    Well, well. So Canmore's getting a Supercharger. Now isn't that just grand! Should open some time next year......

    In honor of that, and with the profoundest apologies to the late, great Stan Rogers, here is a little fantasy. Don't shoot me - I'm just the piano tuner.


    Now I've been twistin' broncos

    Now I've been charging Teslas
    Ever since I hit the trail
    Ever since I hit the trail
    And I think I know a cayuse
    You can always tell a Cayenne
    From his nostrils to his tail
    By emanations from its tail

    It was down by the old Bow River
    It was down by the old Bow River
    In the year nineteen and one
    In 2021
    That I was twistin' broncos
    That I was dissin' Broncos
    For F A McHugh and Sons
    At Cam Clark Ford & Sons

    There they had a buckskin nag
    The Supercharger had a Roadster
    Not worth two bits to keep
    Like one you've never seen
    He had a black strip down his back
    It had a speedo in its dash
    And wool just like a sheep
    Went to eleven-teen

    He wasn't much for saddles
    It was the Plaid Edition
    And it damn near killed the boss
    'Twould kill a Chiron dead
    To have to pay ten dollars
    And nary a Ferrari's
    Just to bust that two bit hoss
    Horse would raise its head

    When I climbed upon him
    When I sat within it
    He just naturally took to the air
    It so naturally took to the air
    That every time we went aloft
    That every time we went aloft
    He tried to leave me there
    I said a little prayer

    Until at last we went so high
    Until at last we went so high
    The light between us shone
    The lights on Mars bright shone
    And there we parted company
    And there we parted company
    And he came down alone
    And it came back alone

    Now I've been twistin' broncos
    I live now as a Martian
    Ever since I hit the trail
    And in good company
    And I think I know a cayuse
    I drive a Tesla Cybertruck
    From his nostrils to his tail
    I think you will agree

    But I'll sell my chaps and saddle
    That life on Mars suits me just fine
    Set my long shank spurs to rust
    And when my time is done
    For now and then you'll find a hoss
    I'll fondly think of Canmore
    Yours truly cannot bust
    In 2021

    Yes I'll sell my chaps and saddle
    Yes life on Mars suits me quite fine
    Set my long shank spurs to rust
    And when my time is done
    For now and then you'll find a hoss
    I'll fondly think of Canmore
    Yours truly cannot bust
    In 2021.

    As a Canadian and a Stan Rogers fan (barrett's privateers), thank you.

    I think there may be two Stan Rogers songs I don’t know chapter, verse, chord & harmonies.

    Possibly even three. Certainly not more.

    Looks like it’s an 8 stall station! Great news.

    If only they'd put one at Lake Louise and do the one promised in Jasper, it might be possible to do the Parkway without too much concern.

    Just poking around on google streetview I can't see any signs of electrical infrastructure on the parkway, so I wonder if 'The Crossing' and the Columbia icefield are off grid? If so, not the best place to be running around with an EV.

    Correct, both those are off grid and electrical power for those sites are provided by on site power generation (mostly diesel generators).

    All the more reason to put fast charging in Lake Louise and Jasper - it's 233 km between the two, so well within the range of possibility. And the Crossing provides a (diesel powered) backup...

    Regarding Lake Louise, it is unlikely to have Level 3 charging in the near future.

    There is document online from September 2019 outlining the Lake Louise Electrical Energy Infrastructure & Conservation Plan.
    Lake Louise has about 2600 kW capacity available at peak times (December-January) before more infrastructure is required, but in the long range plan they are expecting to use that extra capacity already.
    This plan already includes Green Initiatives (section 6.4) which includes EV charging and states that Level 2 charging is preferred, with this plan budgeting 100 kVA for 5 Level 2 chargers.
    https://lrp.skilouise.com/7967/widgets/30001/documents/15128


    Regarding Jasper, Tesla's proposal depends on approval from Natural Resources Canada.
    Their decision regarding this is imminent, as their plan was to have funding decisions by October or November 2020 (one page's banner shows October, another page's banner shows November).

    Check these pages for news on the 2020 approvals (Phase 3?) when they have the decision.

    I did the parkway in Sept in Model Y. Speed limit is 90 so range tracks very well. I topped up to 95% in Canmore and arrived at Jasper with 38% . Parks Canada has (free) high power level 2 in Japer near the steam locomotive exhibit, i was at 85% in 4 hours. Parks Canada recently opened (free) high power level 2 in Lake Louise plaza so this trip is very doable

    Interesting. Thanks for the update. I wonder how long before the Edson ChaDEMO charger is also up and running...
