Tesla Will be Quadruple the Size of its Canadian Supercharger Network

September 19, 2017

Tesla Inc. is adding nearly 100 new Canadian stops to its growing network of charging stations—a major expansion that will more than quadruple the number of Superchargers in Canada and convert its patchy current charging network into a coast-to-coast system.

The electric car maker, which handed over the keys to the first of its Model 3 EVs earlier this summer, also announced plans to double the size of its Supercharger network in April. The move was partially aimed at bolstering the network to make way for the tens of thousands of new drivers who pre-ordered the firm’s first mass-market electric car and will soon be pushing Supercharging stations past capacity.

Tesla did not reveal the locations of all of the approximately 5,000 new Supercharger stops at the time, but has now specified the coordinates of hundreds of new stations across North America, Europe, Australia and Asia, including just shy of 100 new Canadian Superchargers from Victoria, B.C. to Halifax, N.S.

While a number of the new Canadian locations won’t be switched on until 2018, the majority of the Trans-Canada Highway will be electrified—with the notable exceptions of Newfoundland’s segment of the highway and the secondary western stretch also known as the Yellowhead Highway.

Overall, the project will increase the number of Superchargers in Canada from under 30 to nearly 120.
