There-in being the rub since at that point you've still got another 1 hour + of rock and trees before you break free of the swamp just East of Winnipeg.....to then have your mind and soul crushed by the hours upon hours of wide open space of the prairies.
<edit>
"Clean, Mr. Clean, was from some South Bronx shithole. The light and space of Vietnam really put the zap on his head." - 'Apocalypse Now' quote that runs through my head every time I visit home
It works both ways, too. Having grown up on the prairies, it took me years to fully mentally adjust to going extended periods not seeing the full 180 degrees of sky above horizon.

Fatalities happen on this undivided highway more often than not. And when someone is killed, they close the highway for most part of a day, so one should probably plan for the unplanned and allow extra time.

OMG the comments from all the naysayers is both painful and funny at the same time to read ... I don't get why soooooo many people want EVs to fail ?? I guess it's the inherent; "well that's new; it must be crap" sentiment that most share.
Reminds me of when the iPhone first came out "WTF ? no keyboard - who is going to buy that POS ??"

Hmmm part II - why does it have a date of 5/22/2018 on it? No matter how you interpret the numbers, that is May of last year. 14 months ago.
Just thinking out loud, but I'll bet that is V2 hardware.
There are likely a few stories to tell here.
None of that is "Tesla" gear. Just semi-generic electrical stuff. The tall ones are part of the switchgear, and not really appreciably different from those used at V2 locations. The smaller ones are autotransformers (buck-boost transformers), maybe slightly modified from the form used at V2 locations.

Likewise, I'll be passing through here in mid October. I *really* hope it's open by then, but every day and every week that passes sinks my hope a bit. I've made the trip along the TCH before and I can do it again if this and all the other SuperChargers under construction aren't ready by then. But it sure would make the trip nicer if they were.
By the way, does anyone know why all the DC fast chargers that the Ontario gov't is funding via Petro Canada, Canadian Tire, et all, seem to have made no progress in build out over the past six months? How hard can it be to build a charge site? I've seen entire gas stations go up more quickly that these.
The Ontario government has nothing to do with it. The Federal government is loaning 50% of the costs. A year or more unfortunately seems to be the norm for these projects. Petro-Canada sites are starting to pop-up, though.
Duh, you're correct. If I'd thought about it, I might have realized Ontario wouldn't be funding chargers in Manitoba, etc.
The only new ones I've seen pop up have been in QC and NS, and I think most of those were already in place when I first heard about it back in the spring. What new ones have you seen in the past month or so?
