Supercharger - Montreal, QC - Cote Vertu Blvd.

[RiverBrick]

It took six or seven weeks for them to hookup the puny 500 kVA transformer at the Montreal service center, so no suprise that this site isn't open yet. There's an entire extra level of bureaucracy with the Montreal power commission involved as well as Hydro-Quebec.

It's disappointing, but I think some utilities in California can take even longer. At least all the kWh will be clean, once they're available.

Tesla must be pretty frustrated by now. At least it will be in place well before the winter arrives.

Man, I worked a few hundred metres from that location before I moved out here 18 months ago. And I can tell you, California has its own challenges! Permits can take forever, the NIMBYs can interfere (I need all my parking spaces!) and local government can be as slow as the Montreal city's best effort at terrible bureaucracy.
Also, in parts of Northern California, the rednecks and monster trucks are in full force, and this leads to some of the slowest developing sections of the Supercharger network, as those folks don't exactly buy into the EV lifestyle. Pretty sure their local government then adds an extra layer of dragging feet to the whole process, since you know, their electorate does not care.

Still no power as of this morning.

Closing a store electricity is not as simple as it look. People are working during night probably in the Canadian Tire to fill the shelves and doing receptions.

 

[Buzzz]

I'm there now and still not powered.

Official ribbon cutting for Place Vertu Supercharger is Thursday, July 14th!

Just got the email

 

[Dakkor]

Magog link give July 14th also when you click it..

 

[steilkurve]

In the email preview before you open it, it says that BOTH the Magog and MONTREAL chargers are now open. Would they have turned the latter on overnight? It doesn't show up on the SuperCharger map on Tesla's web site. I shall go check this morning! Will report back.

 

[steilkurve]

Still not on. 11:16 AM on Saturday... The email preview text clearly states now open. The upside is that I'm now really good at navigating this novel stall configuration. ;-)

 

[Buzzz]

It was suppose to be on yesterday but apparently they had an issue.

I did not receive the e-mail, can someone post the link for rsvp? At what time is it on July 14th?

 

[Dakkor]

The french version of the email does not say that they are open.

I'm at the supercharger now. As posted above no power yet. Will come back tomorrow. I doubt they'll pull the plug on Thursday.

The English clearly states now open. See attached screen grab.

Lost in translation. That is why my wife's job is safe for a while... (She's a translator, and looks like Tesla could use the help.)

 

[RiverBrick]

With Drummondville, this makes for three official Supercharger inaugurations in Quebec. Not counting informal events hosted by local clubs, is this a provincial record in Canada?

With a normal ratio, three formal ceremonies would probably mean 15 or more actual sites. I guess Supercharger openings are so rare in Quebec that all new sites merit special celebration.

Hi,

Went at the site today and still no power.
