We visited this Supercharger again yesterday. Looks like it’s ready to go once the juice is turned on!

Used this supercharger for the first time. Was the only car there. Was actually disappointed, thought it would be faster. Seemed to max out at around 75Kw. took ~15 minutes to go from 50-80%.
You'll never get a GREAT charge rate starting at 50%. Also, most likely your battery was cold. This is a common complaint from locals checking out superchargers near their house

I planned to post this photo on Sunday. It’s from Saturday while charging at 140 kW. It’s definitely working!

Well not quite...had been driven for about an hour prior to charging. Stopped there on the way home. Also, did preconditioning.You'll never get a GREAT charge rate starting at 50%.

75kW is fairly well in line for that high SoC, and an hour of driving, even with the SC destination set won’t exactly get the battery to optimal temps.
Checked it out recently. It's too bad it went in at the north end of town. It would have been nice to have it closer to the 97/97C junction so it would be more useful to those coming from the south Okanagan and to allow anyone in the interior to set out toward the coast with a higher charge. Painful watching the battery drop as you stop-go-stop-go at all the lights through town.
Sadly the result is that the gap is still too big for someone with an SR+ to skip Merritt and make it to Hope. It would also helped if the Merritt SC was at the old info center as opposed to the North end of town but it is what it is.
