[Drsoxen]

Stopped by today and there is some Tesla equipment on site!

 

[I am 3LECTRIC]

Could this be the first V3 Supercharger in Canada?

Would it be possible to get a picture of the contractor's trailer, including possibly their home base?
[Pictures of the workers themselves is not generally a good idea.]

Yaaas! Come Tesla, I am literally waiting for the TCH to Sudbury to be electrified to pull the trigger on my purchase!

But it looks like they'll still be waiting on whatever Ontario Hydro calls itself this year... Still no transformer installed?

Looks like workers are working on it this week. They have wiring out from the charger location

Oh maybe it will be ready by Saturday. I've get back with an update.

If in North Bay proper, it is likely North Bay Hydro that will connect. There are strict rules imposed by the Regulator governing how long a utility can take to connect any new electrical service. It is generally not the utility holding things up. The customer (in this case, Tesla) has to ensure that they have passed their ESA inspection before the utility is even allowed to connect.

If I see anything Ill post an update also since I go by there everyday

 

[AZP85]

Nothing new happening there as of Saturday.
This will be a great addition to the network when it is completed.

Fingers crossed it's done this week (not that I expect it will be). Taking my son up to uni and a top up would be nice. Will update with pix of progress.

 

[AZP85]

I was hoping that I would be finished this pasted weekend for the same reason.
Took my daughter to University and had the supercharger been complete I could have skipped stopping in Hunstville to charge both directions.

 

[pmanstuff]

Nothing changed yet. I went to take a look last night Monday and no crew.

 

[Moonlit knight]

Then I will uncross my fingers (they were getting a tad sore, anyway )

 

[Moonlit knight]

Though it didn't seem like there was much progress, work was getting done today.

 

[AZP85]

Slowly but its getting done.

I need to do the Montreal - Sudbury drive in early October -- any update on the SuperCharger's progress?

 

[ccudmore]

There were pictures posted on Thursday of it pretty much ready but having no pedestals. I doubt they did any work over the long weekend.

It's not open, and don't expect it to be open. Tesla now has a lot of Superchargers just needing small amounts of work and final commissioning. Almost done does not mean opening soon.

Anyone want to start a pool? $5 on December 3rd
