Free power? Well, we went to a 1000+km journey around Canada Day and got free charge at PetroCanada and Electrify Canada DC chargers on the 401 and Kingston. It was funny, at the Cobourg PetroCan unit the charger did not ask for credit card just instructed to plug the car in and voila! the charge started. My wife said something is wrong with the unit .... I said if so it is OK with me. Same thing happened in Kingston at an other PetroCan station and at an Electrify Canada Charger at a Can Tire store. Actually the Electrify Canada unit had a display saying that there is no charge for power during Canada Day. That explained things --- until on the way home an July 2nd the Cobourg station with two chargers I plugged in and I was asked for the credit card. The fellow beside me, charging his Leaf noticed and said to me 'hey I am getting my power for free!'. Indeed he did. So did an other guy who plugged into the charger after the Leaf left. So what gives? It was not the $9.44 on my VISA what bothered me, but I called PetroCan from home and after some discussion I was credited the $9.44. The funny thing was that the customer service had no clue what was going on.

The amount of DC fast chargers that have been down for months is terrible.
Personally I have seen the co-op in Whitewood.
Did they not get a grant from the government of Canada?
When they got this grant there should be a clause stating the stations should be good working order.

I hate being forced to charge in Whitewood too, but there's a new work-around: Kipling SK now has an L3 EV charger at the GM dealership available during business hours. I was there this week and it worked fine. You have to take a different highway between Regina and Virden. Or if both chargers are kaput in Whitewood (not unusual) and you don't have juice to make it to Regina or Virden, Kipling could save your bacon. Kipling is also less depressing than Whitewood and has a couple of places to eat.

For those who don't know there's an infamous stretch of nearly 300km between Regina Saskatchewan and Virden Manitoba that is a windy, cold, charge-sucking stretch of the trans-Canada highway with only two very unreliable CCS chargers in Whitewood. I find myself thinking about buying a Tesla every time I drive it :)
