Where is the info on it being located in Belleville? Have always heard it will be closer to Kingston in the Odessa area. But I don't have any data on that, either!

They haven't really said, but the dot seems to have migrated a bit on the supercharger map. Originally it looked like it was in the Odessa area, but now it looks more like Brockville or the 416/401 interchange.

Yeah, it does look like more of a Brockville AND Belleville/Trenton situation now. Nice eye...

There is a move afoot to get a Supercharger in Toronto near the DVP and 401. Not sure I should say any more...
Having one at the service center/store would make lots of sense. I just hope it would be readily available to road trippers and not just filled up with locals getting free juice.
LOL. I don't think they ever announce the precise location of a Supercharger until they announce its unveiling. Quite frequently forum members have found them under construction, though.

+ 1 ...it is just such bad form for any EV locals to abuse any charging infrastructure, Superchargers included!
I did not have a chance to view the video but I just came across this article (in French) which is a summary of the Tesla 2014 NAIAS press conference. The article indicates that Jerome Guillen did mention that "as soon as weather permit, this spring, the supercharger will be installed from Toronto to Montreal, in fact, they will cover the corridor of Toronto to Québec City".
What is interesting in this article is that it mention that "at the end of the press conference, the press officer (of Jerome) Patrick Jones stated that it will be Quebec City that will be first to receive the supercharger ". This is quite strange as it does not show up on the supercharger map. My guess is that he probably meant the one between Montreal and Québec city (roughly around Drummondville as shown on Tesla supercharger map). So if this is true, it may be an indication that this might be the first supercharger to go live.
And then he goes on to say "that subsequent superchargers will be quickly built every 200 or 250 kilometers on the path that leads to Toronto and then Detroit".
It also mentions that Vancouver will see a Tesla Store in March or April of this year but my guess is that this is no surprise to anyone but just in case. (Sorry I don't follow as much what is happening on the west coast)
Given how popular Tesla is in Quebec (partly due to very low electricity rates), launching first in Quebec makes sense.

Guess what I saw this morning? A midsize city truck traveling along hwy 401 westbound just past Cambridge ON. And what was on this truck you might ask. There were 2 supercharger stalls and a huge white transformer. The bottom half was wrapped with the cardboard and the top was sticking out. I wish I could take a picture. I was in the left lane and passed it too quickly. I wonder where this truck was heading!

Must be the London supercharger! Locals - you've got some scouting to do!!!
(Yes, too far west, I rarely travel that area... but it's a good start!)
