Supercharger - Hope, BC - Klassen Road

There's a video on Tiktok where the guy says the new chargers are v2?

Do they post any proof? I can't listen to the audio right now.

He's wrong. They're all V3.

I love a confidently incorrect person. I'd say it's too bad so many will be fooled but maybe it will mean less waiting in Hope.

It would almost be worth signing up for TikTok to post that in his comments ... almost.

Worse than video are the insane anti-EV comments to his video "Notice the Deisel generators" "4 hours to charge"

I thought if it's on TIkTok, it must be true. Is that not the case????

Earlier posts for this expansion reference 22 stalls, as does Supercharge.info, but my car says there are 23 stalls. Not too important but one source must be incorrect. Maybe someone stopping at the site can confirm the actual number.

ASAIK, there is no supercharger with an odd number of stalls.

edit: nope, I stand corrected if this is correct:

No, there are plenty of sites with an odd number of stalls. If you want to see some, go to the Data page on supercharge.info, use the drop downs at the top of the page to show whatever region/country you're interested in, and sort the list by number of stalls. You'll see that the vast majority of sites have even numbers of stalls, but at many odd numbers there's a few locations.

As a footnote, with 23 stalls the Hope Klassen Road site would stand alone, in Canada, as the site with the most stalls. The Vancouver Pacific Centre site has 22 urban (72kW) stalls. Quite a few other sites have 20 stalls.

It makes sense given the pinch point of highways there and the uptake in BC.

I’m pretty pleased with the expansion of this Supercharger site. It is now “trailer friendly”!

Nice. Will be using that site on our run to Vancouver island in 3 weeks.

And on my way home, while charging again at Hope I was treated to this sight. No, he was not preventing anyone from charging, there were only a few Teslas there at the time. And I did not say anything to him. Just 20m away there were multiple open parking spaces next to the gas station/market. It appears that he just doesn’t care about the signage. He was there for the entire 20 minutes that I was charging.

It's a 22 stall station, so if only a few cars are charging and the dude is not abusing it (leaving his car unattended), it's fair game IMO. At a bare minimum, there was no need to shame him by posting his license plate.

Nice. How your range loss while towing. I have a Model Y LR and also looking at the teardrop trailer and it's little bit smaller.

Responding to you privately to keep this thread on topic.

Respectfully disagree. If one person does it and gets away with it, it potentially opens the floodgates to more abuse. I've been to Klassen Road several times: there are a LOT of parking places that don't block the chargers. Shaming is absolutely fair game in this instance, IMHO.
