Western Canada Superchargers

[AudubonB]

Is parking w/o charging not a citable offense in BC?
Or is it considered one that would not be enforced anyway?

Who is the location’s landlord/owner?

 

[dmd2005]

Some google reviews of their charging etiquette or lack there of will likely get their attention.

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

The guy that owns Current also owns Tesla Parts, Accessories & Service | Parts & Service by Canada Electric Car Management, maybe you could leave him some feedback there.

Edmonton super charger at Currents windermere

This is open now.

They park there without plugging in to avoid getting charged. This has been going on for years now.

Plug them in

He’s wrong on the opening to other brands. That is a US funded program.

There has been no mention of funding involved in the opening some of the US Superchargers. Given all of the conditions on the NEVI funding, I don't think Tesla is going to use that to open Superchargers. (They might apply to use some of it for building new Superchargers, but we likely won't know that for at least a few more months once states issue the RFPs for it.)

Given that they've opened up many superchargers in Europe also, I wouldn't be so dismissive. Also, she phrased it as a question as to whether or not superchargers would be opened up in Canada. Time will tell.

I just want to point out this previously.

This is suggesting chargers at : Victoria, BC -> Nanaimo, BC and Port Alberni, BC.

Agreed. I was more focused on the person who responded saying they'd done surveys for a number of supercharger sites!

I'm not following exactly what's being said here, but the deal happening in the US will have ramifications in Canada. Tesla puts in FLO stations at NRC sites, but that will probably end as they need to make the CCS changes for the US market anyways.

I'm not following exactly what's being said here. Too many acronyms.

NRC = natural resources canada
Flo = charging netowrk
CCS = charging standard
US = United States
