Eastern Canada Superchargers

[djp]

Although it is not a SC, Tesla now has its first Destination Charger in New Brunswick, located in Edmundston!

Number two is open, in Bouctouche New Brunswick.

That's great news! It's exciting to see the charging infrastructure expand in the maritimes!

Can't recall seeing it officially noted that Woodstock has been de-ICEd with actual no-parking signs... here's a pic from my road trip post.


I've since done a Montreal leg and look forward to Coburg SC hopefully before winter but they seem to get done in middle of winter, lol.

Beyond this year though, I call for Superchargers to the East Coast, please :biggrin: Would love to easily ride to the Maritimes on electrons one day. Until then, I guess Boston should expect me soon

I don't know if these markings were there as well when you were there, but when I stopped in at Woodstock I couldn't help but notice them. Very cool. I haven't seen anything like it at any other Supercharger!

Those look great and should be effective.
Thanks for posting.

At the SCh opening, the manager there seemed gung ho. Nice that he's put his markings where his mouth is.

Was at Woodstock in mid-June and even though the new No Parking signs were there, a couple of spots were ICE'd. The big Tesla stencils on the ground were not there at that time, however.

Can anyone tell me why two of the superchargers in Barrie aren't working?

I was there last night. 1A and 1B are taped off with a Tesla sign saying they're out of order. I plugged in to 2A and it latched and the port went blue, but no charging. My dash said something about waiting for charging to commence. I moved to 4A and it worked fine.

As to why, your guess is as good as mine, however I suspect one or more of the charger modules inside the gated enclosure has gone bad.

Here's something weird. I noticed on the ConnecTT app, it is showing a Supercharger station in downtown Waterloo. In the screen capture below, the red symbol is for Superchargers and the grey ones are for Destination Chargers. I'm assuming this is a mistake, but the fact that it is shown and named as "Kitchener-Waterloo" in the app makes me wonder just what it is. If you tap the button, it even opens up the typical screen allowing you to Check In, add photos and such. There is nothing shown on PlugShare (of any type) for several blocks around this area. It wouldn't really be a good location for a Supercharger anyway, but I wonder where this information came from?

What's the address of this supposed supercharger? Do you know whats at that location?

According to Tesla's website, it's a store.

Another one is added for Ottawa. I think this only means they dedicated sales representatives in those cities.

And one for Quebec city.

Ah, okay. I guess the app is picking up this information from Tesla. I think that marker for the Waterloo store is new on the Tesla "Find Us" map too.

EDIT: Upon closer examination of the ConnecTT app, I see that the Stores have the red icon with the T logo and Superchargers have the red icon with a lightning bolt icon. Must have missed that distinction earlier!

Weird location to have a store. Seems like its in the Marsland Center. I'm guessing this may be a temporary location?

The Quebec store is a temporary stand in a shopping center (Model S on display in the hallway). The others could just be office space where you can meet and have a test drive by appointment. Don't expect to be able to find an HPWC to charge or accessories for sale at these locations.

 

[iKhalid]

Ottawa's location is even weirder... University of Ottawa, the university I graduated from .

 

[RiverBrick]

From the Q2 conference call, sales were up 30% in the USA, 50% in Europe and almost double in China compared to last year. (But was the Model S available for the full 2014 Q2 in China and in Great Britain?)

Canada not mentioned in that quote, but January-June sales appear to be up 150%. 984 vs 384. Worthy of Supercharger growth, no?

I wouldn't be surprised if Canada was just lumped in with that US number...

Tricky parking at the Barrie SC last Friday night. Feathered the canoe between the sign and the stall. Be careful if you have a canoe on board. It will be interesting to see what they do if they ever allow towing.

They will allow towing on X and here's how they build some stalls to address this:
