Supercharger - Markham - Markville, ON

[miimura]

If you look at this pic: Model 3 Owners Club on Twitter the tallest cabinets are grey and are for distribution switchgear. The other 7 boxes are likely SC cabinets, so my bet is 14 stalls, or more if more crates are delivered.

I believe that the boxes marked "Do not stack over two high" contain two pedestals each. So those 10 boxes in the picture by @tlo would indicate 20 stalls.

At least 14 would be great! 20 would be better! There are a lot of Teslas in Markham/Stouffville area, so this will get a lot of local use. And I expect massive demand for Model 3 in Markham. This will be a busy location.

the Vaughan one by Yonge and 407/7.

Any idea where this one would go? The only space I see is east of Yonge on the north side where the Walmart/Best Buy/Staples/Marks Work Warehouse are, off of Red Maple Road.

Google Maps

Where you suggest makes a lot of sense - I was just guessing at Yonge and 407 but to me that makes the most sense, especially given that you have the Markham one not too far east and the Concord one will be only a few km west.

 

[SnoopyMarkham]

There's supposed to be condos going up in there somewhere, but I'm pretty sure there will lots of space to put in 14 or 20 charging stations in that area.

Yeah, the block surrounded by Yonge/High Tech/Red Maple/Hwy 7 makes most sense. You have Go station, Viva/YRT there. You can find Silvercity, Indigo, Timmies and some restaurants like Milestone there. Looking to the east, you can find Homedepot, Walmart, Bestbuy, Staples, Canadian Tire, Lawblaw. Lots of stuff there. And there is plenty of space over there too.

That’s how I normally pronounce it. Just ask my wife!

Lots of digging going on today. Adjacent parking lots full of cars. This is a prime ICEing location.

That's what I said a while back. Having lived in Markham from the late 80s through the late 90s, I've seen the growth and know the residents of the area. My mother and sister and half of my extended family still live there.

 

[SnoopyMarkham]

It should be far enough away so ice cars won't park there, however, the big test will be at Christmas time. That mall gets SUPER busy and has very little spots available at that time.

I could see people parking in the charging spots if they can't find anything else.

 

[rpm001]

Tesla really needs to get into the practice of painting the stalls completely red as an additional diversion.

 

[wayner]

Or have posts that flip up and block the spot that can only be unlocked by a Tesla.

Or put traffic cones it would be so much simpler!

Yes but would they last during the busy Christmas period? I am guessing no.

 

[SnoopyMarkham]

Lol. Easy to move traffic cones, especially by people who are desperate for parking.

 

[MarcoRP]

Could there be a "NØ PARKING OR BE TOWED" sign?

Some construction activity at the Markham SuC this morning. Digging and earth removal.

 

[MaxTorque]

This is great start to the GTA sites. I live in London and work in Durham Region & Quebec City, so I have been struggling with only Lawrence Avenue supercharger available in the GTA. There are a lot of us who have accepted the tolls as the cost-of-doing-business and love the 407ETR to avoid the 401 congestion, so this site will really help us out-of-towners.
Thanks to all those giving the regular updates on the site construction.

Catch a muskie in Stoco while supercharging

Are there Muskie in Stoco Lake? Figured only Pike that far south.
