Yes, but you live in the Gulf of Saskatchewan. If an owner lives within the Supercharger network the question is entirely different.
Most of Canada does not live within the Supercharger network.

Well, it's not as bad as getting ICE'd, but the effect is the same. The high power charging infrastructure exists but is razor-thin. We really need the Superchargers!
The Ambassador is a good hotel; very EV friendly and great parking arrangement. That said my Roadster (53 kWh) didn't fully charge after 12 hours there - luckily I was just going back to Ottawa so no biggie. A Model S would take 18 hours for a full charge.
I guess you should just put in enough to get to Cobourg. How much range do you need?
Since I got my Tesla second hand, I paid $3,600 to get the dual chargers after the fact. For me it was worth it after seeing that where I was going to be travelling, there were high amp chargers. I've made use of the dual chargers more than I had planned since SuC's were supposed to be rolled out by the summer of 2013...
It's frustrating to hear your story, Sylvain. I'm amazed Tesla hasn't at least set up a bank of HPWCs somewhere in Kingston. Good luck getting to Detroit.

What was the turnaround time on getting the second charger added? I got the single charger when I ordered my car on the assumption that SCs would continue to become more populous and that I could easily limit my travel routes to them for the first few years. But now that Tesla has shown in their latest maps that even through 2016 there won't be a continuous line of SCs on the Trans Canada Hwy., I'm thinking I may want to order the second charger. I'll wait until I formally start to plan the trip west from Winnipeg, but I'd like to know how much lead time Tesla needs to install a second charger.
They were great with turnaround. I had the dual charger and the rear jump seats installed prior to taking delivery. The previous owner returned the car to the leasing company on the Thursday, the leasing company dropped off the car at the Service Center on Friday, and I picked up the car at the Service Center on Saturday. I arranged the service appointment one week in advance. At that time the service center had both items in stock.
My request to add a dual charger was denied. It looks like I will be praying that the supercharger network for eastern Ontario and West Quebec are up and running by March if I hope to travel. Either that or I add the second charger after-the-fact. I can always fall back on my Odyssey.I sent an email to see if they can add another charger to my car. Dual chargers seem like an insurance policy more than a necessity based the the comments I read above. Hopefully a robust SC network will make it obsolete. It is good to get an education by current owners!
I thought rear jump seats were factory installed only, as they require a more reinforced rear pillar. It
might even agree to host temporary Superchargers at their properties.
Temporary? At the price per installation that SuC stations cost, I don't think it would be temporary... Though, if they decide to do it at their site, it would be a good way to have good praises for them... it would make them look good at people's eyes... (and not only for Tesla users but for the Vermont community as they are more greenish people than the rest of the US)
They are so green they put it in their state's name!.. the Vermont community as they are more greenish people than the rest of the US)
