Supercharger - Sudbury, ON

[sandpiper]

OPEN NOW!

Snapped some pics now that the Tesla guy was finishing up. He could not tell me when this location would show up on the in-dash nav. He figured within 24h.

My only worry will be educating the truck driving SUV loving gas burning people of Sudbury that this is EV parking only... ICEing might be common here.

Awesome! I'll have to go do a quick charge just to celebrate!

By the way... for those who live in Sudbury, if you visit, let me know... I've never actually seen a Model S/X up close

@lexcyn - Great work on keeping us informed. I am sure that you will be seeing a bunch of vehicles in the near future once the site "goes live". Don't be shy to chat with the folks that you see charging - almost all of us love to show off the car. I am sure that some folks will even let you experience the "launch" of Insane or Ludicrous mode.

@rypalmer wtf?

The station wasn't confirmed as active. As usual, you have jumped the gun! Calm down!

Thanks! Maybe I will stop there on my way home and see if anyone is charging

It is active but I don't have a Tesla to prove it Who wants to join me there in say, 1.5h? We can post proof!

See you in six hours. If there was a Supercharger in Renfrew, I'd be there in three

 

[lexcyn]

I'm going to stop there in about 15 minutes... if anyone from Sudbury with a Tesla wants to meet and test it out. I mean, I could try and plug it into my Volt but I'm pretty sure my battery would melt

With this one open, there are only 26 superchargers left to build between the two parts of canada ! (according to the tesla predicition map)

Celebratory first charge!

I must have just missed you! I'm sure you were getting some good speeds with no one else around.

Also - do I have your permission to use that picture on our Twitter page? @GSEVAssociation

Sure! Go ahead. And with the Tesla system, the chargers are arranged in pairs. You always get full capacity, unless you’re the second person hooked into a given pair. I saw around 100kw.

I was on CBC News this morning speaking about the Super Chargers... please do not mind the terrible picture of me, it was -25 and I was freezing

Except it incorrectly lists 7 instead of 8 superchargers LOL

That's weird - I wonder if one isn't working for some reason.
