Tesla has started construction on a new Supercharger station in Moncton, New Brunswick — its seventh location in the province.
While this Supercharger was not listed on Tesla’s official map of planned locations, photos shared on the New Brunswick EV owners Facebook group by Sebastien O. show 8 V4 (325kW) stalls are going in at 50 Granite Drive, just off the Trans-Canada Highway, providing quick access for travelers passing through the busy Moncton corridor.
Speeding up the construction progress, Tesla is installing their prefabricated Supercharger units (PSUs). Instead of assembling everything on location, these PSUs are constructed and fully wired in a controlled factory environment before being shipped to the installation site. Each PSU comes mounted on a concrete base with integrated power cables, conduits, and stalls already in place.
Once delivered, the prefabricated slabs are lowered into position, connected to the local grid, and commissioned within days. Tesla has previously demonstrated that a full Supercharger site can go from delivery to operational status in as little as four days using this approach — a dramatic improvement over traditional on-site builds that can sometimes take months.
The Moncton site’s use of V4 hardware also brings higher charging speeds and improved accessibility, including longer cables designed to accommodate non-Tesla vehicles that use the North American Charging Standard (NACS).
The new Moncton Supercharger will join existing New Brunswick sites in Aulac, Lincoln, Quispamsis, Saint-Léonard, Salisbury, and Woodstock, expanding Tesla’s Supercharger network across the province.
While there’s no confirmed opening date yet, the use of prefabricated Superchargers suggests owners won’t have to wait long before the site goes live, so long as there is no delay from the utility company to make the connection to the grid.
