Any updates on progress?

No progress yet on Supercharger. Drove by this morning. My guess is Fernie and Creston will be built out first

Hopefully this will be up and running before May next year (along with the border being open). I've got a wedding in San Fran to attend driving down from Calgary and this would save a lot of hassle.

Fernie, Creston, Castlegar, Osoyoos U/C now...

Checked yesterday, still no sign of construction.

Good news everyone! Looks like they fenced off the parking lot between Tim Horton’s and Boston Pizza, an area that is almost never used for parking. My guess is it’s for the Supercharger and construction should start soon! I will keep my eye out

Address matches the NRC grant and the proximity to a power pole bodes well.

Edit: Actually, if you look carefully at the pole, you can already see a new cross arm and the HV taps hanging off. I'm tempted to suggest giving it a cone...

Construction started today. They have already dug to the power pole and are starting to rip up the blacktop. Looks to be SC constructions imo

I checked it out today and it is a 8 stall supercharger with 2 FLO stations. I can tell by the different sizes of conduit, with the Tesla stalls being larger then the 2 FLO stalls. It’s coming along so fast. They are digging a trench along the north side today to the hydro pole and have the 3 phase conduit being buried. Progress is happening so quickly

all that’s needed now is the actual supercharger equipment, all conduit in place! And holes filled in. No asphalt yet

Wow Cranbrook install looks great. Is it ahead of the fernie install?

So much progress. I counted 6 supercharger stalls ready to be installed, and supercharger cabinets are on site. Looks like the transformer is still missing, and 2 FLO stations have been installed with 50kw max charge rate. Everything is all opened up and I got a lot of good pictures of the insides.
