    Supercharger - Aulds Cove, NS

    This is a shot of the Petro Canada in Auld's Cove. Not a lot of room to shoehorn in some Superchargers unless the lot was expanded somehow. This is a shot of the Irving Big Stop in Auld's Cove a short distance south east of the Petro Canada.. More room to possibly install Super Chargers. I'd...

    Atlantic Canada Superchargers

    Also Baddeck, and/or Sydney, if we are really serious.

    Atlantic Canada Superchargers

    I just watched a video by a well known Youtuber that was about v.4 Superchargers and many of the shots showed installs with this type of orientation. So like others have stated, this does appear to be common enough. Just never noticed them in eastern Canada or NE states in the few places I've...

    Atlantic Canada Superchargers

    I believe you are correct. I took another look (picture posted Oct 29; lot paved; lines painted) and they appear to be to the left side of the parking slot, like most every other SC site. It's the perpendicular mounting that I found odd. That would mean the cable would need to be bent 90...

    Atlantic Canada Superchargers

    I have no information as to whether these sites will be open to all EVs, not just Teslas, but it seems to me that making a change that accommodates some other brands charge port location to the detriment of Teslas is far from optimum. It's folly. Having said that, I don't really see how it...

    Atlantic Canada Superchargers

    I don't know but they don't appear to look like V4s I've seen. Even still, I don't see how that orientation works. They appear to be mounted in the middle of the parking slot, which means in the middle of the car when you back in. Assuming Tesla, the cable would have to be bent very awkwardly...

    Atlantic Canada Superchargers

    Is it just me or is there something different (wrong?) about the two installations of Superchargers in Digby and Yarmouth, NS? I don't have photos to post, but if you go on Plugshare for those two new sites, you will see some pics people have added of the chargers under construction. Notice...

    Atlantic Canada Superchargers

    PlugShare shows a SC location at the Irving/Circle K off exit 21 (Westville) on Hwy 104 and has it labeled as a “proposed location”. It’s been there for awhile. But the Tesla SC app doesn’t show it. Is this just someone’s wishful thinking or is there some truth to it? When a SC location is...

    Thank You! No. It was through a local dealer that deals only in EVs.

    Atlantic Canada Superchargers

    That's what I think also. There has to be something else in play here we don't see. To me Auld's Cove would be the best location if only one can be done. With Auld's Cove on line then no Westville/Stellarton or Baddeck/CB could be tolerated. It would fill in a big gap. Ideally all of them...

    Atlantic Canada Superchargers

    My thoughts exactly. The demand is there, especially in the summer. When I had my Ioniq the last few years I would dread seeing anyone at the Stellarton Flo charger (can't bypass any chargers in a 28 kwh Ioniq ;)) especially a Tesla. Could be there for hours. Always wished the Teslas had...

    Hello everyone! Just recently bought a used 2021 Model Y Performance with ~20,000 kms on it. Haven't driven it too much yet because I'm waiting to get paint protection and to put winter wheels on it this weekend. Previously owned an original Ioniq (28kwh) and a Chevy Bolt. Both great little...
