I sent an email and gave them the 3 must haves for north nb, Campbellton, Bathurst and Miramichi.
Got a polite response.
I would be surprised if they installed Superchargers on secondary roads anytime soon in NB, but I could be wrong.
There are 50x, maybe 100x more Teslas in Quebec than in NB and you don't see movement on sites that aren't on major highways there. Some examples of inaction would be Mont-Joli for the Gaspé peninsula, Forestville for the North Coast, and Mont-Laurier for Abitibi.
Heck, even sites on autoroutes that were on the 2017 or 2018 maps are not getting done. Chicoutimi, l'Étape, St-Georges-de-Beauce, La Pocatiere, Ste-Therèse, St-Sauveur, Lachute, Sherbrooke, Lebourgneuf and Gatineau.
Quebec's sales lead will likely remain due to higher population, the highest rebate on EVs in the nation, cheap electricity and the highest percentage of people believing in climate change in Canada. To top it off, Tesla makes additional profit on sales in Quebec thanks to ZEV credits. (Chrysler is a likely buyer of such credits). As of last year, Quebec was the only province to adopt ZEV regulation similar to that in California and ten other States.
So, as long as Tesla doesn't see the need or have the budget to serve many regions of Quebec, I don't see them expanding Supercharger presence in NB.
