Supercharger - Bancroft, ON

[MarcoRP]

Tesla is planning to install a new Supercharger at the Canadian Tire in Bancroft (341 Hastings St N, Bancroft ON), per an article mentionning Canadian Tire commitment to electromobility in 2020 (article below)

Canadian Tire also announced they would be adding Superchargers in Nepean (Ottawa), Kincardine, and Castlegar, BC.

Will (maybe) add on Supercharge Info!

Yahoo! Bancroft would be game-changing for our usual travel plans. I wonder if Canadian Tire’s involvement in this will push Tesla to prioritize this one for 2020 (rather than be on the ‘planned’ list for a few years first).

I wonder if CT is confused. Would Tesla open a second Supercharger in both North Bay and Deep River? Are these maybe Tesla destination chargers, and not Superchargers?

The recently opened SuperChargers in North Bay and Deep River are at Canadian Tire locations. The map is just indicating this. Nothing new in either location I expect.

This is fantastic news... Like @ChooseGreen says... This is a game changer for the region. Now there will be a lot more travel up into Algonquin Park and it will certainly help with Winter Range in the region since I lose 40-50% of range when it is a steady -20 up here in the winter.

Yes great news! I would have thought that hwy 60 would be hit first but then they went around superior and not up 11 north. The answer to range anxiety is chargers so the more the merrier. Winter is not an EV's best friend and SC's 150 km apart will help for all with 3 and y's "math" anxiety. Bet they went through the same thing when gas stations started to appear; thinking if they should get rid of their horse and buggy. Another SC will be a better up grade to us over their wifi software updates for a bit. For us it is the Renfrew/ "Arnprior" area that requires one @ -20 to -25C and it is also scheduled. Guess Nepean west works; keep them coming!

Time to give this thread some attention

Now that Kincardine is under construction, this leaves Bancroft as the last of the Ontario Supercharger sites announced by Canadian Tire where we haven't seen any construction yet.

I had a family member check out the Canadian tire in Bancroft today and they report no construction in the parking lot. :-(

Darn. I’m really looking forward to that one. Thanks for the report; helpful to know!

Adding my vote for this. We had a stressful drive from Ottawa to Orillia the other day since the two non-Tesla chargers were occupied or out of order. As it is now, doing this drive in the winter would be impossible.

Just got tipped off by DriveTeslaCanada that Bancroft is under construction

thanks for the updates! ill be in this area over thanksgiving and this would be a huge help if it was up and running by then.. I missed out on the Peterborough superchargers by a week last time i was up in this area, I'm guessing the same thing will happen with these chargers

Well done, you even captured the obligatory portapotty.

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? They seem to be making progress quickly! Has anyone used the level 2 chargers in Bancroft recently - can I rely on them?
