I’m shocked at how bad some spots are for L3. Along the 417 in Ottawa for a long time it was terrible. Between kanata and Sudbury you essentially have deep river, north bay and Sudbury (sorta) has one spot a petro with two 200kw stations. The superchargers in Sudbury are a level 2 which means only Tesla can use it. Along the 401 is decent but avoid the crappy ones at the Onroute.
Would love to see the provinces get on board too. Last summer we did a 4,000km road trip in our EV from Ontario to PEI via the Gaspe peninsula. Quebec is so far ahead of anywhere else; charging was easy, convenient, and enjoyable. Their chargers are plentiful and are placed in locations you’d want to stop at (scenic lookouts, restaurants, shopping streets). Three of the four Quebec hotels/motels we stayed at had level 2 overnight charging (and two of them were free)–and these were in small towns, not Montreal or Quebec City.
Outside of Quebec you’re usually charging in a Canadian Tire parking lot.
It makes me want to take more road trips in Quebec, so this summer we’re considering a drive to Tadoussac and the Saguenay region.
EV driver for almost 4 years, drive an average of 70,000km a year. I’ve used many of the Chargers in Toronto and East of the city.
The biggest issue IMO is the Chargers are so spread out with most having 1 or 2 stations with 2 cords each. Often times one of the machines is down and with the 3 different styles of plugs you are lucky to get one. Couple that with the multitude of apps you need to download for many of the providers.
We need a single cord standard.
We need easy tap and go payment without app signup on every station.
We need more large charge hubs staggered along the highways with at least 4-6 stations with 8-12 plugs at each.
The biggest issue fast charging publicly is having to drive around to these little hubs to find one that works and then having to set up and add payment to 6-8 separate apps. Not a fan of Tesla but they are the ones that did the charging right. Large number of stalls at every location instead of a handful of different companies highly dispersed.
