Where do you charge when in Meadowvale,ON?

[wayner]

I doubt the Meadowvale charger will be anywhere near Hwy 10
I'll just about eat my hat if it's not at Winston Churchill and Argentia. I'll bet you a coke.

I don't doubt you are correct - I was just going from the Google Maps definition of Meadowvale and being a bit generous with the boundaries.

Let's gamble with cokes

I thought you folks in Quebec are Pepsi drinkers?

 

[MarcoRP]

What's Pepsi???

He said coke , not a cola

Lot of us in that neighbourhood, so will be interesting where it does pop up, but it will definitely not be where the pin is at Meadowvale PS, my bet is closer to Financial drive & Mississauga Rd. And betting a Timmy's or a Starbucks

 

[wayner]

How about the Wally World at Tenth Line and Argentia? Off the top of my head I think that 100% of the new ones built in Ontario this year (Barrie, Hamilton, Markham, Ottawa, Casselman, Vaughan, Etobicoke) are in shopping mall / Supercentre parking lots. Isn't the area around Financial Dr pretty much all office buildings?

There is a large lot at Mississauga Rd and Financial with a Starbucks, Tims, Swiss Chalet, Subway and a Union Social Eatery. It would be a great location as it is 1 minute away from the 401.

Guess that solves this riddle. We know where. Now the question is, when?

"SmartCentres has installed Tesla chargers also in Cambridge, Barrie, Sudbury and Mascouche, Que. Confirmed future SmartCentre locations are in Mississauga, Vaughan, Brockville, Salmon Arm BC and Regina, Sask."
- SmartCentres Spokeswoman - Sandra Kaiser

 

[wayner]

Yes although I don't know that the article is 100% accurate, at least the part that says there will be future locations in "...Woodbridge, Vaughan..." I think that is one site, not two.

We already have a site up and running in Concord which is in Vaughan - so to have three sites in the city of Vaughan seems a bit excessive. There is a SmartCentres Woodbridge at Hwy 7 & Weston Rd, which is a likely the site for the Vaughan SC, and it is a good location, just off the 400 - although it is less than 5km from the Concord SuperCharger. I am not sure why they need even two SCs in Vaughan, especially since folks living in places like Vaughan will likely have chargers at home. To me it would make far more sense to put one a little farther north, like in Aurora or Newmarket.

Maybe Tesla's strategy for Hwy400 is to cram multiple SCs only a few kms apart as that is what they have done in Barrie.

yeah, the concord + vaughan is funny. Likely will be 'highway location for commuters; another location embedded in the city for locals.

Yes, but Concord+Vaughan+Woodbridge is even funnier.

Nothing beats Barrie Barrie. That's bonkers.

Can't argue with that. And if you are being strict on your definitions of Toronto and Montreal there are 0 Superchargers in either city. (Strict for Toronto being the pre-amalgamation city of Toronto. It doesn't have an SC - the Lawrence SC is in North York)

for me 416 = Toronto

So is Lawrence still open? Is it still 8 spots?

 

[SlyWombat]

With the updated supercharger map, Meadowvale is showing summer 2018, which means very close to being installed. The same timeframe is for the Burlington chargers and those are already in the ground.

 

[Bhodgins]

I heard rumor of one going in at Whole Foods, SQ1. Anyone know for sure?

 

[MarcoRP]

@Bhodgins There have been about 5 rumoured locations, but no progress has been seen at any of them, with the exception of Mississauga SmartCentres at Argentia Road which received an odd permit status on Supercharge.info recently. This would be a better thread to chat in.Anyone know where the new Mississauga Superchargers will be located?
