Since the grid power SC stall input is shown rated for 350kW, what is the theoretical maximum output (despite the current 250kW limit)?
The ratings on the Supercharger pedestal doesn't make sense, that is 350 Amps at 500 Volts which should be 175 kW. I'm not sure how they come up with that for North American V3 Supercharger pedestals since they can deliver 250 kW.

But if you look at the Supercharger cabinet nameplate, they show 250 kW rating and 631 Amps at 500 Volts DC output for the post (stall) which could be up to 315.5 kW if you ignore the explicit 250 kW rating, though Teslas don't (currently) charge at 500V.
The nameplate below is from a different V3 site (Red Deer County, AB).

I noticed that the excavator that was at the Edson site when we went by on Thursday last week was moved back to Jasper some time Saturday, looks like the were filling in around where the supercharger cabinets go. I wonder if they use the excavator to lift the cabinets into place or do they bring in a crane truck?
 
Any updates on this installation? Any word on when activation will occur? Will it be concurrent with Edson SC location?
I personally don’t have any plans to go to Jasper anytime soon so I can’t give any updates. Based on what I saw at the start of September the Jasper site should have all equipment in place by now and should just be waiting for commissioning and possibly paving.

My guess is that once Edson has finished construction the tech will be out to commission both sites around the same time. Before heading off to eastern Alberta to commission the new sites there.
 
Excited for this :)

Has anyone done the trip up here from Banff/Lake Louise with a SR+? ABRP estimates you'll arrive with 15% if you charge to 100% at banff/canmore...
Sorry can’t help you as I have a LR MY, and I have only done the drive once from Jasper to Banff and didn’t pay attention to consumption. Maybe try asking on the Canadian trip planning thread as there are probably more people following that thread then this one. There is a Charger at Saskatchewan crossing (check plug share for more info) if you need a top up.

Theoretically you should be able to do the drive from the Canmore super charger to Jasper assuming you leave Canmore with 100% soc, however, I have noticed that real world distance is greatly affected by the following: elevation gain, headwind, outside temperature, and speed travelled. I would not want to be doing that drive when it is colder out when you need to run the heat.

Have you tried punching in the route into the cars nav?

Thanks guys, good tips. Seems like a quick top up at Lake Louise is smart.

And yea I would not chance it during winter even with the new heat pump system, hopefully in the near future more chargers open up during that route. The ones at the Saskatchewan river crossing seem to be 6KW only.
