Les historiens écriront que les Canadiens auront dû patienter jusqu’au 11 juillet 2014 pour enfin goûter à leur premier SUPERCHARGER!
Tesla Motors vient d’annoncer vers 21h00, heure de l’Est, que la première SUPERBORNE était opérationnelle à Squamish en Colombie-Britannique!

De plus, la SUPERBORNE de Toronto sera aussi opérationnelle en juillet, donc dans moins de 20 jours. Le site de CORNWALL en Ontario devrait être en ligne seulement quelques jours après.
Malheureusement, le Québec, avec le site de DRUMMONDVILLE, sera bon dernier … au courant du mois d’août si les échéanciers prévus sont respectés. En guise de consolation, on pourra aller profiter du Supercharger de Cornwall qui est à proximité de Montréal.
LA GLACE EST ENFIN «CASSÉE» … AMENEZ- EN DES SUPERBORNES CHEZ NOUS SVP! 🙂
Voici le communiqué original de Tesla Motors (en anglais):
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
We are pleased to announce the first Canadian Supercharger Station in Squamish, BC is now open. This is an important milestone and we could not have done it without the help of our owners and supporters. We encourage your continued support by writing, emailing, or calling utility companies and local government kindly letting them know how important Supercharging is for you and local communities.
We continue to push forward to ensure that the major Canadian routes on our 2014 map are enabled as quickly as possible.
– Eastern Canada:
o Priority routes: Toronto – Montreal, Montreal – Quebec City, Toronto – North Bay (via Barrie)
o Our first site in Toronto will break ground in July, and we’ll push this through construction as fast as possible.
o Cornwall, ON is on schedule to break ground shortly thereafter. Other sites will open throughout the Summer depending on permit and utility company timing.
– Western Canada:
o Priority routes: Vancouver – Whistler, Vancouver – Banff, Calgary – Edmonton
o Squamish, BC, our first Canadian Supercharger site, is now open.
o Hope, BC is poised to move quickly, pending utility company support. Other sites will open throughout the Summer depending on permit and utility company timing.
o Target sites have been selected for the remaining 4 sites along the Western Canada routes and we are now into the utility and site design phase.
As we navigate through zoning, permitting, and utility company processes, we continue our policy to communicate firm timing and locations once we and our partners are sure a site will be open.
