I noticed today that the Tesla app shows charging fees as per kWh now. Most of the ones in the GTA are 0.47-0.48 cents per kWh. I was planning a trip the other day, looking at the cost of supercharging along the way and I'm sure it was still per min. Can anyone confirm the change?

Canadian Superchargers now charge per kWh

Indeed. I wish Tesla will implement the discounted non-peak & overnight rate like some US cities.
Someone on a Facebook group I follow made a graph that shows the price per kWh of Tesla and Circuit Electrique (in Quebec) based on the power you're pulling. Credit to that person, not me, but I don't know if I should name there here not knowing if they are on this forum. This was when there were 4 pricing steps per minute:
In the higher power range, 48c is lower than the average you'd pay in your charging session before. It's when charging at lower than 60kW that we now pay more. Maybe that will incite people to stop charging when they reach 70-80% SOC
EDIT: Yes, Circuit Electrique went bonkers and added a boatload of per-minute prices depending on the power range. They're trying to approximate a line I guess, which they could do with per kWh pricing ...

I was wondering why the sawtooth pricing scheme, but your line about not allowing per kWh pricing explains it. Very interesting graphs. Thanks!
So on Monday I used a V3 SC in Kelowna and added 62% to the car (17-80). That cost me $20.29 under the old pricing structure.
Today I used the V3 SC in Nanaimo ($0.47/kWh) and added 63% to the car (7-70). That cost me a whopping $24.87.
So this is not an improvement but rather an almost 25% increase in cost to charge.

It is $0.47/kWh at Nanaimo SC where I just charged. Maybe some as screenshot shows above are 0.29 but not here.
Checking more sites it seems only Vancouver is "cheap". As soon as you get to Chilliwak and beyond it is $0.45-0.48 at all ones I checked. Victoria is 29c but those are urban 72kW chargers only.

That's a really good price. According to this article, price is $0.47 to $0.48 per kWh in all provinces for most v2 and v3 superchargers.

Via the Tesla App. Go to the location section and you can click on any SC on the map and it tells you the price.

I just did a trip through Minnesota and most super chargers were 0.35 - 0.40 per kw. Assuming that's USD that's about 0.45-0.52/kw Canadian.
That being said I did a trip across Northern Ontario last weekend and upsala, Ignace, dryden were all still charging $0.32-$1.07/minute.

If anyone is curious, this is what a typical Power bill for a Tesla supercharger is structured.

Wow, If you peak at 250kW that could be 100 USD per charge.
