Took a side trip to Vegreville yesterday to look around to see if any signs of construction starting. Poked around the Canadian Tire, Boston Pizza and WalMart parking lots and no signs yet of any Supercharger construction yet.

Thanks for doing this! I may be headed that way in August and will see if there's appetite to do similarly (but I doubt it with kids in tow).

There are reports that a crew is currently working on the Japser SuperCharger, My bet is they are starting there and then working their way east to Saskatchewan along the Yellow Head.

Amy updates on the installation, no comments since July. Any updates

Saw a nice set of construction photos in the Tesla Owners Club of Alberta Facebook page. Looks to be new this week from the comments there.

Drove through Vegreville this afternoon. A crew of 6-8 people working on the supercharger. The Flo combo cabinets are both installed. The power and control wires were being pulled and connected to the Tesla transformer end. Making very good progress.

Should have said .... I think the concrete work and underground work was done. Wiring/power to be done, pedestals to be put up and then paving of the lot. So a few weeks yet maybe.

That was quick!

There are some promising reports out of North Battleford and Lloydminster (i.e. they might be open). Is there anyone local who can stop and check on this one? Be sure to take pictures!

 

[Hambo]

Looks like the Flo stations in Vegreville are online. Anyone care to make the trek out there to check on the Superchargers?

Pretty much guaranteed they are on.

 

[RadScientist]

I'll head out in a few minutes. Just topping up my battery first in case they're not on.

 

[RadScientist]

It's online!
