the whole hwy 3 connection. Come on Fortis!

Anyone been by lately? Again we are looking for the glass faced electrical meter which is/will be installed on the gray panel on the right hand side of the green electrical transformer as per DuckNut12's picture here.

Is the original SuperCharger in Squamish busy a lot? I was surprised by this second one. They need a second one in Whistler that isn't in a pay parking lot, I think!

Waiting on Fortis at this point, I'm assuming. SaskPower more responsive in Prince Albert case or more responsive in general, who knows... Transformer pad has been ready since January, now it is June.. what can we do but twiddle our charging ports as there isn't a second electricity provider. :(

lol I did think of that... but gotta get the construction started news on the new supercharger thread somehow :) hey A, what's your source? B hey B, what's your source? A Don't forget the real source, "buddies girlfriend"!

At Creston Supercharger Fortis mounted the electricity meter directly to the side of the green transformer box there. Hopefully one then the other will appear some day soon in the space HopGuy25 pictured above.

Remember Castlegar is in the Fortis electricity service area so things a bit different than Superchargers in BC Hydro areas. Fortis Service Areas Web Page

Before and after meter install on transformer

Just need the power company and Tesla to flip their switches! Other places Flo has come online before Superchargers, I believe. So we'll have to wait and see here, hopefully not long now!

No transformer and no meter so going to be a bit yet... Check Creston thread for details of the a recently installed meter there (and transformer) if you want to see what they look like, etc. Supercharger - Creston, BC

That likely confirms Hydro/Fortis have done their thing and it is now just waiting on Tesla activation.
