Supercharger - Winnipeg, MB

[Hillel]

PlugShare just sent a message saying Polo Park was active but I have not tried it yet myself.

Just tried it and still not active.

I keep checking the app to see if shows up as a nearby Supercharger. Still nothing.

i believe that it only tends to show up in the app a few days after it starts working.

Yes, several comments on these posts have mentioned that new superchargers can be active for up to a week before they show up on the car's map and info.

So,, the only way to know if it is working is to plug in? Over 14000 Superchargers have been turned on and there is no way of knowing its active until you plug it in? I might be going on trip this week.

For ones open but not yet on the app, this forum is the best place to find out. Generally the locals keep an eye out and let everyone know when it's turned on.

Plugshare has checkin reports for every charger. You might find a recent report for whichever location you are considering if the charger there is new.

The Polo Park Supercharger is not on plugshare yet. Its restricted so it won't show up on a normal search.

Stay calm. And keep checking this thread.

Not what I meant. Brand new superchargers will not show on the car's trip planner for maybe as long as a week after they go live. You can still charge on them before they show on the map. So at most, a dozen or so at a time in North America and at worst maybe one or two in your area will be live but not listed. (We'll see what the result is with the TransCanada, how fast they get added to the sites).

Other comments on this board pointed out that Plugshare updates Supercharger locations only from Tesla official notices, the general public can only add non-Tesla and less powerful Tesla chargers; this to avoid misleading entries that might get some motorist stranded.

For those who need it, PetroCan is powering up a Chademo at their Deacons Corner location on Friday. Should work well for people going East.

If you have an adapter and are able, they're looking for testers.

FYI for those that were planning on going there today, Manitoba Hydro didn't get their side energized in time, so the testing has been cancelled.

Come on, Canada! Get it together!!

From a post in Western Canada Superchargers, the activation of Davidson is scheduled to be on December 20th, so just before Christmas time.

Thanks, Canada.

Size matters...

I guess, being the biggest population center in the Trans Canada construction chain, we get all 8 pedestals instead of 6 like most other spots. (Now all we need is power... )

Congrats and Cheers to all Blue Bomber fans!!

That win should take the sting off the hours long charging stops driving home across the Prairies

I stopped in to the Polo Park site today and met a fellow with a model 3. The chargers are still not activated. They are in a very awkward spot in the parking lot. I wonder if the spot was chosen so that they could be fitted out with a solar canopy in the future? The parking lot was very busy as it was around noon when I was there but my car was the only ICE car parked in the charging stalls. Only there to chat for a few minutes. I must say that I am very excited about the adoption of EVs in Canada and hope to be able to have one myself soon.

Level III Petro-Can @ Deacon's Corner is now energized!! Tested both stations for a few minutes with my Chad adapter, and they're putting out 30-35 kW @ -2C & 60% SoC

Great job Petro-Canada, thanks for the free juice!

I heard a rumour that Manitoba Hydro and Tesla are having problems working out the billing details. Is there any truth to this? Could this be holding up all chargers across western Canada and NW Ontario?
