While Specific to this example, a quick search on PlugShare.com shows that there are 5 J1772 EVSEs and 5 Tesla HWPCs at Mont Sutton. Jay Peak has even more spread around four lots. It seems lots of people tend to forget about destination charging, but it's quite useful.

There is also a Chargepoint DC Charger coming soon in the town of Sutton.

Fine. Simple test : Montreal -> Some random place without a charger near Lac brome -> Montreal, by -20°C, in a SR+.

The point is, Brossard -> Plattburg is fine, but a daily winter escapade in that region could benefit from a SC, and a SC will always be preferred by Tesla owners than other charging spot.

(and for the record, good luck plugging your car at Sutton on a busy day if you're not there early)

Good point. I tried it in ABRP, and it seems like a 2021 SR+ cannot do Downtown MTL to Knowlton and back at -20 without coming dangerously close to 0% SOC at return. Interestingly enough, apparently a 2020 Bolt can do it with about 10% SOC on return, and also has many compatible DC charge stations on the way.

Tesla CHADEMO adapter is SR+ best friend in Canadian winters

Every supercharger gap in Quebec can be solved by a chademo adapter. :)
The Chademo is a Plan D at best... We've been driving electric in Quebec since 2013 and the Chademo system is sub par. Don't get me wrong, it's better than nothing.... but just barely. It's weird to see Hydro Quebec still stuck on this legacy tech with one to two stalls per station... on occasion four. It's like they're not really thinking ahead.

Unlike in many places, the number of Bolts+LEAFs+Konas in QC is greater than the number of Teslas. So, CHAdeMO/CCS stations are offen clogged up by relatively slow-charging vehicles. Waits of an hour or more were typical for CHAdeMO in Gaspesie last Summer due to vacationers, for example.
