I think the French ones are all running at reduced power too. Likely because they are being fed standard European 400V 3ph from an existing building feed instead of the more ideal 480V from a dedicated utility transformer.

I agree, but in time...I think that this is a more realistic request once we have some Gen 3's on the road.

Still no one has actually charged at Hope? I might need to make a trip up there this weekend just to check it out. That's one station that will likely very rarely, if ever, be full, at least for the for next few years anyway.

Yes, but wouldn't it be better, for us and for Tesla, if they had a charging network in place before the flood of Model 3's hits the street?
If Tesla drags its feet on deploying a charging network it would kind of be like leaving a big school assignment until the night before, even though you've had months to complete it. Speaking from experience, it rarely works out well...

Move the slider to "2014" and you will see them. Of course they won't be completed in the next two weeks but hopefully they will be done by next spring.

I have been corresponding with my contact in a key role at Tesla. There is good news on all fronts for us long-suffering Canadians. I have asked for his permission to quote his specific guidance. When I hear back, I will post more!

The Coming Soon map is chronically unreliable. Many sites open without ever appearing there. Tesla is working on a big refresh of the North American map-- real soon now...

In Canada, couldn't you run a 60 kW single-cabinet site from 208V triphase? This would eliminate the need for the 600/480 transformer. If installed in a indoor lot, like you might find next to a mall, installation could be very cheap (relatively speaking). Yes, 60 kW is not ideal, but could be good as a 3-4 year stop gap for bridging some Canadian locations.

A Supercharger Cabinet can run at 90kW on 208V, 3-Phase, but needs 350A service per cabinet. That is a big load on an existing installation.
Also you still need a transformer to get the 208V from 600V. Better off with the 600/480 I think.

Congratulations!
How many rated km do you have in the battery? It would take a pretty high state of charge to limit you to that kind of charge rate. Can you state it in kW or better yet, it Volts and Amps?
