Was on my way to Atlin, BC, just south of the Yukon border, and planned to charge at Marsh Lake, which would have given me plenty of range to drive further south and get back to Whitehorse no problem. But when I got there, this is what I found. Forced me to charge for 3.5 hours in Atlin on a L2 so I could make it back to Whitehorse.

My fault, though, as I didn't check on Plugshare ahead of time, and instead just relied on my car nav, which didn't say it was out of order. Then later I found out that this fire was caused by a Solterra car fire. My other EV is a Solterra!!

Thanks for the heads up, hope it is repaired within too long.
Just proves as you mentioned to check Plugshare first;)
