Thanks, looks like a significant expansion in 2023 for BC, especially in the GVA, which would be welcome. The number of Teslas on the road here is staggering.

Government supported chargers are getting nearer. One deadline is this Thursday.
The Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) is a $680 million initiative ending in 2027 and its objective is to address the lack of charging and refuelling stations in Canada;
The Request for Proposals (RFP) focusing on public places, on-street, multi-unit residential buildings, workplaces and vehicle fleets is now open until August 11, 2022 (23:59 Eastern Daylight Time).

$2 a litre for gas is a pretty good incentive
I used one of those recently (Mount Robson Visitor Center) and with the Chademo adapter I was only pulling 16 kw while on a high power AC charger I have seen 12kw (M3 LR). Even on a 50 kw BC Hydro unit with a relatively low battery I was only able to get ~36 kw. The thing about Chademo is it's best case scenario and it's amperage limited so to get the full rated rate you need a relatively full battery, at which point your car may not be able to accept that much charge. Overall I was disappointed in the Chademo adapter and while I was glad to have borrowed one for the Jasper to Kamloops stretch, I'm happy not to have spent the money to buy one. The person I borrowed it from has a M3 SR so he has it for peace of mind, plus the SR AC charging maxes around 7 kw.
Yah. We have both the CCS and Chademo adapter. Did a comparison test at around 72 percent. Both were around 37kw if I remember correctly. They do eventually climb in the mid or even high 40 ‘s though. Such a huge size difference between the two adapters. Wow.
Delta, BC - Supercharger Update
Not sure if this is valid enough evidence for a new chat topic or construction cone on the map.
I just heard from my contact in Delta, BC that works for the Municipality. The owners of the Save On Foods at 5138 Ladner Trunk Road, Delta, BC have had their minor development permit for changes to their parking lot approved this week. The party that submitted the permit is named Tesla and a contractor. Given that Delta, BC is to get a new Supercharger, looks like this is the location.
Construction should being soon.

Came across this handy map:
Looks like the 12.4kV line from the Warner substation will need to be upgraded for this supercharger to get off the ground
tesla needs to do something about the taxis taking up all the spots in kelowna. My car went completely dead waiting for a spot. I asked a taxi to move so I could at least get one minute charge to get home and he wouldn't saying "this is out home base, they built this for our taxis".........uh, don't think so bud. I believe it's in the agreement with tesla that the taxis have to move if someone is waiting. They literally take all the spots all day long. Most werent even sitting in the car they just left and one guy was sleeping in his car

Ya. I'm pretty sure I used those SuperChargers before Current Taxi started their business.

Wouldn’t the “overwait” fees from Tesla end those hijinks immediately? They get very spendy.
They park there without plugging in to avoid getting charged. This has been going on for years now.
