Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
Red Deer SC
Here are some photos of Red Deer construction site today.
Spoke with an employee of the hotel who told me that the construction company was in the process of building a third Supercharger in Alberta.
He speculated that it may be in or near Calgary.
Great update! Thank you for sharing these photos with us. Not sure Red Deer is critical as you should be able to make it from Calgary to Edmonton on a charge but maybe something just outside of Calgary and just outside of Edmonton (Crossfield and Leduc?) so we can charge as we enter the city rather than 1/2 way? I guess you could drive from Calgary to Red Deer - boost up to full then be okay until your return where you stop to top off in Red Deer again on the way home?

Having the SC in Red Deer works for both Edmonton and Calgary one day round trips. Canmore to Red Deer is easily doable as well, so the Calgary - Edmonton corridor is covered.
Edmonton west thru Jasper charging is not so good; more direct to Vancouver but much longer charge times at least for now thus basically a scenic route for an EV
Crossfield, AB has a Sun Country Highway CS-100 at the new Petro Canada on the Northbound side of Hwy 2, a little bit of a detour to get there Southbound on Hwy 2. It opened in conjunction with the Alberta E-mazing race kickoff! Electric-Car Charging Station At Gas Station In Tar-Sands Land
I agree that the Red Deer Supercharger makes day trips between both cities way more practical but thank goodness for the great work SCH has done and will continue to do with another 1000 charging stations in Canada for 2015!
I just added a quick listing for it on PlugShare - and have emailed the PlugShare support team to update it to Superchargers ASAP! (I just marked it with CHAdeMO DCFC, Tesla HPWC (Model S) - for quick visibility for now!)
(Edit December 25th): Merry Christmas! The Kamloops Supercharger is updated on the PlugShare Listing and lists the Superchargers now, and edited the description to say: "The Superchargers are located at the Kamloops Visitor Center." Thank You PlugShare Support Team!
Tesla has updated their supercharging map's "2014" and "Coming Soon" slider positions to reflect the reality that the Southeast and Midwest USA are not getting the SCs they'd hoped for by end of year. But, it still shows that western Canada is getting three more stations before the end of the year ...
