Tesla has officially started construction on a new Supercharger station in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
The upcoming location will feature four V4 Supercharger stalls in front of the Fabricland at 10819 106 Ave, as part of Tesla’s broader plan to add 56 new stalls across Alberta in 2025, including in Calgary, Lethbridge, and St. Albert.
Located near Highway 43 and serving both local and through-traffic, the station occupies a strategic spot in northern Alberta’s EV corridor. With existing Supercharger sites in Valleyview and Whitecourt creating critical links along this route, the new Grande Prairie site fills a key gap for drivers heading toward Fort McMurray, Jasper, or into northern British Columbia.
What sets this build apart is Tesla’s use of prefabricated supercharger units (PSUs)—self-contained charging modules outfitted with up to four stalls pre‑assembled. As you can see in the photo below of the Grande Prairie Supercharger from a user on TMC, these PSUs are delivered and craned onto prepared concrete pads, enabling Tesla to bring a new station from delivery to operation in as little as four days.
This approach has dramatically reduced installation timelines compared to traditional on‑site construction.
Despite the speed of PSU installation, the pace is often held up by utility providers and final power hookup, which are responsible for the final grid connection. While the PSUs get the infrastructure in place rapidly, grid operators still require permitting, meter installation, and energization work—steps that can stretch out activation well beyond the four-day ideal.
Tesla has also started construction on another Supercharger in the province of Alberta. Yesterday we reported on the third station for Canmore, bringing the total numbers of stalls in the town to 24.
Tesla’s rollout of the Grande Prairie and Canmore Superchargers are part of an ambitious national expansion—over 50 new Supercharger stations with more than 630 stalls are slated for deployment across Canada in 2025.
