If anyone is wondering, just completed this trip. Had no issues with charging and made it through. Left Saturday at noon from Ottawa and arrived in Victoria Tuesday evening around 7pm.
Here's the charging stats. Tried to utilize CCS as much as possible because it was cheaper, but 40% of the stations were not functioning... Totaled just under 6000km

What kind of speed were you seeing with the CCS adapter when it was working? Wow you saved quite a lot avoiding some of the superchargers. I am doing a similar trip in September (Hamilton -> Vancouver and back). I visited the east coast in June doing about 5500km and I spent I believe $467 total on Supercharging over 9 day. I had a couple of nights of free destination charging in a Nova Scotia. I recently got the CCS adapter from Korea as well but havenāt had the opportunity to try it yet. Iām driving a M3P but I might have 18s on it before the trip so that may help a bit more with the efficiency.
Since I'd got my CCS Adaptor in May, I've been using CCS exclusively here in Toronto. As you know, there are so many variants affecting the charging speed but the good thing is you don't have to share power in V2 supercharger.
For the Electrify Canada 350kW charger, on a cold battery with around 15% SOC at around 18C-25C, I usually gets between 160kW-190kW and comes down to 80kW steady until 70%. The highest I'd got is 215kW with battery pre-conditioning and 10% SOC.
For the Electrify Canada 150kW charger with the same conditions, usually starts at 120kW and go down to 70kW steady until 70%, still better than V2 when you are sharing.
Also tried Petro-Can CCS 350kW with similar results but Petro-Can chargers are not as reliable as Electrify Canada.
For the cost, it averages out 33cents/kWh with the Pass+ membership in Electrify Canada. It will be cheaper in Petro-Can for a couple cents per kWh but I prefer EC. As a reference, it costs 55cents or more per kWh in Superchargers.
Unfortunately, there is no Electrify Canada along Trans-Canada Hwy 1. There are only Petro-Can CCS and they are max out at 200kW.
I'm planning to drive to Lake Louise from Toronto in November and have planned my route splitting between V3 supercharger and CCS on Hwy 1. Can't wait to visit the Rockies again
Haha not much sleep. I honestly caught a lot of sleep doing supercharges. I slept about 5hrs on average. Only slept 3 nights, and actually didn't drive much during the night and tried to avoid doing so.Impressive. You barely slept and/or you broke some speed records across the prairies
Disappointed about CCS reliability. Looks like PrecoCan has a long way to go before they can change to ElectroCan.
Thanks for the update.
I went with what was nearest to a supercharger, which ended up being Petro Canada 100% of the time throughout my drive. When I hit BC, there were a ton of BC Hydro CCS chargers but at 50kwh.Were you not interested in the other brands of stations?
Also what Model Tesla were you driving across the country with?
I was averaging about 200kw, but mostly because I would precondition to the Supercharger that was in that city, and then use my phone to navigate to the PetroCan CCS that was a street or two over. If it was way out of the way, I would just opt for the Tesla charger because I didn't want to risk going there and having it dead.What kind of speed were you seeing with the CCS adapter when it was working?

Also BC Hydro CCS doesn't often show up on PlugShare. I have no clue why, so I relied on the BC Hydro app.Thank you for the info Kuroneko. I took a look at the EA map and see they are clustered along the 401 from Windsor to QC and then Calgary to Vancouver at the moment. Iāll have to get there app and maybe try one near me just to figure it out. Iāve only used Tesla and a couple of Flo chargers when I was out east.
200 kW? I thought that the Model 3 SR+ or RWD was only able to pull down 170 kW max?I was averaging about 200kw, but mostly because I would precondition to the Supercharger that was in that city, and then use my phone to navigate to the PetroCan CCS that was a street or two over.

Honestly the CCS saves quite a bit, almost half. That being said, I was driving an SR+ so maybe the charging peaks weren't 250kw vs what could be on an LR
Maybe I'm overestimating. I honestly don't remember exactly. I know it goes down quite a bit pretty quickly.200 kW? I thought that the Model 3 SR+ or RWD was only able to pull down 170 kW max?

Unfortunately, I hit a deer in the prairies so that wasn't so nice. Total cost of repair is $9500. Also takes well over a month to repair. Headlight, bumper, fender and hood as well as two sensors need to be replaced. The problem is I have matrix headlights, and apparently they're not made anymore so they're replacing both headlights with the standard headlights.
Just some expensive parts that need to be replaced:
Hood - $615
Parking Sensor - $155 x2
Fender - $440
Front harness - $420
Headlight Assy - $1210 x2
Running Light (where fog is) - $240
Bumper - $650
The total for OEM parts is: $5500
Labour, material and tax is the rest and parts total around $9500
Yes it was. But he's selling it as he has a MYLR on the way. I warned him about the drive prior to leaving and he said it was alright. I missed another deer about 6hrs earlier and swerved by it. Also saw a moose in Ontario.Sheet! So this was your friends 3sr+ that you were driving? not sure I would be happy about downgrading the lights. Although Iāve only driven my car with the matrix headlights a couple of times at night and didnāt find them that great. I had my Civic 3 years and rarely ever had to use my high beams but the first night with the M3P I thought something might be wrong Iām not sure they were projecting more than 1.5 car lengths in front of me and I was having to use the high beams all the time so maybe it isnāt that big a loss. Iām actually planning to try and do zero night driving when I do my trip in September.
You sure you put the right filter on? Shows up fine for me.Also BC Hydro CCS doesn't often show up on PlugShare. I have no clue why, so I relied on the BC Hydro app.
Car does have AP. Was using it mostly, but I was actually driving when I hit the deer.Bambi!
That sucks, glad you're OK. Did the car have AP? I don't think I can go back to driving long distance without at least AP lane keeping.
I thought I did. When I was in Victoria, a lot of the BC Hydro ones didn't show up for me .You sure you put the right filter on? Shows up fine for me.
Dang. I wonder if AP would have been able to avoid.Car does have AP. Was using it mostly, but I was actually driving when I hit the deer.
I doubt it. I almost hit another deer a few hours earlier and AP was on, and it just beeped at me. I swerved it still but went towards the deer's rear end. Not sure why I was aiming at the front his time lol.Dang. I wonder if AP would have been able to avoid.
What did you end up doing for entertainment on long stretches?
