I wonder if the Ontario superchargers are still slated for 2013. I haven't even heard any rumors on official locations yet. I guess we'v e ruled out OnRoute however.

Thank you for your recent email about the availability of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at Ontario’s Highway Service Centres branded as ONroute. The Honourable Glen Murray, Minister of Transportation, has asked me to respond to you on his behalf.
As you are aware, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has committed to supporting the deployment of electric vehicles by providing a purchase incentive and green licence plates since July 2010 and a home charging station incentive since January of this year. The Ministry also recognizes the importance of developing and implementing public alternative vehicle fuelling technologies such as electric vehicle charging.
To help inform future decisions regarding the needs and opportunities related to public EV charging infrastructure in the province, MTO issued a request for information (RFI). Many of the RFI responses identified that the near term role of the Ministry should be to focus on public education and demonstration/research projects. MTO is considering these responses as it evaluates its potential role in supporting public EV infrastructure.
In the meantime, Metrolinx is planning to install electric vehicle charging infrastructure at up to nine selected GO Transit stations in the near future.
Host Kilmer Service Centres (HKSC) Developments L.P. is the service provider operating and managing Ontario’s 23 Highway Service Centres on behalf of the Province. Electric vehicle charging stations were considered as part of the design at Ontario's service centres and conduit was installed in the ground to enable installation of charging station equipment in the future. As demand grows for electric vehicle recharging stations, HKSC will consider installing facilities in selected locations. They will continue to monitor the EV charging market and look at the best technology options to serve customers.
Once again, I appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention and thank you for your feedback and interest in Ontario's Highway Service Centres. I encourage you to monitor the MTO website (www.mto.gov.on.ca) for updates and opportunities related to EVs.
Sincerely,
So I wrote to the minister to ask about charging stations at On Route. I got a response "on his behalf" from an engineer at MTO.
I saw this sign at the Cambridge OnRoute today. Nobody seemed to know any further details on when chargers will be installed however.
Thanks for sharing! Was it on the eastbound or the westbound side of 401?I saw this sign at the Cambridge OnRoute today. Nobody seemed to know any further details on when chargers will be installed however.
What we need now is a picture of a Tesla parked in front of that sign, and to distribute that picture far and wide.
Agreed!
I'll try tomorrow. I drive by the Westbound Cambridge ONroute on my way to work and the eastbound one on the way home.
I did stop in and looked at those signs a week or so ago, but never thought to take a picture! The King City and Barrie ONroutes also have the same signs.
I'll try tomorrow.
I stopped at the King City (400 Northbound) OnRoute yesterday. I circled around and found no such sign there.
I too took a picture this morning:

Too bad there is room for only one car and it is next to garbage containers. Not serious.
