    Found a document stating that the town of Renfrew was discussing the likely possibility of a Supercharger at the Tourist information centre of Renfrew (190 Mask Rd, Renfrew, ON K7V 3Z4). The document states that the town agreed for a Supercharger at the tourist centre (main choice). Don’t know when the Supercharger construction will begin but I’m guessing next year.

    @BlueShift is this good enough for a pin? (# of stalls should be 8)

    A cold walk in winter, but there are crosswalks from that location across to a mall with some dining.

    PS Aside: in a Streetview image from the nearby intersection there is a white Chevrolet Volt.

    Man, SC permits are popping up in western Ontario like mushrooms after the rain. I wonder what the 'rain' was, if anything.
    (Edit: I know this is not western, but you know what I mean...)

    But this news is from a meeting that was about nine months ago and it does not appear that construction has started.

    Renfrew would be great. I passed through there back in October. In planning the trip, I contemplated staying the night there as there seems to have a nice B&B just a few blocks from the Metro store which has an L2 charger. Ended up staying in Arnprior instead, which was quite nice (another Tesla owner let me use the charger in his garage). But a SuperCharger in Renfrew would make that town a great place to stop.

    It's official anyways:

    Renfrew, ON | Tesla

    Of course, that only means either 6 months away or 1 year and 6 months away.

    Anyone have eyes on the site for signs of construction?

    Anyone able to confirm this? Is the site confirmed? This would definitely open up the Ottawa -> Sudbury corridor.

    Since it concerns a separate place more than Renfrew, I’ve taken the liberty to explain it in another thread, which I placed in the wrong forum :)
    Supercharger - Deep River, ON

    Well for anyone interested in this SC, I swung by the proposed Renfrew location a couple of days ago and so far there is no activity that suggest construction is coming any time soon.

    Thanks for this. I kept an eye on it when passing by this summer in our ICE. When this one is open, a whole lot opens up for us in our S60!
