With the charger not being in a recessed bay, I could have parked sideways backing up to the ChaDEMO side and not blocked anyone/anything - now I know. What I found interesting was the angular tug of the cable and adapter disrupted the fully inserted Tesla plug end enough that it felt the device was not fully inserted. I assume the skew meant the connection on the DC pins was incomplete enough to trigger the failure.

Yes, thanks. I see I shouldn't have backed in so far - the way your vehicle is places, the adapter pulls almost straight down, not at an angle. That seems to make a difference.
I noticed on the Petro-Canada charging pedestal screen posted by MD-2000 it had an advertisement for A&W. I wonder if Petro-Canada is going to offset some of the cost of charging by selling ads on the screen. It makes sense that if they could sell enough ads, the cost of charging should be lower for the consumer.
A bunch of the Petro-Canada locations across the prairies have A&Ws attached or inside, so that makes a really good advertising partner. Especially for the sites that have both a charger and an A&W on premises.
Could be that part of the deal to secure the charging stations there was that it included the ads. In which case, it's not that they'd be offsetting the cost of charging, but rather helping to make it possible in the first place.
Coming Soon to Newfoundland. A new pilot project is underway to install Flo fast charger along the T-Can in Newfoundland. To follow...
Looks like more than a pilot project. Note that the article mentions 14 sites, but only 10 are identified so far on plugshare. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newf...hicle-charging-network-newfoundland-1.5334972

I think plans to allow cars on that ferry have been postponed or cancelled.
Here is the request that went out for potential hosts.

I don’t since when these have been installed, but there are 3 functional Flo DCFCs in the Yukon, two of which are in Whitehorse and one is in Carcross.
It doesn't appear to be in service and knowing Hydro-QC it might not be connected until Spring.

Looks like they were in the works since the Spring.

Brockville Petro Canada shows $ amounts per charge/session on the display while it's "free" currently.
The last two weekend's charges equates to about $0.33/minute of DCFC (50kW) CHADeMo (Model 3).
I checked the amount of time vs kW charged at other Petro Canada stations that do not show the $/session and it matches the $0.33/minute average.
Pretty sure it'll be different if I had an EV capable of the 350kW CCS or 100kW CHADeMo?
