I'll miss the bamboo gardens. I won't miss the long waiting times and the broken stalls which always seemed to be an issue here. There were no alternatives on this stretch of road on my first trip down the I-95 in March 2018 - now there seems to be a Supercharger at every other exit. Time does...

Utterly awesome! Morrisburg and now Brockville so far in 2024 for Eastern Ontario. Next up Renfrew - which made it to the top 5 for Supercharger voting....

Went to a presentation given by the Tesla Supercharger Exec for Ontario in November 2022. Tesla has a corporate culture of extreme secrecy, but the Exec did mention more that once that a lot of attention is being given to the Kingston - Montreal portion of the 401. Since then, Gananoque has...

Agree that a Brockville or Prescott would enable Toronto to Ottawa travelers and it is worth mentioning that it is still on Tesla's Find us webpage with a targeted opening in 2024. Disagree that this is dumb location - very convenient for Toronto - Montreal travelers.

This is very welcome news for travelers on the 401 Corridor between Montreal and Toronto, arguably the most important one in Canada. This allows for bypassing the V2 Supercharger in Cornwall making a quicker trip. Roughly half way between the V3 Supercharger at Gananoque and the V2 at Pointe...

Perfect spot for my Maritime trips! I can bypass Levis, which is a V2, and not get tied up in the traffic. Need to see more of these in Eastern Canada....

Been waiting for this one. Right off the 401 and with a Tim Hortons and Subway within a two-minute walk, just have enough time to grab a coffee and a sandwich and be on my way. While Belleville has a lot more stalls, it's a V2 and a bit of traffic getting in and out.

Unfortunately, I didn't notice. It appeared that the site hadn't been touched for a while, and given its clean appearance, this may well be another case of regulatory bodies taking their time.

Stopped last night on the way home (Stittsville) from YYZ. All that is left is to take off the covers and pull the switch. With the available amenities and the easy on and off from the 401, this will be the mid-trip stop for many travellers on the Ottawa - Toronto route rather than Belleville V2..

Perfect! Plan on using this V3 on my annual March break trip to South Florida coming and going. Now we need a V3 between Scranton and Harrisburg on the I-83.

All Outstanding points! After driving Teslas for over five years, I know readers on this forum are aware of the Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt out there. What has changed in that time, is Electric Cars in general and Teslas, in particular, being a curiosity to becoming mainstream. With the rise...

Used Madoc last weekend going to and from the GTA from my home in the western fringes of Ottawa. This is ideal for my Model S, it knocked about 30-40 mins by avoiding the detour through Peterborough. Just enough time to hit Tims and have a quick bite. On a related note, I can't help but...

Coburg and Madoc Ontario last week to cap off November. All I want from Santa is this puppy open by the Xmas break. My wife may insist that we stop in Watertown anyways when we are heading North because she loves that Olive Garden.

Finally! Going to GTA in the next two weeks and I am going to have one of those Subway sandwiches while I watch my Model S being charged. No doubt my teenage son will go across the street to Mcdonald's. This is right on Highway 7 cutting 30 minutes off the Toronto - Ottawa drive. For those...

Tesla shows it as open on its Website! Supercharger | Tesla

This is very welcome news. This will avoid the V2 at Waterdown when travelling from Ottawa to Florida and return. The experience of these long-distance travels continues to improve by leaps and bounds since my Tesla trip in March 2018

The Tesla Exec in charge of administering Superchargers gave the same answer to all questions relating to Supercharging locations "We can't tell you anything, nor give an estimate when any particular supercharger will go online, but we are working as hard as we can to make it happen" I am sure...

Went to the Tesla Owner's club meeting in Concord Ont on Thurs 17 Nov and raised the issue of Madoc coming online with the head of Tesla Superchargers for Ontario. His reply was that Tesla wanted this online just as much as anyone, however, he was not at liberty to discuss the issues keeping...

Can't wait to use this on my trips to Florida. This will avoid the New State Turnpike which while not expensive is not convenient.

I remember well my days surveying in Burwash Landing and Haines Junction in the early 90's before EVs were even a thing except in some visionaries minds. If Burwash Landing gets a Level 3 or a Supercharger that means there is hope for everyplace in the Western world.

