Atlantic Canada Superchargers

[Vawlkus]

True, I get that part, but once you are there I was wondering if there were chargers available. To be honest, I'm a bit worried about the drive from Quebec City to Sydney as well. I will be checking out Plug Share to see what there is available, looks like a good app.

Most of the Chademo stations I visited going between Montreal and Halifax had a L2 charger integrated into them, so it shouldn’t be to hard to keep charged up, it just won’t be as fast.

I just returned today from a trip through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I had been a bit worried as well about the charging situation after Riviere-du-Loup, but I was very impressed by the Chademo chargers - especially the excellent network in New Brunswick along the Trans Canada! I never had to wait to charge, and I only delayed one other Tesla driver for 5 minutes as I was finishing up. I'm envious, given the poor results from the Ontario rollout of L2 and L3 chargers over the last few years. Nova Scotia is a bit behind N.B., but my experience there was very good as well.

Yes, NB power has done an outstanding job of getting Chademo/CCS rolled out across the province, but unfortunately it's only a single unit at each location with a J1772 beside it.
It's opened the area up for EVs and we are expecting our X to arrive within the next week or so. Chademo adapter is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday.
However, with this growth, soon enough, there will be lineups regularly at the Chademo locations and I heard that NB power was just told by the EUB they weren't allowed to expand the charger network any further for the time being.

I'm invited to a small focus group for NB Power next week, so hope to hear more when there.

(Was hoping to have the X delivered in the parking lot of the hotel during the meeting just for fun, but they won't get it to me by then.)

Granted it was summer travel season but both times I used one of the new NB chademo chargers there was another car waiting; they had only been open a couple of days.

In the same statement confirming Yamachiche (under construction) will be the second and last Supercharger site to open this year in Quebec, Tesla also mentioned there would be another Atlantic Canada location coming this year. (And Brockville, ON.)

Let the speculation begin!

Brockville already has a confirmed location where as for Atlantic Canada, Enfield?

I can’t think of another likely site in NS. What spots in NB might be this year?

Gotta be Woodstock.

Anything else for the rest of Canada?

Tesla was communicating with owners (who volunteered to help with deliveries) in Montreal, so they didn't have a reason to talk about Supercharger deployment in the West.

Gotta be Woodstock.

Looks like it's Edmundston (permint application). Wouldn't have been my first choice considering it's close to Riviere du Loup and still does fill the gap from Aulac but ah well, we'll take what we can get I guess. It's just a permit application though. Guessing Woodstock could still jump into action?

 

[MarcoRP]

Hope Woodstock does go before but anyway

 

[NoBeard]

Went by the Big Stop in Woodstock this week, no sign of anything I'm sorry to say.
It really is the lynch pin that will connect the other 2 regions to Atlantic Canada. (Are you listening SC planning people??)

 

[MarcoRP]

(Are you listening SC planning people??)

I’ll say no (not like I’m one, totally not)

 

[NoBeard]

LOL, sad but likely true.
Bright side, paid the final payment on the X today, hopefully delivery next week. Now to shed the...

Not really the right time of year to be adding an island, methinks.
Maybe next year, right?

Which Island?

Which Island?

Supercharger island

The language in Tesla's statement leaves room for more than one additional Supercharger in Atlantic Canada this year. It doesn't appear to guarantee more than one, though.
