    Supercharger - Golden, BC - Trans-Canada Highway

    I looked at this Supercharger on August the 3rd (sorry, no photo!). There's a meter installed now but (on the 3rd) the stalls hadn't been commissioned yet. Also, the fences have been removed. Hopefully not too much longer!🤞

    Supercharger - Merritt BC - De Wolf Way

    Yes, you’re correct about the BC Hydro pad. Also, there are 8 stalls at this location: the 7 you can see in the photo plus one behind where I was standing.

    Supercharger - Merritt BC - De Wolf Way

    I was in Merritt on Friday. Looks like it’s almost ready to go: just needs a meter installed and maybe some asphalt laid.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Thanks! What’s the orange thing used for?
  5. richteer

    CCS - buy now or wait?

    Yup. I think the real problem wasn’t so much with the physical connector but with figuring out terms for 3rd parties to use the Superchargers themselves. Understandably, Tesla wanted licensees to contribute to the cost of running the Supercharger network. I think THAT’S where the holdup was.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Has anyone tried the official shipped from Tesla North America CCS adapter in the case from Harum (this one: Tesla Model 3/Y SEXY BAG CCS Combo 1 Adapter Case I’m sure it’s a perfect fit but would like some confirmation from someone who’s actually tried before I order.

    Yeah! Where the old info centre was would’ve been ideal.

    Supercharger - Merritt BC - De Wolf Way

    The Tesla person that I spoke to said that they did have two sets of Valets, one for each Supercharger.

    Supercharger - Merritt BC - De Wolf Way

    Hope already has a 3rd set (if you include the recent expansion of the Klassen Road Supercharger). I was in Merritt on BC Day and there was a queue. The place was pretty so busy; so much so that Tesla hired some peeps to manage the queuing situation. Agreed, though, some more north *and west)...

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    I hope you're right...

    Supercharger - Merritt BC - De Wolf Way

    The photo on Drive Tesla Canada shows 6 stalls (photo credit to Tyler Jensen), so it's at least that many:

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    Respectfully disagree. If one person does it and gets away with it, it potentially opens the floodgates to more abuse. I've been to Klassen Road several times: there are a LOT of parking places that don't block the chargers. Shaming is absolutely fair game in this instance, IMHO.

    Supercharger - Squamish, BC - Commercial Way

    Nice! Not quite as cool as your first, but my photo was the first one for this Supercharger.😃

    Western Canada Superchargers

    I know this might not help much, but if a Current Taxi is blocking a Supercharger, they’ll move if asked. I’m friends with one of their drivers. That‘s not cool about the destination chargers, though! They’re supposed to be for everyone’s use!

    Supercharger - Burnaby, BC

    Yes! I was there on Sunday and noticed that too. Must’ve been installed by a Leftie!😝
  17. richteer

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    Can confirm the new stalls are up and running: charging here right now!
  18. richteer

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    All Superchargers here are currently out of service to facilitate the construction of the additional stalls.

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    I'll be charging here this coming Friday night and will post an update then! There's a Tesla Owners Club meetup at the Chilliwack Supercharger on Saturday between 12:00 and 16:00; come and say hi!
  20. richteer

    Supercharger - Creston, BC

    Well that was quick! Hopefully it'll be commissioned and online soon!🤞

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    Not necessarily at the same time, but yeah, I've seen both chargers being full. Last Canada Day (just before the 12 Klassen Road ones opened) was a nightmare at the downtown location!
  22. richteer

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    My understanding is that some of the new chargers will extend onto the other side of the exit gap.

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    A fellow member of the Tesla Owners Club of BC was there yesterday and saw the crew working there. Will try to post pics/video (alas, he shot vertical video:mad:).

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    Got a scoop for ya, @MarcoRP: right now, Tesla are adding another 12 Superchargers to this location!

    Supercharger - Creston, BC

    Alas, no meter yet but the look of it (2nd photo). Soon, hopefully!

    BC Hydro charging network, CCS, and the SETEC adaptor

    Are you a paid member of the official Tesla Owners Club of BC? If so, you might be able to borrow ours (the club’s), subject to availability.

    Woo hoo! Photos please, or it didn’t happen. 😃

    BC Hydro charging network, CCS, and the SETEC adaptor

    Let's hope that "soon" isn't the new "two weeks"!

    Supercharger - Chilliwack, BC

    Looks like construction has started! Chilliwack Tesla Supercharger under construction [British Columbia] Time for a construction cone on the map, @MarcoRP?

    Supercharger - Osoyoos, BC

    Is this enough for a traffic cone and status change to “Under construction”, @MarcoRP?

    Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

    The meet-up was on Saturday, and it went very well! I think we had about 30 attendees in total (not all at the same time), including a bunch of us from the Okanagan.

    Supercharger - Merritt, BC

    Can one of the mods please link the “Discuss” option on the map page to this thread rather than the Western Canada one? @MarcoRP

    Supercharger - Merritt, BC

    I visited the new Supercharger location today. There’s a green transformer there now, but still no meter. 😞

    Western Canada Superchargers

    Agreed, and throw Valemount in there for good measure too!

    Western Canada Superchargers

    I live in Glenmore. I’d heard how accurate Tesla’s range estimation was, so I was prepared to trust it. I didn’t care how low the charge was when I got home because I have a wall charger at home and I didn’t need the car until the next day. 😃 I think I was on 97% when I left Hope.

    Western Canada Superchargers

    I've driven from Hope to Kelowna (where I live) in my SR+ without charging in Merritt. This was in mid-late September, so not ideal conditions. Granted, I arrived at my house 3% charge remaining, exactly as the car predicted! While not hypermiling, I did slow down a bit on the Connector. Hooray...

    Supercharger - Invermere, BC

    Hmm, good point. The junction of Hwy 95 and 93 would be a more logical choice. 🤔
  39. richteer

    Supercharger - Osoyoos, BC

    My guess would be the City of Osoyoos dragging their feet.

    Supercharger - Invermere, BC

    Yup, a couple of refreshes is what it took.

    Supercharger - Invermere, BC

    Sounds like enough confirmation for a blue dot, yes?

    Supercharger - West Kelowna, BC

    I planned to post this photo on Sunday. It’s from Saturday while charging at 140 kW. It’s definitely working! 👍🏻

    Supercharger - West Kelowna, BC

    We visited this Supercharger again yesterday. Looks like it’s ready to go once the juice is turned on!

    Supercharger - West Kelowna, BC

    Typical ICEholes, eh?! Sounds like it won't be much longer, although I'm most waiting for Osoyoos.

    Supercharger - West Kelowna, BC

    I had a look at the West Kelowna Supercharger's progress on Monday (December 21st). It's looking good!

    Supercharger - Forks, WA

    I was in Forks earlier today. Still no power (or street light), so had to use the Level 2 charger for a top up to get to Aberdeen.
  47. richteer

    Supercharger - Forks, WA

    I'll be travelling through Forks this coming Monday, so I'll post an update then (if no one else does!).

    Supercharger - Jasper, AB

    Yes, although Valemont is more logical purely on a convenience on the roads basis, Valemont is definitely the better choice from a practical point of view.

    Supercharger - Castlegar, BC

    Good to know, thanks!

    Supercharger - Castlegar, BC

    I forgot to add: a Supercharger in Radium (at the confluence of Hwy 95 and Hwy 93) would also be very welcome.
