Eastern Canada Superchargers

Just drove by port hope on way to pickup my car at Lawrence.... Port Hope SC stalls visible from 401... At Harvey's stop... Will stop for photos on way back... Woohoo!

Odd they didn't go just a little bit west at Clarington to support traffic on 35/115 up towards Peterborough and the Kawarthas (not that it matters a whole lot to me anyway).

Fantastic news! Another stealth construction project. If the stalls are visible, construction is probably almost done so it comes down to how fast the utility hooks it up. Fingers crossed for my Dec 23 trip.

I see a pattern here. Every time I go on a vacation overseas during Christmas/new year time, a new SuC goes online. I'm leaving on the 19th and coming back on the 10th. So I'm positive it will be online while I'm away...

So the location has an Ultramar gas station, Tim Horton's, Harvey's, and a Comfort Inn. Not exactly stellar but the access from/to 401 is excellent going westbound, and not-terrible going eastbound.

I wonder exactly where the SC's are located?

Would that be Harvey's in Port Hope, ON — Google Maps at Northumberland County Rd 28, Port Hope, ON, Canada?

I've never been there, but according to Google Street View, there's also a pizza shop behind Harvey's.

Guys said Jan 6 is targeted date for switch on from hydro. Few more picks I'll post later... Gotta hit the road.

I assume thats east of harveys next to telephone rd? Good spot should be no chance of ICE'ing

Nice; it looks like one stall at the end for people pulling a trailer.

It's right by the harveys/Swiss Chalet.... 2 min walk to Tim's and Subway... 5 min walk to gas bar convenience store.

I'm so excited! Coming from Ottawa, my stop in Kingston should be half an hour max. The same in Port Hope coming from Mississauga. No more supercharging at Lawrence in my case!! That alone should save me plenty of time!

OMG - my record is unbroken!!! I'll be passing through a few days before it opens.

Fantastic news, thanks greatly for sharing!!

So many of us have been hoping for this SCh from so many vantage points...

and now thanks to some big extra help from El Niño, looks like it'll even be in time for our greatest cold-temp needs this winter - YAY!

I sure could've used that last night. Arrived from Montreal into Whitby with about 1% of battery remaining after 30 minute SC stop in Kingston. I think my car was stressing more than me, it gave me so many notifications that I was low on power, ain't never done seen that before.

I usually stop for longer in Kingston to get more juice! That way I can drive at 120+ home to Scarborough. Extra 15-25 min saves more than that on the commute. Did the round trip from Ottawa to Toronto on Saturday and had no issues.

That's quite a different than the post above.

I've moved a few posts to Canadian Trip Planning since they're not relevant to Supercharging.

It looks like the charger house is finished! Sorry for the night time photos..

Great news - while I do not need to use them now, as I am Down Under getting ready for 39C on Sat, the intermediate SC at Port Hope between Kingston and a Toronto will certainly reduce range stress! It is about 100 Km to TOtonto from Port Hope.
