Supercharger - Deep River, ON

[GarthG]

ICEd in Deep River

Photo of the Supercharger construction site there today. No sign of any electrical work. From a road trip I took from Ottawa to Kirkland Lake in my Subaru. Would have preferred to take my M3 LR RWD but waiting for the update so I can use the Chademo adapter I just got.

Dude, somebody took your money. That ain't no Subaru.

With the exception of Las Vegas, it seems as though every thread for an “Under Construction” site has pictures of completed concrete and conduit but no electrical work. They must be running short on charger pedistals.

Yep. There was a pedestal shortage earlier this month. It seems to be clearing up now and sites that were waiting are getting completed.

I guess the other question - the Moose Jaw post mentioned a large transformer nearby installed from the Hydro company. Does this or the other sites have that equipment yet? The Tesla equipment may be being postponed until Hydro can deliver it's part.

Drove through Deep River today and the situation is exactly the same as the last pictures shown above.

North Bay, however, does have electrical equipment on-site now, still sitting on pallets. See the North Bay thread for today's pictures.

Stopped by Deep River today; unfortunately still the same as the most recent photos with no signs of new activity.

I need to do the Montreal - Sudbury drive in early October -- any update on the SuperCharger's progress?

Update. Seen some lads in orange vest working in there today.

Finally some progress and some hardware on site as well!!! Combined with the latest update on North Bay the Ottawa- Sudbury corridor is creeping forward at long last.

A little more progress (Sept 13)

Why the canopy?

Why the canopy?

Probably because there has been quite a bit of rain in this area lately.

 

[ccudmore]

Why the canopy?

So the workers can keep dry when it’s raining.

This should now confirm that this will be a Tesla Supercharger (Sept 16)

Hey Deep River is starting to "catch up" with North Bay based on the most recent pictures of each site. Did you notice if the main transformer was on site, if there it would have been to the right of your photo? These are often late and delay supercharger openings well after Tesla has done their part of the build.

No, unfortunately I did not notice any other equipment to the right. Just empty wooden spools. I am eager to see this completed!

... Did you notice if the main transformer was on site, ... These are often late and delay supercharger openings...

Nah, there's several sites in SK with all the Tesla boxes in place, several others where the transformer is already there but no Tesla equipment, but still no pedestals. (They just aren't private utilities). So I suspect slow utilities is not a problem yet... Unless Tesla is planning a one-time blitz when all the pieces are ready, meaning then the transformers in Ontario would be an issue.

Nice! I have to go to Perth in a couple weeks...I know it won't be, but it sure would be nice if it would light up in time for that trip so I don't have to jog up to Ottawa to charge.
