Meanwhile, CCS/CHAdeMO chargers have recently been installed in:
Labrador City (coming soon): Walmart | PlugShare
Churchill Falls (open): Donald Gordon Centre | PlugShare
and
Happy Valley-Goose Bay (open): Royal Inn & Suites | PlugShare
This seems to make it straightforward to reach Goose Bay in an EV. However, it's another ~613 km to reach the next location shown on Plugshare, a hotel and RV park in L'Anse au Claire (Northern Light Inn RV Park | PlugShare), which is near where the ferry connects from Blanc Sablon, Quebec to St Barbe, NL.
Has anyone figured out how to bridge that 613 km? Or are there any plans for additional charging infrastructure along this stretch? Even the village of Port Hope Simpson (charging options unknown) is ~405 km from Goose Bay - likely doable in longer range Teslas, but still somewhat daunting given the lack of infrastructure in between.
