Western Canada Superchargers

[Dear_OP]

If your car is CCS ready get a CCS adapter. Otherwise the Chademo is fine albeit max 50 KW. We have both.

There are tons of CCS and Chademo chargers all thru this mountains including one at the visitors centre in Yoho at field. We have used them all at some point over the last 4 years.

We camped and hike for a week in Yoho last August. You’ll love it.

Curious to know how much mileage lost towing that camper?

We did that whole Banff/Japer/Yoho road trip back in 2020. Due to Covid closures, these places were devoid of international tourists. What a wonderful experience. Don't mind doing it again.

We lose about half our range. Typically 320 to 380 wh per kilometre at 90 kph.

I am planning a drive in my long range Tesla from Spokane WA to Golden BC as part of a Banff road trip. The distance per Google Maps is 338 miles with a supercharger at Cranbrook BC right about the midpoint. Third party route planners (e.g. ABRP) suggest this route for me. Tesla's own "Find us" site shows Cranbrook BC supercharger location as operational. But Tesla's "Go Anywhere" web page routes me through Kelowna, BC supercharging stop that adds 110 miles and 3 full hours to the trip. If I explicitly add the Cranbrook supercharger stop on my preferred and shorter route, the Tesla Go Anywhere web page says "We're working on getting you there. View supercharger locations coming soon", seemingly suggesting that Cranbrook location (which has been operational for a couple of years as I see on the Internet) is "coming soon". Do you know / can you guess what the reason might be?

I have no clue why, but for over a year whenever we put that destination into our vehicle from Spokane it routes us to Kelowna as well. It's crazy. There is nothing wrong, and plenty of charging available. We have made it to Cranbrook and used the Superxharger there. Invermere also has a charger right off the highway. Just go via Cranbrook.

This research is best done using ABRP. ABRP

Open superchargers by province:

Ontario 76
BC 62
Quebec 33

That leaves 47 spread throughout the remaining provinces

I got bored and tabulated these so I figured I would post it here. Unlike the states, there is no quick way to query this information on supercharge.info.

Sure there is. Go into the data tab, select North America, then Canada and even province if you like. I normally just select 500 entries at the country stage,, then copy the whole thing into a spreadsheet program (paste as text only - not sure about excel, but it crashes open office). Filter to your hearts content.

AB 18
BC 62
MB 7
NB 7
NS 2
ON 76
PEI 1
QC 32

ItsNotAboutTheMoney posted an even more nerdy solution, if you're of the Linux persuasion.

538 new stations turned on in 2023

2023 was another record breaking year for stations as Tesla opened up 538 new sites to bring the total to 2,362 sites in North America. I'm expecting close to 700 new stations in 2024 with the pace that they are on.

BC has 62 supercharger locations???? Really???

Yes. The data tab on supercharge.info is really fricken great. Says 62 matches right there when you add the correct filters.

Like I said, there is no quick way to do it.

I just pull into a spreadsheet for fun, but it's right there on supercharge.info if you apply the filters. I have excel on my desktop, so if I have time tomorrow, I'll see if I can make it do something similar to ItsNotAboutTheMoney's Linux solution.

Do they not provide a .csv?

Yes, I'm working on something in powershell, but the way the database outputs the information includes the header in every single field for every single site. I'll need to crack out my textbook tonight and figure out how to parse all the information.

What I have so far:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://supercharge.info/service/supercharge/allSites -OutFile Superchargers.csv

Just open Excel on Windows.
Hit get data -> web -> paste the url or get data -> JSON

You’ll have it all cleaned up there, and then make a pivot table.

Ah, life is so much more simple when you know the data format. Thanks.

Okay thanks for the tutorial. For some reason I still get slightly different numbers. My filter is counting a few that yours is not.

But my point still stands. The states are listed on the Charts page. All you have to do is go to that page and hover the mouse over each state to get total number of Open, Under Construction, and Permit superchargers. Getting this information for the provinces is relatively considerably more difficult.

I see Keremeos dropped off the coming soon list on supercharge.info

Wonder what the story was there.

Good to know. . Supercharge info only shows 5 sites planned for Canada now. I wonder if that site is still being updated.

Big Earl doesnt put up with any non-sense from me and @Mayoo . If any of us create a thread without a shread of evidence that the supercharger will get built, it is not going on supercharge.info.
