Yeah, I’ve been by that location a few times while they were setting the chargers up, nice to see them finally functional. Electrek might be jumping the gun a bit regarding a rollout since Petro only had 5 stations in Ontario that had (free) Level 2 chargers, so they’ve got a long way to go before they start truly rolling out their own charging network. It’s a start though...
No, there's no CHAdeMO or CCS adapters available for the Model 3 at the moment. There is a CHAdeMO adapter for the Model S / X, but it's $600 CAD, so...
Maybe? Would make road trips a lot easier if each gas station/ON Route had a few high power chargers. Mash the pedal for 200kms (without a speeding ticket)... charge for 15 minutes while taking a break. Repeat
Honestly, screw OnRoute. They had a big charging plan in the works around 2015-2016, but all that ever came out was a wall charger around Cambridge. I think it would be the best thing to have chargers at OnRoutes
The OnRoute issue has been discussed here before and there may be an issue with many of these locations being at the skinny end of the grid and therefore requiring expensive retrofits to have many SuperChargers requiring several MW of capacity.
Aren't SuperChargers much faster than Chademos? Why would Tesla owners bother since the OnRoute stations are primarily on the 401 corridor which is already pretty well served with SCs? And the SCs are free for many of us.
Doesn't hurt to see more charging options along the corridor to Montreal. I'd make the effort to stop into town instead of the OnRoutes for good food or an attraction/break. The food choices at OnRoutes aren't exactly stellar
CHAdeMO is slightly below what an Urban Supercharger would give you for the default config and the same as a regular Supercharger on the special plug. The main advantage is that it's an open standard that is accessible to more people/organizations and hence in theory would be more plentiful in terms of locations. Superchargers are only installed by Tesla.
I’d bet the next Petro-Can fast charger will be at the Kingston stop. Definitely would be practical to highway drivers due to the recent relocation of the Invista Centre DCFC charger to Downtown
