I passed through Wawa last Thursday Oct 23 and took the above photo. Two men were working at wiring.

Stopped in last night. Tesla crew in a blue X was there running tests. They had been at Espanola and Blind River earlier in the day. Though they didn't offer much info, it sounds like they will be doing 2 rounds of tests, so don't expect them to be open before Christmas.

Drove to Vancouver with our Volt in October. One thing to keep in mind is, that in our experience, it was difficult to get a hotel in Wawa. The are plenty of hotels/ motels but there is a new Hydro line being built in the area and most of the rooms are booked by the workers. Don’t know when the work will be completed. Imagine our chagrin when in October we had to call around about seven hotels to get the last room, not just in the inn but in the whole town I suspect.

No light and no power at the moment.

 

[GoMobileTires]

Cant wait till there are more stations like this!

 

[MK--]

Still no power today

I remember heading north to Wawa a few years after Trudeau rammed metrification down the throats of protesting old timers. There was a billboard outside the Soo with a picture of the emblematic Wawa Goose, that said:

"200 Goose Steps to Wawa! (kilometers)"

Good thing old man Trudeau had some vision or we would be only the third country in world who is not “metrified”.

Util we have verification pictures of charging at Wawa this one should be moved back to Construction. Wawa does not show up on in car Supercharger map yet.

Funny, I initially read this as "Only third-world country not metrified." But yes it is convenient to be metric - however, the only measurement I really have trouble with in kilograms - I still have to mentally convert to pounds. I grew up with British units before they switched to metric. Weather below 0ºF I have to convert to ºC to grasp, Km and mi work either way. 4 liters is a gallon, etc. Building measurements, like the industry, I still do in feet and inches. Anyone much younger is much less confused.

I grew up with the old system and still have trouble with the conversions but it was the right thing for the country. Like converting to EV’s, many are not happy but it’s the right thing to do.

I grew up in Wpg with British units, then Canada changed to metric just before I moved to Alberta. I still think of all distances in Manitoba in miles and elsewhere in Canada in km.

Is this SuC working now?

 

[DiscordianDave]

Is this SuC working now?

It's listed as officially open on the Tesla website: Wawa, ON Supercharger | Tesla Canada

You could always try phoning SPG to explicitly confirm, but gut feel would be yes on this one.

 

[outdoors]

Prefer in car to gut or web page. Per call to SPG. Lit up stalls, but no one has been by in several days to charge. Last check in was on 16th by a 3 on plugshare.

 

[Andyman]

In Wawa now, charging, no problem even though the nav is showing closed and reduced service.
My old S is getting 92 kW right now.

 

[Bighorn]

Charging nominal

 

[Andy O]

Charging nominal

I don't know what this means.

 

[Bighorn]

It means the charger is working despite warnings on Nav of reduced service.

 

[Birdman325]

Should this be "charging normal"?
