Supercharger - Lincoln, NB (near Fredericton)
- Thread starter dddire
- Start date
I talked to the techs yesterday. They are hoping to have them up and running before end year. They said the weather is slowing them down.
That’s what I was thinking. I have not seen this before. 2 possibilities
- new design
- they might have screwed up?
I recently saw a video by Stantec (since removed from youtube) where they mentioned having to make some changes to Tesla's Supercharger build designs for installs in Canada. It was something about designing some engineering solutions for dealing with specific/unique soils for the Canadian geology. Maybe this is one of those? Regardless, a screw-up isn't a realistic possibility. This is clearly specialized hardware. Whatever it is had to have been called for on the building plans. The contractors didn't just fab something like that up on-site to deal with some unexpected issue.
Interesting, But as a NB boy - this is dirt. Plain old dirt. these look like they may be using the new smaller stalls. Same power - smaller pedestal.
If I had to guess based on the mount - yes. And truthfully, - the pedestals mean nothing. Size only. I expect them to all go that way totally at some point. No need for those big ones. Nut hey - just a guess.

Saw the same video, and was actually a little surprised at some of the things that he disclosed. Seemed like an in company presentation that was never meant to be publicly released.
I think he said there were four different soil type configurations that they had pre-engineered for which is saving Stantec time and money while doing the engineering drawings for almost all of the Canadian installs. Pics look like they may have used a screw post like a Posttech to get down below frost line.

Was at Woodstock and King's Landing NBPower Charger locations yesterday and no sign of anything new. Staff at Woodstock Big Stop said they have been told they are definitely the location, but don't have a timeframe yet.
Give me Woodstock and I'll be good and ready to attempt the Toronto-Charlottetown Cannonball Run.

Baileyville is permitted but no sign of construction last week. The same with Edmunston; and Medway. It's funny how the Waasis site went right to a construction icon and I never noticed the permit. Brewer to Waasis is an easy top even in the winter either by I-95 or the Airline (Maine #9). We still need Woodstock or Edmonton to make the TCH to R du L comfortable.

I have found Google references that give the Blue Canoe Restaurant and Irving Big Stop address as Fredericton; Oromocto; Lincoln and (yes) Waasis. Since it is most locally known as the Lincoln Big Stop, this is the moniker I favour.
