I drive Calgary to Lethbridge and Supercharge at Strathmore - unlike Crossiron, it's not "out of the way" since you can drive south from Strathmore and connect with highway 24 & 23.

Yes dgibbons, you're correct. In the email I got from Measurement Canada - Coleen M. Burningham - says "Level 1&2 AC by FALL 2022" & "Level 3+ DC by END 2022". My reply was to point out that "$/kWh billing" is much more important for "Level 3+ DC" than "Level 1&2 AC". I'm trying to convince...

I drove my 2018 Tesla M3 LR-RWD from Creston to Osoyoos and back stopping overnight in Christina Lake with sentry on - no problems but was watching the range indicator closely going up the mountain east of Osoyoos - had only 25 km showing at the top but gained 25 km going down with 50 km...

I drove my Tesla M3 LR-RWD from Creston to Osoyoos and back with no problems, even stopped at Christina Lake overnight both ways with sentry on - I was a little concerned getting to the top of the mountain east of Osoyoos with only 25 km showing but then coasting/regenerating down into Osoyoos...

I contacted Fortis BC - here is the request & response: ------------------------------------- Hello Fortis BC, I’m inquiring about a Tesla Supercharger in Castlegar that’s been under construction for 298 days !!! According to a Tesla Motors Club website the construction at Castlegar has been...

Wow! Older European Teslas have a different charge port than NA Teslas, what a mess! It appears that NA Tesla owners' only hope for > 100 kW charge rate on non-Tesla DCFC stations is a CCS Type 1 adapter from Tesla.

Tesla makes a CCS Type 2 to Tesla charge port 142 kW is a lot better than 50 kW on CHAdeMO, even better than Tesla V2 superchargers!

Tesla makes an adapter - CCS Type 2 to Tesla charge port - for older S/X models in Europe.

My Tesla M3 LR charges at 250 kW on V3 superchargers from 0% to 50% SOC.

Back to my original post ... Tesla supports CCS Type 2 but not Type 1 ... CHAdeMO is limited to 50 kW (essentially obsolete) and the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter is expensive at C$600 ... how do Tesla owners get access to the full (up to 350 kW) charge rate on non-Tesla charge stations in North...

Ok, to an Electrical Engineer it's not obscure, but IMO the crazy thing they (SAE) did is retaining compatibility with the AC plug which isn't even used on a DCFC except for ground and signal pins.

I checked online: CCS Type 1 supports DC + AC single-phase only CCS Type 2 supports DC + AC single-phase and 3-phase DC (fast) charging doesn't use AC Tesla's CCS Type 2 adapter doesn't use the AC pins

I've also been holding off on a CHAdeMO adapter. Tesla released a CCS adapter but it's Type 2 ... for some obscure reason most of the world uses CCS Type 2 but Canada & USA use CCS Type 1 ... the SAE really let us down by using two different connector types for their so-called CCS Combo 'standard'.

Thanks, if necessary I could get to Castlegar in my LR Model 3, but I hope Creston and Fernie aren't too far behind.

Princeton Supercharger is great news :) I've been postponing a highway 3 trip from Lethbridge, AB to the Okanagan until Fernie, Creston, Castlegar, Grand Forks, and Osoyoos are installed. Does anyone have an update on the rest of the highway 3 Superchargers?

Tesla shows Fernie, Creston, Grand Forks, Castlegar, Osoyoos, Princeton on hwy 3 ... but NOT Cranbrook!

Tesla.com interactive map now shows active Superchargers on Trans Canada :)

Awesome photo, thanks, are they ready to use?

Great photos, thanks for posting! I've been waiting for the Medicine Hat supercharger for months/years. Soon there'll be no more sloooow level 2 charging at Peavey Mart for me :)
