Supercharger - Manning park, BC

[pb2000]

We Tesla folks have been patient (mostly). Only a year or two and we will all be sharing as new non Tesla EVs get tesla ports. Then we will be crying for a couple years til it builds up more, then smiling as Tesla stock takes off. Happy Investing!

You worry too much

In Q3 there were 2.7 millions BEVs registered in the US. Tesla cumulative US sales since 2015 amount to about 2.1 million (unsure how may cars have been written off) and Tesla still holds a ~60% market share (q3 dropped to 50%) of what's looking like just shy of 1.1m total US EV sales this year.

NACS adapters don't start appearing until spring and not all CCS drivers will choose to use them, so there could be as many as 3 million Tesla's on the road before the first native 3rd party NACS vehicle rolls off the line. It's not as though the other charging networks plan on closing up shop.

This site at Manning Park makes me wonder about the powerline capacity there versus the Coquihalla between Hope and Merritt (in terms of the ability to support a Supercharger). I suspect that the powerline through Manning has more capacity than the one along parts of the Coq. Has Tesla ever put in a Supercharger with battery backup to overcome limited powerline capacity at the site?

Not to mention superchargers will be more expensive for non-teslas. Just because others can use them doesn't mean they will often (give the price premium to use them).

Just found this thread. I’m very surprised this location is not shown on the Tesla website Find Us page.

My wife and I camp at EC Manning in the Skyview campground. It has hookups so I normally charge at my campsite but this new Supercharger will certainly be convenient.

Do you have a source for your statement? I thought all EVs would pay the same price at Tesla Superchargers as the network opens to non-Teslas. But I could be wrong…

Any site with magic dock lists the price for non tesla owners on the find us map.

Thank you. Now I see that. Below is an example. So where do I find Supercharger prices for Tesla owners? Is that only shown in the car when you charge? I’m not seeing prices in the app. I ask because I use my 2015 X for long distance trips as it has free lifetime Supercharging so I never look for what the price is for Teslas that have to pay.

Anyone passing through Manning? Supercharger photos appreciated.

Drove there today, the new CCS chargers (4x 150) are on, Tesla is still off, but looks ready to go, meter is attached to the Tesla cabinets but not turned on. Might be soon, or maybe some BC Hydro hold up not related to the site itself, but commissioning of capacity? I'll keep checking the Car nav to see when it lights up, but I won't be there again for a while, it's a couple of hours drive from Vancouver, fun trip to go look today. This was my clue it might be active already: Mike Wenzlaff on LinkedIn: Powerful electric trucks and more charging now in Manning Park, just 2.5… | 14 comments

Did you notice if there was a BCH meter in place yet? Usually on the tall white Tesla cabinets. The meter being installed is usually a sign that things are close to being operational.

will this be operational by Canada Day? just booked a long road trip which includes a drivey through Manning Park.

No way to predict that with any certainty.

While nothing is guaranteed. But That’s 4 months away. I’d say odds are 99.9% that it will be. Regardless you have the other DCFC units available if you have CCS enabled with the CCS to NACS adapter

(In case you didn't already know) Hope-Princeton in the summer is already easy to cover without additional charging, even with an old SR+. The newer Hope supercharger is roomy, and super convenient especially when heading east.

Open ! @Big Earl

Cool. But I don't see it in the app yet. Hopefully, they have Starlink, pretty bad cell reception in this area..

This looks like a way smarter design for snowy climates? Push it straight to the back instead of asking the plow driver to side swipe or, worse yet, just push a pile up against the SC? Obviously also better for towing.

 

[ecarfan]

So these stalls are pull through, correct? (It’s not obvious with the snow piles) I wonder why the pedestal nearest the main road (in the background) has a bollard next to it that is between it and the other pedestal. Seems like that bollard should be on the other side.

I plan to be at the nearby Skyview Campground with my trailer later this summer and look forward to trying out this new location.
