Canadian Superchargers

[zax123]

Glad to see action, I hope SCs are being considered in there somewhere! Thanks for the update!

Hey we're on InsideEVs website!

Just charged up at a SCH charger in Hope this afternoon.
One of the locals said TESLA negotiations are in progress for some private parking lot space, most likely by the Hope Hotel a block from downtown.
No definite timelines but encouraging.

For the western superchargers, a couple of comments.
Lake Louise is an unfortunate location, I'd prefer Castle Junction, that way you can use it to go to Radium/Invermere as well (at Lake Louise it's a ways out of the way for that route, and the change shouldn't affect the ability to get to Golden anyway)
For the Vancouver - Edmonton crowd, I have a feeling Tesla isn't even thinking that way, they're thinking different group, Calgary - Vancouver and Calgary - Edmonton, but a good place for a supercharger would probably be hwy1/hwy22, or Balzac/Airdrie

Where exactly is the Squamish Supercharger going. I'm staying in a hotel less than a mile from where it is marked on Plugshare but don't see it. Thanks. Thought I'd check on progress.

Here you go...

Just found this

TESLA MOTORS INC. - DP - 40147 GLENALDER PLACE District of Squamish

Thanks. I'm there right now actually and don't see it. They must not have broken ground or I'm just not seeing it.

That's because it isn't approved yet.

Here is an interesting website pertaining to the Squamish Supercharger and approval status. It even has the project status on it.

TESLA MOTORS INC. - DP - 40147 GLENALDER PLACE District of Squamish

Just talked to Squamish, they say 3rd week of May for approval, then however long it takes for Tesla to build it.

 

[dsm363]

Thanks. I has thought it was already underway. It will certainly make the trip from Vancouver easier.

New Construction

I drive by the Toronto Tesla dealership on my way to work every day. Last week they were pulling another set of distribution wires under the road to the store. Maybe they will install external charges this summer.

Moved some posts to Quack (aka is it a dealership?)

 

[FrozenCanuck]

the supercharger map for the end of this year shows a station between Ottawa and Montreal. Is that new?

 

[Doug_G]

It's been there for a while, but you're right that it wasn't there on the earlier maps.

We need super chargers at all border crossings into the USA, on Canadian side on 400 series of highways. I am especially interested in west of Toronto, say London, Windsor, Sarnia also Niagara falls, ON. I would love to drive to Chicago and there are super chargers in the US that would accommodate that but I can not get charged west of Toronto.
Plus I have family live in Sarnia that I can not visit in my Tesla.

It would be nice to see something on the other side of Toronto... perhaps the London area. Looks like something going in near Detroit (based on the crude map), so London would facilitate drives right through to the US on either side of Toronto.

And Sarnia too, if travelling Toronto to Chicago its faster through Sarnia border crossing, every GPS sends you that route

The most recent communication from Tesla shows superchargers at Ingersoll and Chatham.

See Canadian Superchargers - Page 50 for details. I think that these maps are more accurate than the Tesla "Coming Soon" map.

I am wondering if these stations would make it possible to do a GTA -> Mont Tremblant skiing trip with an S85. Would I be able to reach the ski resort from the last SC before Montreal considering winter driving conditions and elevation with a ski-rack on top (causing extra drag) ?

I would guesstimate that it is possible to reach the resort but would need to recharge there for the trip back, but I would like to get the opinion of experienced Tesla owners from the area.

Use http://jurassictest.ch/GR to check out your range considering elevation. Use an extra 20% for safety and weather. Plug in & pre-heat your car/pack before leaving.

As for skiing, you don't need a roof rack. My family (4 of us) have been skiing using my s without a rack no problem. 1/3 seat folds down for skiis, leaving 4 seats. With the frunk, trunk and sub trunk there is still tons of room for boots, gear & luggage.

They're planning another Supercharger on the 417 between Ottawa and Montreal. Might help.

I live about half way between Cornwall (possible last SC site before Montreal) and Mont Tremblant and I have done the trip twice to Mont Tremblant from my house and back while staying overnight without charging in some of the crappiest weather we had last winter. It was ~-30C and blowing snow and I still made it with some range to spare so I would assume that it is definitely possible to make it one way from Cornwall but you will definitely need to plugin when you get there.
