Supercharger - Trenton, ON

[ccudmore]

Stopped last night on the way home (Stittsville) from YYZ. All that is left is to take off the covers and pull the switch. With the available amenities and the easy on and off from the 401, this will be the mid-trip stop for many travellers on the Ottawa - Toronto route rather than Belleville V2.View attachment 905192.

Were the green utility transformer and meter installed?

Unfortunately, I didn't notice. It appeared that the site hadn't been touched for a while, and given its clean appearance, this may well be another case of regulatory bodies taking their time.

yes -- everyone gets excited to see the white Tesla equipment, but without the green machine, we are nowhere.

0 out of 12 isn’t a good sign.

I think it's best to wait until it shows stalls available before considering it up - but this does suggest Tesla is likely in the process of commissioning the site.

Thanks - this tweet hadn't come across yet on my twitter feed. The site is still showing 0/12 available as of 4:40PM EDT - it's clearly in-progress and expected to be available for use shortly.

This one almost makes up for Brockville

Nah - that area is supersaturated with SCs. Trenton is 18km to Belleville, 60km to Napanee (should be open soon), 50km to Cobourg and 65km to Port Hope.
But Brockville is in a barren stretch. The distance from Gan to Kemptville is 108km if going to Ottawa and Gan to Cornwall is 150km if going on the 401.

You can clearly see that on the screenshot above - tons of SCs in that vicinity. Yet we continue to wait for Brockville.

All eyes are on lone star Brampton now !!! Rest in Ontario are mostly permit or just announced

I am slow on the uptake today!

Been waiting for this one. Right off the 401 and with a Tim Hortons and Subway within a two-minute walk, just have enough time to grab a coffee and a sandwich and be on my way. While Belleville has a lot more stalls, it's a V2 and a bit of traffic getting in and out.

What are the speed differences between a V2 and a V3? In my 8 year old Model S I seem to do better on V2s, but I don't have a large enough sample size to say so conclusively.

I have been to Belleville a number of times and have never had any traffic issues. Maybe I once had to wait for a second light to turn left to get back onto Front St.

a v2 shares 150kW between A and B stalls, so 1A and 1B. so if you and someone else pull up nice and warm already and plug in on the same shared load, you'll still only see a max of 74kW. with a v3 charger, it not only doesn't share load, but also has a higher peak charge of 250kW.

V3 does share an available total supply for the cabinet, but it's just high enough you'd mostly never notice. But it is noticeable if you show up expecting 250 and other cars are doing the same. See here.

oh, never noticed. i just have an SR+ so i peak at 170kW. driving this past week from Ontario to NB and back was definitely frustrating at the Riviere du Loup charger. its a v2 but seemed to have 74kW shared between adjacent stalls. dropped to 35ish when someone else pulled next to me and back to 74 when by myself.
