- Canada Supercharging
So, for Atlantic Canada Halifax and Truro are out and Aulac and Enfield are in on the new map.
For Enfield, I'll go with the hotel owned by the Germain group at the airport (speculation). The same family is already a Supercharger host at their Baie-St-Paul property.
Aulac would appear to require a new Supercharging partner.

Enfield Irving Big Stop right off the 102 highway. Huge parking lot plus restaurant, Tim Horton's, Burger King and dog park. Hopefully the same for Aulac.
I sure hope so. While Enfield has options there is nothing in Aulac except the Big Stop so if not there then where? I'm just happy they aren't plunking one down in Halifax (at least for the time being) because that would be mostly useless to support long distance travel. I've also heard that a permit was pulled for Lincoln, New Brunswick where there is another huge Big Stop location. My only concern is the weight I will gain eating those massive Big Stop meal portions ;-)
I honestly don’t think that Supercharging at an airport is useful for travelling.
There are Superchargers at airports already and sometimes they are even next to the highway. Examples: Savannah, Denver, JFK.
I agree. That hotel is part of the parking garage structure and ideally you don't want to have to enter a parking garage or have to pay for parking just to charge. There would also be a much higher probability they'd be ICE'd by travellers in a rush who just don't care, especially if they put them outside somewhere. Parking at the Halifax airport is not fun.

The Airport is just off the highway so I would have no concerns there. Would be terrible to have it in the paid parking. However, how about at the gas station or Tim Horton’s heading into the airport or maybe at the Quality Inn? But would really make much more sense further down the highway at the Elmsdale Exit. There is fast food there, the shopping centre and not too far away.... a NS Liquor Commission Store

Based on observation from stateside superchargers, that is likely an indication that construction may already be in progress or at least imminent. The ones with no signs of permitting or construction are still listed as "target opening in 2018/9," while the ones that are under construction list a more specific opening time such as "summer 2018" or "fall 2018."
Holds true in Quebec as well. The only site upgraded to "Summer 2018" (Pointe- Claire) is also the only known current construction site.

Based on history with the Fairview malls, that would have been my guess as well, but in the thread there is mention of a permit for the Big Stop in Lincoln, which is close enough to Moncton for Tesla.
