CCS1 charger networks in remote Canada useable for Teslas with the Tesla CCS1 adaptor

[ProtonopeSJ]

I'm planning to travel in Northern Ontario where there are not many EV chargers. I have a Model Y with both J1772 and CCS1 adaptors. I plan to get to Cochrane by first getting to Rouen-Noranda in Quebec and then leaping to a level 2 destination charger in Cochrane. The nearest Tesla superchargers are in North Bay Ontario. Does anyone have experience charging using Quebec's Electric Circuit chain? Are there CCS1 chargers that are known to work with the Tesla adaptor and ones known NOT to work? I appreciate that I need some kind of appropriate mechanism to pay and let's assume that is in place. Another Question for Petro Canada chargers in Espanola ON: will they work with the Tesla CCS1 adaptor? I realize there are superchargers only 10 km away - but the answer to the question has wider implications. Thanks for any help.

People will often post check-in's and pictures on plugshare of them using the CCS adapter. Probably a good place to start.

Great idea - seeing all the Teslas that have used various non-Tesla charging locations is certainly a very encouraging indication.

I have used FLO/AddEnergie/Electric Circuit chargers and found then reliable. Charge Point (only J1772 so far) also works.
Ivy worked until their new software in the last month and has not worked since.
Mind you for DCFC that is not NACS I use a CHADEMO adapter.

Circuit Electrique in Quebec is pretty much as reliable as the Tesla supercharger network, and far more widespread in geographic coverage. After two years and dozens of fast charging sessions at CE, I have yet to experience any failure to charge on the first try - including the past few months with the CCS adapter. Petro Canada on the other hand, I have tried it only twice and in both cases it didn't work so I gave up entirely.

I had no issues using FLO DC chargers with the adapter last summer.

I went to the east end of Quebec last year (Gaspe and surroundings) when superchargers weren't available, and with the CCS1 adapter, I was able to charge on them at somewhat slow pace (42kwh) but all of them were reliable. There were plenty available too.

Last summer I drove NB-1 + TCH to PEI in a Kona. Moncton, NB Petro Canada only ones >50kW and had been broken for months. Still reported as broken apart from one Bolt driver.