This is very welcome news - it will allow me to bypass the Peterborough Supercharger on my way to the GTA from my home in the far west end of Ottawa. With the 407 now completed all the way to 115, this puts the 7-115-407 as a better route than the 416-401 route for those who live in Kanata...

The Rideau Centre is not the best place to have a supercharger especially 3 levels down that is difficult to get to from the Queensway in traffic due to congestion. This is not the first time that those needing to charge have been locked out - it has closed earlier during the pandemic. What...

This will be awesome for my trips to Florida! A lot of icing going on at the present supercharging in Florence - at least since my last time in pre-Covid times. Right off the I-95 so that will be very very convenient.

Drive Tesla Canada has an article on this. Quickest ever Supercharging construction in Canada! Now for Brockville.... https://driveteslacanada.ca/supercharger/kingston-v3-tesla-supercharger-now-open-ontario/

Wow, this is one of the superchargers that we have been waiting for on our annual trip down the I-81 and I-95. No more Rocky Mount, being paired up at a V2. And a Dunking Donut right there! Next on the list Emporia VA and Frackville PA for V3s?

Yep This thread belongs to the Rideau Centre thread: Supercharger - Ottawa ON I know the majority of people using this location are not passing through on the 417 and are in fact doing exactly what you point out. Through traffic on the 417 will use the Casselman, Bells Corners and Perth...

Normally I wouldn't. I understand why you would ask the question and it is worth asking. The reply below will address that question in detail. However, the Rideau Centre supercharger is the third level down at the Rideau Centre. Five minutes from the time you enter the garage to the time you...

Time for a new Supercharger in Ottawa and decommission the so-called Supercharger in the Rideau Centre. Need one around Fallowfield for those coming in from the South, one in the Stittsville/Carp area for those coming in from the West, and one around St. Laurent and the Queensway for those...

Beautiful night in Bells Corners and we are only ones here!

Im charging!!!

Since you mentioned it, my backup plan was to stop at Smith Falls (there is a site called plugshare.com which I encourage all Tesla drivers to consult in case a supercharger is down and you need to find an alternative). I have driven to Florida three times, NYC twice, Virginia Beach once plus...

I dropped by yesterday at 1230 and talked to the site supervisor. He was very cagey about providing timelines siting confidentially agreements with Tesla. From what I gather from previous posts,this is Tesla's modus operandi, never reveal timelines, my guess they do not want to provide undue...

Perfect - going to Bon Echo this weekend!

Yep westbound on the Queensway heading towards Kanata. i also had the green light to turn left at the intersection at Moodie. All in all 25 seconds: 3:10 vs 2:45. Nothing to worry about in my book. Far, far better for travellers passing through Ottawa to go to the Rideua Centre and then...

Did several timed runs to and from the Queensway. The results should allay the concerns that this is too much of a diversion. All timings are from the Queensway to a dead stop at the SC or vice versa. From Queensway eastbound: 2:13 From Queensway westbound 2:45 From SC to Queensway westbound...

That should read "work at points east of Moodie this is a godsend" since it not that big of a diversion to top up going or coming from work.

This is a really great location. Only a 3-4 mins from the Queensway via Moodie, rd and no left turns when coming that way, not a big diversion at all. Right next to a Tim Hortons (1 min walk) so the coffee and washroom angles are covered. McDonalds across the street and a really good hotel...

Stopped by yesterday, talked to the Hydro rep on site, he thinks it will be open next week. There was a Tesla employee on site checking the installation. He was very involved in his work so I didn't bother him. One thing I am very happy about, the signs clearly indicate Tesla vehicle...

They are here at the Ottawa Service Centre!

Not only customers icing up the superchargers - employees are doing it as well. Yesterday I noticed the same Jeep parked in the supercharger spot as the previous day. Aproached the female Wawa employee who was cleaning up the general supercharger area, told her I was charging my Tesla and...

I originally ordered my car through Montreal even though I live in Ottawa - different province - different sales tax - different incentives. After I did a test drive on one of the Tesla demos - I was told that a delivery specialist would take over the process. Never heard from this individual...

Hi Picked up my Tesla S on 30 Dec 2017. Perhaps the last Tesla delivered in Ontario in 2017 as it was the end of the day and the 31st was a Sunday. If you remembered that was the depth of the coldest cold snap for the entire winter. So guess what my Tesla was not supercharger ready! Tesla...
