The next five Superchargers to open in Eastern Canada will probably be in Ontario. Then it will be a total of ON 19 QC 10. Ontario has also received most of the Federal funding for CHAdeMO/CCS expansion. (Though QC probably has more CHAdeMO/CCS compatible vehicles).
I don't see what there is to laugh about.
I'm here now. "Urban" supercharging in cold weather is not the best, especially for this location with nothing being open at 9:30 on a Saturday night. It takes a good 3-5kW to keep the car and battery warm at these temperatures (-22°C). My net charging rate for most of the session prior to tapering was about 67kW.

He's well aware that the cold is causing the rigid cables. The only question is if the issue is worse at the new "urban" sites. The other ones in the North seem to mainly be in heated garages, so Laval is the test.
Anyway, ICE vehicles were lined up about 10-feet off the pedestals today, so only two of the twenty Supercharger stalls were available without someone being boxed-in. When there are no visible lines in the Winter Carrefour Laval is going to have to put up fencing.
Lol nope.. we started driving from Fredericton at 9am. The day ended in Ottawa after 1,000km in 16.5hrs. Challenging drive.

hmm you'd think both you and You You (lmao) would be building up heat in the pack as you drive. seems like his charging is much slower. he's mentioned getting (dunno how many kw) 100km in 1 1/2 hrs at superchargers even though he's driving all day.

Can confirm my pack arrived chilled at most stops even after highway driving. The worst was it only taking 29kW in Woodstock. I should have pre-heated for more than an hour Saturday morning. All other fast charging sessions ramped up fast enough.
Not sure if he'd be using rated range in that case. I gained rated range as fast as usual.
If that is not too intrusive, could you explain the routes that you took for the travel?
Did you stayed in Quebec or went through the US?
Thanks,
Stayed in Canada. I didn't have my passport on me so it was the only option.
We charged in:
- Woodstock NB (Beardsley) 34 mins
- Edmundston NB 48 mins
- Riviere du loup SC 33 mins
- Levis SC 27 mins
- Drummondville SC 22 mins
- Laval SC 43 mins
- Destination charged in Ottawa.
The drive was made slower due to consumption and poor traction/visibility. Door to door on Saturday 16.5 hrs.
@rypalmer, do you have a white Model S? I was there at that time too. There were 2 people in that white Model S that pulled in around 9:45PM.
I waved at you guys while driving away, but had I known that was you I would have stopped to shake hands!
I did a range charge on that one with a mostly cold-soaked battery so I started from 22kW, ramped up briefly to 60kW, then by the time charge was completed and balancing was done, battery was pretty much back to cold.
I am pretty pleased to report though that with 20,000km on the counter, my original 100% being at 478km, I was able to cram a healthy 472km in the battery for a degradation to date of 1.25%. Looks to be better than many other 90's out there.
