I dropped by yesterday at 1230 and talked to the site supervisor. He was very cagey about providing timelines siting confidentially agreements with Tesla. From what I gather from previous posts,this is Tesla's modus operandi, never reveal timelines, my guess they do not want to provide undue expectations.
My concern is that on their Supercharger map, Brockville and Renfrew, have been in the "coming soon" phase going on for extended time frame.
But if they can get those two, plus Bancroft, that will basically open all of Eastern Ontario even in the depths of a February deep freeze., It will provide redundancy and flexibility in charging options. There is nothing worse when travelling on a day when the windchill is hitting -40 to discover that Kingston is off-line due to some unknown technical issue. Ended up not making an important meeting in Ottawa that day as I had to stop in at Smiths Falls and top up at a Level 2 charger at Smith Falls Nissan. Not a whole lot of fun to run out of juice with no heat under those conditions.
