Fantastic! Hopefully an SC goes in around the Cranbrook area. Fort Macleod to Castlegar ain’t going to work unless you have a 100D and drive 60 km/h! Hah

Good to see a FLO going in at Fernie though.

The Ottawa location is sorely needed and I’m extremely excited for it. The current location (only one in the city....) is an urban charger deep inside a parking garage downtown, extremely unhelpful.

I chuckled when I saw this. The manufacturer's Rep for FLO lives in Fernie, Go figure that they put one there......

Interesting point - unlike a gas station, there's very little need for attendants etc. and a lot less infrastructure to manage with a charging station. No tanks, no risk of flammable liquids catching fire, spilling, etc. As a result these chargers can go anywhere, even places that don't maintain the same hours as a gas station - Canadian Tire stores, other stores, restaurants, hotels.

It's debatable what to do at a hotel - maybe a pair of fast chargers like Petrocan for drop-in daytime chargers, and a row of overnight chargers would work. I wonder if Tesla or someone will construct a means of taking payment for simple Tesla wall chargers - maybe a remote controlled relay or timer inline, so the front desk can turn on a charger, with suitable payment, say for 6 hours. That infrastructure would be incredibly cheap and effective for drumming up business. "I'm in room 206, I parked in stall 14, can you turn on the charger for 6 hours?" Verify car charging via app.
