As time goes on, the more and more I'm starting to think that LEVEL 2 charging is insufficient for my area (Saskatchewan, Canada). The distances between locations are too large and the charging too slow. Even with a Model S, I end up spending a large amount of time at my destination tied to my car while it charges rather than enjoying the sites or spending time with friends.
Tesla has written us off. There are no Superchargers on even the longest-term map. We need access to fast charging but Tesla currently does not allow private Superchargers. The next best thing is CHAdeMO.
Does anyone here have experience (direct/indirect) installing CHAdeMO stations? What are the basic requirements? What equipment is necessary? How much does it cost, on average?
This is merely a thought exercise at the moment, but I've reached the point where I think it may be necessary to try and fund a CHAdeMO network in this region, perhaps by starting my own network. Half a dozen stations per province would go a long way to making EVs appealing to people around here.
