What did you do to your MINI today?

Got to use what you have available!

 

Salad at Mandy’s

 

I've seen cell-phone towers disguised as trees; when I first looked at the photo I thought I was seeing a brilliantly conceived EVSE disguised as a tree. Then I looked harder.

 

We aren’t that clever here for that

 

I'm envious. In all of Texas, not including Tesla charging stations, there are fewer than 300 DCFC charging stations.

 

Most DC stations look like this here. We have tripled down on the public charging network here. Also helps I guess when the electric company is state owned

That’s staggeringly bad

does that include EA stations ?

 

Yes it includes EA stations but I've displayed the results as a single location. For example if there are 8 chargers in 1 location, I count that as one.

The weird single 1 ON charger seems to be the Comfort Hotel in Niagara Falls, ON. I don't know why that is in USA.

 

Here are your Canada CCS1+Tesla SC location stats:
AB 57 + 16 Tesla SC locations
BC 225 + 44 Tesla SC locations
MB 22 + 4 Tesla SC locations
NB 36 + 6 Tesla SC locations
NL 28 + 0 Tesla SC locations
NS 21 + 2 Tesla SC locations
ON 308 + 61 Tesla SC locations
PE 8 + 1 Tesla SC locations
QC 483 + 25 Tesla SC locations
SK 23 + 11 Tesla SC locations
YT 11 + 0 Tesla SC locations
Grand Total 1222 + 170

There are 31 Electrify Canada locations:
AB 2
BC 10
ON 13
QC 6

 

I counted 46 dispensers for CE in my area including DC

 

One of the few benefits of living in QC !

looking at the numbers QC has a robust network

 

Yes QC has a very good and reliable network! I'd rather have reliable 50kW dispensers with 95% up-time versus 350kW dispensers with 25% up-time.

Aren’t EA stations always broken or offline ?

Petro Canada has no interest in building a network. The chargers are mostly concentrated in Ontario as well and for whatever reason they partnered with Porsche… I had dinner a few times with Porsche Canadian CEO at the time and should have asked why. It just seemed so strange. Shell built a bunch of new gas stations but pulled the chargers out of the one near my shop

There is a Charge Point near me and it’s always clogged with Taxis
