Supercharger - Surrey, BC

Wasted because this location is super under utilized. Check the app and youll know. We have so many other cities in GVA in need of their own superchargers and there were already 8 underutilized sc in downtown. And now 30 in total.
It's "wasted" merely because it's in a pay garage. If they put superchargers in pay garages in the other towns you listed, they too would be "wasted." It's telling that all the condo dwellers in need of superchargers figure out alternative means of charging rather than supercharging in a pay garage.

Not at all unexpected though. For people making use of them for a rare trip or stop the added cost of the parking fee is basically immaterial. For someone who is charging up once or twice a week it will add up quite fast to be a significant cost consideration when accounting for the costs of charging. At which point it's a matter of how you value your time vs the added direct costs.

Well for you we know it’s not wasted. What’s the problem with paying a bit of $ for parking in order to have the most Superchargers Visited eh?

1 hour parking per week at $7.50 per hour for 10 years is $3,913.

Average Vancouver 1-bed apartment rental is $2,100 per month.

Vancouverites, keep your eyes open for work on an upcoming Supercharger expansion in Surrey...

For those who may find the text below unclear, in this context:
“chargers” means Superchargers and “the company” means Tesla

That's good because this station I said a year ago needs to have more stalls haha, Even on Facebook the horrible lineups on weekends to charge there. Im going to charge there today, I'll look for expansion.
 
Pouring rain today, but got some photos. There is a power box on the far right side of the chargers, perhaps something happening soon?

PSA! Stall 3B is Broken so we have 11/12 chargers, hopefully another 12 coming soon.

Install 12 Supercharger stalls in White Rock / South Surrey instead ... Poobearcretu & I will promise not to invade Guildford ! :D
 
Went to Surrey supercharging location today. Right beside the super chargers are more new fencing that is different from the fencing that is in the other areas of the parking lot. I wonder if they are adding more charging stations and/or upgrading to 150kw charging stations.

I was there yesterday too and the fencing wasn’t there so it just happened today.

Yeah I was just there, I was about to post this and you beat me to it!

1/8 stalls placed in Surrey, and, better news, there is apparently another V3 Supercharger opening soon in Abbotsford! Posted by Andrew Krygsveld on Twitter.

No permits for any Supercharger in Abbotsford that I know of. The only Level 3 charger planned is for the Electric Highway Petro Canada station on the Whatcom Road exit. I would gladly take a V3 Supercharger in my backyard if I’m wrong.
Confirmed by the construction crew in Surrey. The Supercharger has been built at High Street Mall, but hasn’t been powered up yet. Number of stalls is unknown at the moment. Tagging @Poobearcretu @Corsair @dmd2005 and will create a new thread.
