Supercharger - Bancroft, ON

[wayner]

This is great news! I will be going to Killbear Park for Thanksgiving weekend from Ottawa with my model 3 SR+. What do you think my odds are that this supercharger would be up and running in one week?

Slim to none. Are you familiar with the Nepean Supercharger?

Charged at Town of Bancroft Municipal Office level 2 charger at former railway station in late Jul2020.
Worked well except it is slow=32 amp 205v charger ie approx. ~6.5kw.

Thanks, this is all I need to top off during lunch going from Huntsville to Arnprior, where I can use the Chademo chargers.

Not completed yet. I am here this weekend. I will pass by and take some pics but still no signage or units installed. Some red posts completed.

Thanks for the feedback. I hope you or others can keep reporting on this to keep everyone up to date on the progress.

I spoke to a very nice gentleman from Canadian Tire today on my way back from Foodland and he was pretty certain there would be full usage after Christmas but not anything expected before late December. Power supply is ready and just waiting for the units to arrive for placement. Hope that helps. I am back for the 2 weeks before the holidays and up to January 4th. Hopefully I can leave my truck at home and take the Tesla. Please note that universal charger in Bancroft does not seem to be reliable according to this gentleman as well. Stay safe.

I think COVID has taken a big hit on supercharger production capacity.

Maybe, that’s why they are going to going to build in China.

I was in Bancroft today, no change. I had hoped the team that expanded Kingston moved here, but not so far...

I've just got confirmation from family in Bancroft that the contractor is back working on the Supercharger. I had heard from a work colleague there was a shortage in parts which was why this (and Collingwood I presume) were boxed up. Hopefully this will go live before the end of the year.

Good news. Thanks for the update. Appreciate it.

Oh man! That's exciting. I hope this means that they have enough charging panels in supply to also complete Orangeville and Collingwood within the next couple of weeks. That would be incredible.
