I see an ICEing problem at this location with the Kelsey's crowd while the Park Place location's remoteness has no ICEing problem yet.

I was thinking the same thing as I walked around there last night. This takes up a BIG chunk of Kelsey's parking and even at around 9:00 pm, the parking lot (what's left of it) was still about half full. I hope it doesn't end up with those signs that permit "shared" use!

Just checked and you're right... but they did have a second "coming soon" site shown in Barrie for a time. Not sure why they would have taken it down? It seems unlikely, but maybe the Park Place site will be decommissioned...

Montreal is the current SC capital of Canada. Three locations in the greater Montreal area and two more under construction, for a total of 5.
But how many are technically in "La Ville de Montreal"? I think only Place Vertu. Only that one and the one planned for DDO are even on the island of Montreal and DDO seems to not be part of the city.
Plus Montreal has what 4M people in the metro area. So even if we assume an average of 12 chargers per site that gives 60 for 4M or 1 charger for every 16,667 people. In Barrie it is 28 chargers for 141,000 ( the Barrie metro area is a bit bigger at around 200,000) but that is 1 charger for every 7000 people.

I don’t think that anyone in the near future will complain that there are too many Superchargers in one place once truly under serviced areas finally get theirs. Goodness knows that I have railed about the lack of Superchargers to the Maritimes in the past, but I refuse to look a gift horse in the mouth. I think that the Supercharger buildout is actually happening and I am optimistic finally. To me these new Superchargers convince me that places like Ottawa will be soon be on the map.

Wow. That site went up FAST! I live in Barrie and that site was just a parking lot 2 weeks ago...

Yes. I drive past there every morning, get my groceries at the Loblaws in that location every other week, and get my coffee in that same plaza often enough. I was at the Kelsey's 3 Fridays ago (just double-checked my transaction history on my account).

Nah. I imagine they just have a very well established process for shipping, delivery, and build that compacts the schedule. It's just a matter of logistical efficiency.They must have 3rd-printed them.
