Gosh, I hope that they just open them as they're done and don't wait on finished stations to open them at once to make some statement. I wonder if we'll hear more at the CYBRTRK event next week...

They do open the Petro Can chargers once completed.
Brandon opened last week & I thought all of the Saskatchewan ones had been completed.

Got to give it to them, they're doing really well. I like the garbage cans and windshield cleaning stations there. They're really getting this right.
They open another just east of Winnipeg on Friday.
I saw on a picture posted on Plugshare a couple days ago that the construction of the Petro-Canada station in Whitewood looked pretty much complete. The fencing is still up around the site so not quite operational yet. It's hard to say which will open first, the Supercharger which has looked completed for months or this Petro-Canada charger.
Weird to say, but PetroCanada is getting the whole EV charging thing right. If it was up to me, that whole team would be in for some healthy Christmas bonuses. They truly could not have done a better job.

Except for one seemingly fundamental design flaw. They should have put the pedestals a car length from the curb, rather than up against it, thus making them sort of pull through and more universal for the many different location of vehicle charge ports. Every pic I've seen of a tesla charging at one of these it's either backed into the spot between the two, charging in the lookers right and blocking the second one, or it's parked in front at a weird angle to be able to reach the charge port.
That being said, this one pic does look to address it by offering two parking spots per pedestal, but some of them seem to have only one spot per pedestal, in a corner.

All of the Sask/MB ones have 2 spots per charger, so no matter where your charge port is you're good to go. Perhaps a couple of the early ones in Ontario weren't, but they seem to have gotten it right now.
Also, love the fact they have garbages and windshield washers right beside the Chargers.

I’ve heard most/all of the 100s can do this, not just the Ravens. Up to 200kW is the rumor. I had hoped to confirm/deny when I was at a V3, but the one I was at (in the US, plus 20 Celsius)topped out at less than v2 speeds. So...
