Ontario Superchargers - the numbers

[SnoopyMarkham]

Surprised that there is no SC for London or Windsor.

Comber is a good fit for those travelling to/from Windsor. London is definitely a gap.

We had some discussion on this a week or two ago but SW Ontario is not getting much love from Tesla for SCs. There is supposed to be an additional site in Strathroy built this year but you would think a city like London deserves one in the city. It will be the largest city in the country without an SC, assuming the Winnipeg SC gets built. Winnipeg just took that crown from Ottawa a month or so ago.

Comber is great if you're traveling, not so good if you live in Windsor.

Right. Since the original purpose of Superchargers was to enable long distance travel, that is what I was thinking.

You're correct, but now Tesla is installing SC's in malls, so at least one SC needs to be installed in Windsor.

Why Windsor compared to other cities?

Because there's nothing there and has a population of 215,000. I also said London should have at least one as well. I know there are other places and cities that should have an SC as well.

If Tesla wins it's dispute with Michigan, I think you'll see an SC in Windsor.

I agree that eventually every city should have one but Windsor is kind of landlocked - you either go to the US or you go east on the 401. There is one east at Comber and there are six scheduled for the Detroit area. So if you are going outside of Windsor you are pretty likely to hit one. IMHO the highest priorities for Ontario, beyond what has been announced, would be London and then the Peterborough area. Eventually you would like to see one around Goderich as there are a lot of people with cottages on Lake Huron and there are no SCs anywhere close.

Agreed. I just noticed that Windsor and London, as "big" cities in Ontario, have none, even though there are some close to them. Peterborough would be great for me as I go up north that way.

As far as Detroit is concerned, according to the Telsa map, there is only 1 scheduled in downtown, 1 in Auburn Hills and 1 in Farmington Hills. Obviously, if I live in Windsor, I would have a home charging unit, so an you are correct that an SC isn't really required in Windsor at this time.

There are currently 16 supercharger sites that are already open or under construction in Michigan. I do not think the dispute with Michigan is stopping them from putting a supercharger in Windsor.

For the Detroit area I also see one scheduled for Livonia, and there are already two open - one in Ann Arbor and one by St Clair Shores. Those aren't that close to downtown Detroit, but there are on likely routes of travel if you are going farther afield.

I'm talking about Detroit, not Michigan wide.

Sorry, I didn't mean that was the reason there is none in Windsor, I was hypothesizing that if more come to Detroit, maybe they'll add one in Windsor.

Missed the Livonia one, thanks.

Have we figured out yet if Stardale=Casselman?

 

[MarcoRP]

Well someone has to check out Stardale first. Vankleek Hill is my guess for that.

It sounds like Casselman is ready and about to be turned on in the next few days. Hopefully that will solve this mystery. Casselman is not currently on the map as a 2018 site but Stardale is.

Just need to wait and see
