Supercharger - North Saanich, BC
- Thread starter dfly777
- Start date
I live in N. Saanich so will try to drive by once in a while and look for construction actually happening.
The phase 1 is Canadian Tire and has been open for a number of years now. The phase 2 is under construction and I haven't driven by that area for a month or more as it isn't on my normal route. Not sure how close they are to finishing the 2nd buildings or the parking lot. I'll get some pictures today if I have a few spare mins.
Couple photos of the site from yesterday...
Looks like you missed being tagged on the permit, so this can jump straight to construction @Big Earl @corywright N48.662164, W123.41743
I was on the highway today so didn't drive up the side road to take a photo but the superchargers are in place now. They are V3 design....was hoping to see some V4s. I'll get a photo of them this weekend and post.
From yesterday. Later in the day I drove by again and the dispensers were closed up looking finished.
Hey guys ... any new updates for this location? Are the transformers installed? Is there a BC Hydro meter installed?
Most SC's across the world that started construction in 2024 are all sitting idly by without being turned on. Reference the Elon Tantrum when he fired the whole SC team. Seems that only this location and Whistler have boots on the ground.

You mean 10 turned on (after being off for months too) out of hundreds around the world that are sitting idle for 6+ months.
I know someone at the North Van City Hall and they confirmed that the crew that built all the new SC's in the Lower Mainland in 2024 was from Alberta and they were fired by Elon and they have left all locations high and dry. Nobody at the city to talk to at Tesla because of the chaos at the Tesla Supercharging Team (or lack thereof) so no BC Hydro Meter and no activation.
I "like" this article that Tesla released blaming the "utilities" when it was Elon who fired the whole Supercharging Team. Normally SC's in BC are turned on in 3-5 months (with some rare exceptions), but since the firing, all Lower Mainland new locations are dead. The one in Abbotsford was dug out, then after the firing, they back filled the site and left. It's evident what's going on.
Yes, some sites are possibly being turned/worked on like Saanich and Whistler, but those are new and different crews from the many that are abandon in the Lower Mainland. I was in Europe and I have seen many Superchargers covered up with bags and when checking PlugShare, comments show that those locations are also sitting since the firing in April. But Tesla and Elon will blame the "utilities".
Well Langley opened last night. Maybe that team will hop on the ferry and get this open before end of August. Probably not. I will go drive by it this afternoon and see if any activity.
