Supercharger - Nepean, ON - Robertson Road

[Wanabeasailor]

That's a very awkward reach to grab the handle and put it back. Elderly or handicapped people might not even be able to do it. So better for people with bike racks, worse for everyone else, and completely useless for a small percentage of the population. I'm glad this design isn't more prevalent.

As a wheelchair user, I agree and thank you for considering people with disabilities!

I don’t think it’s open. Even the photo on Reddit doesn’t show the chargers to be lit

To be fair, that picture looks to be the backside of the chargers. Isn't the light only on the front?

Cool plate.

I went by the site after dark last night and they are not lit up at all.

Perth took about a week to go live once everything was completed. Why is this one taking so long to fire up

Some along the TCH took months from appearing to be complete to going live. Could be any number of things - missing inspection, Tesla tech on vacation, a broken part,.....

Because "everything" is not completed.

To be fair, the Electrify America site at Coventry and Belfast has looked completed since April.

It is still not in operation.

I think Perth was up quickly because Hydro One have gotten their act together and now know how to get these sites installed and approved. Nepean is Hydro Ottawa's first outdoor site, I am sure they are working their way up the learning curve....

Checked today at 1:30pm. Still not lit.

There's just a bunch of Canadian Tire shoppers who see us come in to check on the charger and think "WOW those electric cars can charge up so quickly!"

Free marketing for Tesla !!

Any updates on this charger since Tuesday?

Any updates on this charger since Tuesday?

The day Perth opened up, the location showed up in the Tesla app as a nearby charger. I expect the same thing to happen with Nepean especially since it will the closest supercharger to my home. So I keep checking the app when I am not passing by the location. Nothing yet as of this evening.

It actually took at least a week or more to show up in the app as an active charger.

UPDATE: I spoke with the crew this afternoon. They anticipate it being ready in about a month. My guess was before Labour Day. They pretty much came from the Perth site to start Nepean's. I asked where to next? The answer is somewhere in western Ontario. That could be Orillia, Bracebridege, or even Kincardine. But this also means Gatineau is not on the horizon just yet. They are also careful not to reveal too much information. The Tesla service centers and hotline are not privy to the supercharger construction information. They don't have any View attachment 565521 more information than we know.

In response to one of my old posts, the crew was correct when they said this would be ready in a month from that time. It has been ready but what a shame this couldn't be activated by Labour Day! Why can't they get their act together and get this going?? It's sitting there ready to be turned on, but it's still turned off. In due time I guess.
From part of another post: "Well....you're one for one so far as Kincardine has gone under construction. Assuming it's the same crew who claimed they'd be doing five more in the province this year, they still have four more to go. Collingwood, Orillia, Bancroft, and perhaps Orangeville would be ideal to be next if the intent is widespread coverage. I'll be shocked if Brockville gets started........this crew has four more to start on by the end of the year".....perhaps one for September, one for October, one for November, and one for December to complete the five they said they would do before the end of 2020. They basically completed Kincardine in August. That one's waiting to be turned on now. I'm going to predict another location starting this month.

Whenever I get email notification of an updated post I pray that's the post that says it's live. Sadly this last notification was not the news I was looking for

Hi all, just an update, still no charging as of Wednesday September 9 at 5pm.

My model 3 recognizes the charger cable but no green light.

Collingwood it is for this month. No update for Nepean.
