We just need to convince BC Hydro to add a Tesla Supercharger connector to their fast chargers. The largest public charging company in the USA is already doing this.Sorry I missed this.
You can get to all the destinations, but it's not enough for a return trip. A charger at the Tofino/Uclulet Junction or in Campbell River would allow the charge needed to get home. Right now that entire return trip has to be planned around leaving fairly directly from a longer charge session.
Tourists might like that so they can head down island after a bonus morning of additional sightseeing. I personally have the option to use my vehicle for work. I can't do that up island because I am doing too much driving trying to get full days in. The system works for tourists with some flexibility and planning, but is a barrier to wider adoption. That's why I think a few smaller chargers would be all that's needed.
It's the same in the Kootenays. As it stands you can almost get to anywhere. But if you want to explore the Kootenays or use fast charging for the home trip it's trickier. I think that's part of what's driving the big charging expansion there.

Edit relevant to some of the other recent posts:
From the City of Vancouver's charging bylaw announcement today (emphasis mine):
12-17% means 1 in 8 or better. Even if just half are Tesla that's 1 in 16! Sure there are lots of old cars on the road but it speaks to how it seems driving around here seeing them constantly. Very cool.
