Eastern Canada Superchargers

Or you can go to P. F. Chang's, one of the best restaurants in my opinion. Then a coffee at Tim Hortons .

Speaking of Montréal SC, I'm at Kingston SC as we speak and it's faster than Montreal's.

There's the Java U coffee just in front of Tesla SC... they have very comfy sofas...

the demand at Kingston!

Hey, that's awesome! 4/6 stalls operating.

You're confirming wireless charging?

Any news on the status of the Drummondville Supercharger? There are climate change marches and meetings in Quebec City beginning on April 11, 2015. It would be great to be able to bypass the bottleneck in Montreal on the way there! For further information see:

Hydro-Quebec was working on the site this week. According to some reports, they finished their work. However, probably nothing will happen until at least Tuesday, after the Easter holiday. I hope there isn't a further delay on top of that for painting.

It was even busier before that! All stalls being used and a 7th car came in as I was pulling out. Nice day for a road trip :smile:

So it really is 2 SC stalls then. That really is totally inadequate. It means we cannot rely on the Montreal Superchargers.

I'll be in Montreal in June, coming from Quebec City. In QC I had to find a hotel that has a charger, which I did via Plugshare. I was thinking that in Montreal I could stay at any hotel because I could just charge at the SC for 45 minutes before heading on to Cornwall or Kingston. But if the SC in Montreal isn't predictable, I may need to rethink that.

To be honest with you, just avoid Montréal...

You can SuperCharge at Cornwall and after that you can take the Highway 30 toll bridge (2,40$) which you'll save a lot of time if it's all traffic in Montréal...

Here is a snapshot of the stretch (Cornwall - Drummondville = 232 km)

Just make sure you don't stay in the Quality Inn near the Tesla store. I can't put in words how bad it was!

Actually my son spilled a full bottle of water on the seat. Good to see you. Actually I realized who you are when it was too late. I knew the car as I was leaving, an S60, white and in Kingston.

I'm staying at the ALT next Weekend (the 10-12 of April). it's $23 a night but free charging. I spoke with the hotel, and it's a public, underground parking. The hotel installed the chargers. I'll let you know how charging goes.

 

[mochouinard]

The Montreal SC store location has power issues. This is why only two are outside.
The fact that there are others inside is irrelevant. The rate of charing anywhere on the complex would be slow anyway.
Perhaps this is why they don't want people using the inside SC. It slows everyone down.

It make no sense that there is power issue at that location... But let say there is, it wouldn't limit Tesla from using their 4 SC at their peak power, or else they wouldn't be allowed to have them both plugged in ! Also Tesla provide some amazing battery, and they do run SC from Solar Panel and battery... Even if we have 20% less efficiency than California for solar panel, just adding a few battery to offload the network of peak demand like their product they are probably going to announce april 30 would do the trick to lower peaks.

As for restricting their SC usage inside is more related that would require staff to bring the car inside and plug it in while maybe other cars were in the way for service purposes (not charging). The SC are not accesible from outside right now because of all the delivery car parked on the side of the building.

The charging stations are right at the partially sheltered entrance to the hotel. They're not in an underground garage. You can see photos on Plugshare. Maybe they mean the valet will plugin your car, then move it to a garage when it's fully charged.

Are you saying the hotel stay is $23.00 a night? Fantastic! I'll make it my hotel of choice then when in Montreal.

Thanks.

23$ for valet parking per night... not for the room...

I have stayed at the St-Germain Dominion in Quebec (pre-HPWC), and can tell anyone interested it is a fantastic hotel.

Cannot comment on the Alt group, but I believe they are owned by the same family.

Hotel Sepia has also been recommended to me if we travel to Quebec City.
