Still no meter.. I saw 6 Teslas between osoyoos and castlegar on the number 3 though. People are making it work, and I’m glad I have my CCS adapter and a few 100kw stations to choose from

Tried again today, CHAdeMO was working great, at 42kw, but the Tesla supercharger is powered on, but when you plug in it says supercharger stall out of service, try a different stall. So same thing as Cranbrook before they turned them on

Hey all, I’m planning an officially unofficial supercharger Opening party on Saturday May 7th, at 1pm and any and all will be invited. Im planning to have test drives and invite the local media aswell as dealerships who have EV’s. If you have anymore questions you can either text or call me at...

Any luck with the station?

I thanked to the red seal electrical from Tesla at the Cranbrook location last week and he informed me he works out of Kamloops, he wouldn’t tell me what the status on other chargers are, but if you see a gray model Y with a bunch of cabinets open it would probably be him!

Supercharger in Cranbrook was flipped on today, so should be soon!

It’s online! Only 16kw though, not sure why so slow. It doesn’t show up on map yet

So I stopped by today and the 2 FLO stations are online and powered up. They cost 0.26 per session, instead of 0.26 per minute which means super cheap charging. The supercharger all have power to them but are disabled. On Thursday when the supercharger tech from tesla was there he was having...

Tesla is on site today with a model Y and gas truck, he wouldn’t say much but the breakers on the main power lines are closed, and looks like they are doing final inspection and he said he’s waiting on the contractor, but couldn’t give me an estimate as to when the power turns on. He said he...

meter is in!! All that’s left is for tesla to flip the switch!

BC hydro was on site again today. Talked to the crews and they didn’t give me any information on when the station will be done, but they were inside the green box hooking up the wires. They said after they are finnished, all that is left is Tesla to do final inspection and it should be online. I...

checked today, meter is installed, but the lines have not been attached at the top of the power pole. Hopefully BC hydro will be by soon soon!

Contractors on site today changing out a supercharger cabinet as tesla had sent them the wrong one. They said by end of day the contractors will be all done and it will all be in BC Hydros court. Meter box has been installed aswell, but no meter yet. He said it should be done soon but doesn’t...

checked by today, supercharger is definitely complete, transformer is installed, with no meter installed yet and lines a run from the power lines down to the ground. Looks like all that’s left is the meter, BC hydro to turn on the power, and Tesla to do final inspection and turn on.

No meter yet. Lines are run, so my guess all that’s left is meter install, and final inspection by Tesla Supercharger personnel to turn it on

Stopped by today, no power yet and I’m not sure where the green transformer is, no power yet but it looks like lines have been run down the power pole. Trenching has happened from 2 green transformers that look to be previously installed, already humming away with power.

Hood news everyone! This was taken today!!!!

No meter yet. I checked again today

Green box is in! No meter or wires run from the Power lines yet, but at least we have progress!

Checked out the station today. No work yet on the power pole or green Bc hydro electrical box. Hopefully we see some action soon, as this station has been done for months.

Checked the stations today and no new progress since the last update. The stations are well plowed and never blocked though, and green transformer and wires from the pole down still haven't been installed

Looks very much done. Green Teansformer needs to still be installed Aswell as paving and wires run from the power pole. Looks like Tesla installed conduit and poured concrete for 2 more superchargers for future expansion

Checked the parking lot today, still no progress.

Sadly looks like work has stalled. Conduit looks to be in the right place and not floating but no fill has been added into the wholes and looks like they are all full of ice. I saw 3 BC hydro vehicles parked right nearby, that in the past I have seen working on the Accelerate Kootenays DCFC...

Superchargers installed!!

So much progress. I counted 6 supercharger stalls ready to be installed, and supercharger cabinets are on site. Looks like the transformer is still missing, and 2 FLO stations have been installed with 50kw max charge rate. Everything is all opened up and I got a lot of good pictures of the insides.

all that’s needed now is the actual supercharger equipment, all conduit in place! And holes filled in. No asphalt yet

I checked it out today and it is a 8 stall supercharger with 2 FLO stations. I can tell by the different sizes of conduit, with the Tesla stalls being larger then the 2 FLO stalls. It’s coming along so fast. They are digging a trench along the north side today to the hydro pole and have the 3...

forming along nicely!

Wow they did so much work so fast

Supercharger is coming along nicely, however it does look a little wet, and conduit is floating in the pond. Supercharger cabinets are on site, but not yet unwrapped. Hopefully they get this done before the holes freeze over!

Good news everyone! Looks like they fenced off the parking lot between Tim Horton’s and Boston Pizza, an area that is almost never used for parking. My guess is it’s for the Supercharger and construction should start soon! I will keep my eye out

this was taken yesterday. No power yet, and 12 stalls

Checked yesterday, still no sign of construction.

No signs of contractor trailers, all that’s happened is the Asphalt is all marked up. Hopefully equipment will be on site soon!

Fernie Supercharger conduit on site! Ground should break soon, plus 20 stalls are fenced off. Hopefully it will be online within a month

Yes, I'm hoping they get that supercharger done in Revelstoke before the snow flies. It was such a choke point this summer. I heard it directly from a contractor on site in Invermere who told me that is where he is going next.

No progress yet on Supercharger. Drove by this morning. My guess is Fernie and Creston will be built out first

Supercharger in Invermere is online!!!!

not online yet, talked to staff and they are waiting on BC hydro and should be online in the next 2 weeks. I can’t wait, as without these online my trip to Banff took 3.5 hours of charging instead of 25 minutes total. The price of being an early adopter, but I’m willing to make it work.

As of yesterday no progress on Cranbrook or Fernie. Attached are the pictures of the new meter and green electrical box. Hopefully the supercharger tech will be by soon to flip the switch!

Wasn’t able to snap pictures, but were the exposed conduit was now has a bug green electrical box, plus the meter is now installed! Won’t be long until this location is live! I will take some pictures tomorrow morning

Supercharger looks to be complete, FLO stations have not yet been installed but it looks like they put in some DC inverters for them across the entrance and some conduit. No meter installed yet, but hopefully will be online soon

Progress from this morning. All 8 stalls are up, I can’t really tell where the FLO stations are coming in though

Drove by today and fences are still up but no new equipment or workers on site. Looks like all conduit work is complete and guard poles are in place. paving has yet to be completed. My guess is they are waiting now for Tesla's Equipment.

Stopped by today. And meter is installed but stations still don’t have power. Oddly there is some conduit sticking out of the ground with duct tape on it. But the station does look complete, from what I can see the only thing left to do is for BC hydro to turn it on.

Still no power today

Yes I live in Cranbrook and drive through every weekday for work. Today they have already installed conduit, I didn’t see any cables going in yet or physical superchargers or power boxes on site. Still progressing very fast!
