    I just saw a thread on one of the Tesla groups in Quebec showing an 8 stall V3 station will be built at the IGA Extra in Vaudreuil-Dorion at 249 Boulevard Harwood. Also they are adding 2 generic fast chargers for a total of 10.

    As long as it doesn't suffer the same fate as the Charlemagne one (no progress for a year)

    Found the post. Apparently it will be 8 V3 Superchargers and 2 “generic” (don’t know if that means fast or slow) chargers. So this will be exactly like the Charlemagne Supercharger, which is just taking forever.

    I don't speak French but the article seems to be saying that there will be 8 V2 superchargers. No idea why why they would build a new V2 SuC in 2020. Maybe it's an error anx it really is V3.

    As for the generic chargers, that's a fast charger at 125 kW. Probably combined chademo and CCS.

    It's worse than that. He says 8 level 2 Tesla chargers and 2 generic chargers at 125kW (CCS and/or Chademo). My understanding is this will be HPWCs, not a supercharger.

    It sounds worse than it is. Comments on the post say Tesla is indeed planning to build 8 V3 Superchargers + 2 125kW ChargePoint stations

    More importantly the OP corrects himself: "vous avez raison, le proprietaire m'avait dit 2 x niveau 3 mais c'est 2 generiques. je corrige!"

    I've read somewhere IGA had trouble with the financing of their charger installation last year. Good to know thing could me moving on.

    Otherwise, it's a pretty good location. Just right out highway 20, literally. There's a traffic light on that portion of the "highway". You turn left, you're at the SC. Turn left again, back on the highway on your way to downtown. Good place to charge up when arriving in Montreal from Toronto / Ottawa. Plus IGA is open 8-20 most day, and 5 mins walk from other places.

    Went out on Twitter to ask. No Supercharger is under construction yet, but Ian (@Mad Hungarian) was able to ask the manager what is going on, and he confirmed negotiations were almost complete on a charging installation but couldn’t give more details. More below

    Enough for a permit dot yet?

    If they're still finalizing negotiations, the units will not be online "bientôt" like the poster states. Unless you consider "soon" in French is on Tesla time.

    As for the IGA CHAdeMO/CCS connection, it isn't clear if it's part of their planned rollout of 50 locations that has gone dormant for 15 months.

    They could have canceled the program and simply be allowing the Electric Circuit to install charging stations there. The original IGA plan involved Chargepoint.

    Is it clear yet if these are SCs or not? This isn't on the Tesla SC map and almost always the sites are on the SC map, in many instances for years, before they are built. And why build an 8 SC site these days? Isn't the normal modus operandi to build 20, like just up the road in Pointe Claire?

    No. 8-stall sites are still common. They are often at the mercy of how many parking spaces the land owner will provide.

    For the location, it seams fair. It's like 15 mins, or 20 km, away from the 20+ SC in Pointe-Claire. For the convenience it provides of not having to detour by the 40 to get there when going downtown, it probably doesn't matter much, especially if it's V3.

    In English they're staying 2 CHAdeMO/CCS and 8 Superchargers. "If all goes well," they'll be ready before the Winter. This would indeed be soon compared to normal Tesla time. Especially since Winter starts in October in Quebec. :)

    They probably mean Level 3 chargers rather than Tesla V3’s.
    Odds are they’ll be V3’s, but that’ll be up to Tesla.

    The host appears to have deleted the social media post announcing the project. Is it because Tesla likes to be secretive or because no Superchargers are coming?

    It’s been confirm on supercharger.info that the permit have been issued for 8 v3 stalls. Very good news.

    FYI. For the most part supercharger.info bases their info on posts that people make in this forum. The status of "permit" doesn't necessarily mean a permit has been issued - it means that someone posted some good info but construction hasn't started yet. So it's not so much a "confirmation" as it is a "reporting".
