Yep, seems funny or strange!
I tried charging again after taking a 78km trip and SuC still not working, but all pedestals are lit except for one that is half lit.
In this weather, that seems like a good idea - LOL
Supposed to get much warmer tomorrow, all the way up to -14 C.

Tried the SuC again today with warmer temperature of -4 C and still not working, so my belief is that the Mother Ship has turned off the ability to charge and it is not temperature related.
Too bad as I had wanted to make the 220 Km trip to Winnipeg and use the SuC there to get back home.

Talked with Jeremy / mobile tech today, and he confirmed the SC's are not meant to only operate above a certain temp. They are supposed to work at all temps that we would see. We chatted a bit, and think as many do here that since he hasn't been told they are officially open yet, it's likely a testing phase where they are turned on and off for various reasons that Hydro and Tesla have during testing.

You could check it out or ask @Aceboogie to check it out. If it is not working, the good people at 4Way Motors in MacGregor have a great charger. Last time I looked the Petro Can in Brandon was working.

Been that way for the last week.
Brandon Petro Can CHAdeMo working
Saw Petro Can CHAdeMo charger being worked on at junction of 16 & 1 Portage yesterday. Not functional.

For those that were going to rely on the Brandon SuC, I have verified - Brandon MB SuC DOES NOT WORK!
All 6 will not start charging. Yes, the car will begin prep for supercharging but NO CHARGING! The app says there are 3 of 6 in use, but there are 0 vehicles there. I tried calling the Mothership, but their voice mail said they KNOW ALL. If only they did!

I would say it was about 30-45 minutes ago that I checked. This is VERY RECENT!
As I said, the car went into conditioning for SuC when I selected the Brandon SuC. I then drove there. There were NO cars there (even though nav said 3 of 6 stalls were in use) and
0 of the 6 stalls would allow charging. I tried every one.
Thing is, I really don't care about Brandon SuC as I charge at home. Winnipeg and Portage are the ones I wanted.

supercharge.info says 19 SCs in Canada went live today - wonder who verified them all.

Was not yelling, was emphasizing. OK!
Earlier this afternoon there was a MB Hydro guy checking the transformer to see if things had been done correctly.
When I said I had conditioning happening, the only way I know to do that is select a SuC in Nav & head to it.
What really gets me is the Mothership trying to say they know. Also saying on the pedestal to call but when I call, basically saying "Never mind!" like Rossana Danna Danna.

Let him express benign emotion (-:
If i lived there, I'd be tempted to do a road trip for no good reason other than because I could.

If you lived here, you would head to AZ - LOL.
Winnipeg is just too far to do a round trip without charging, in the winter.
Pre kids I would have booked a week off work and gone for a ride across the country and back just for fun.. and to visit a bunch of people.. but now I will have to leave the first TC(supercharger)H trip honours to someone else.. hope they write about it!
