For anyone that is interested, I purchased a CHAdeMO adapter from the Mississauga Service Centre this past Friday. They have a few in stock.
They have adjusted the price recently to $602 CDN + tax.

Interesting I just pick up someone at YYZ but didn’t see it in the cell lot.
Probably hard to see in the night but definitely checkout next time when I’m there

Just checked my receipt. Got my ChaDeMo adapter in 2015 for $450.00 US plus shipping of $44.14. Back in the good old days when the Canadian Dollar was higher than today too.
There's a summary of CHAdeMO/CCS currently receiving Federal aid.

Most are in Ontario. In a vacuum, the locations aren't bad, but considering the Ontario government has already installed a dozen units in Mississauga, I'm not sure why Ottawa needs fund five more there. Unfortunately, whoever said it would be a problem getting power to OnRoute sites was right. Of the 25 Canadian Tire Gas+ locations,getting CHAdeMO, none are OnRoutes.
Also, you will see that the funding for two hydrogen stations ($1,650,000) is almost as much as for 42 CHAdeMO. I am not sure when this page was last updated, but the project for ten stations in Nova Scotia doesn't show up yet.

So Honda Canada gets funding for a B.S. Hydrogen refueling station at their location?
Let them pay for their own B.S. Hydrogen refueling stations!!!
The program I linked to is strictly Federal. Am I to understand that the province is also paying for the hydrogen stations on top of the $1,625,000 wasted by Ottawa?

During a recently 5 hour trip from Grande Prairie , AB from Edmonton, there was lots of time to think about the possibility of having a CHAdeMO charge station located at the half point to make the trip less time consuming with the Model X or S.
I see from Plugshare that there are at least a few owners who make this trip on a regular basis but need to spend significant time at the 80 amp (16kW) J1772 station in Valleyview.
Unfortunately due to time constraints I made this trip with a truck ( F-150 truck - Cost : 12.9 litres / 100 km @$1.10 / litre @ 920 km = $130.00 )
Does anyone have experience with installation of a privately funded CHAdeMO station ( cost, power requirements, operating costs , 50 kW output ).
I'm sure the business case would be weak for a company like FLO that recently installed a station at the Simons store in Edmonton but perhaps I'm wrong.

Fox Creek would be the logical half way location. Maybe a generator support mobile charge station is a temporary solution.
Thoughts ?

Though the station in Edmonton is on the FLO network, afaik Simons picked up the entire tab under its budget for green initiatives.
Now they are making the EV route possible from Calgary to Edmonton by adding fast charge locations at Canadian Tire Gas stations in Calgary, Red Deer, and Edmonton
Recent update of the NRC alternative fuels site. First, most of the funding is for hydrogen or natural gas stations. I would be interested in knowing how much of it will involve shale gas (obtained from fracking). Note, the site says in construction for planned sites, whether or not work has actually started.
The new locations where there isn't yet any Supercharging are all in New Brunswick.
Nine sites on top of the ten that were installed on the Trans-Canada highway last Summer

Earlier in the year, funding was also confirmed for ten locations in Nova Scotia, but the cities haven't been revealed yet.

That’s great. Means NB will be well covered by DC fast chargers! Here’s hoping the NS ones will be built by next summer for my annual summer trip. The NB one right at the border with NS in Aulac is especially well sited if the NS ones are not done in time for summer. Of course, if the slated Tesla Superchargers get built in NB in the meantime, all the better.
Three more Chademo/CCS combos showed up ion plugshare n the BC est interiour in the last two weeks. 10 more to go over the summer apparently. That would be 43 total in BC. They are also adding 40 more level 2's in the kootenays in the next year. Slowly but surely.

NB Power is exceeding expectations. When they inaugurated the ten original units in July, they announced five further CHAdeMO for 2018. Now it turns out to be nine more and they're not waiting until next Summer for all of them. Miramichi is online. Not yet on plugshare, but visible on the FLO and partner maps.
Excellent, the one in Miranichi will be helpful for the drag races there next summer.
