Tesla has quietly rolled out new Supercharger pricing structures across Canada, introducing off-peak rates in select locations and adjusting kWh-based pricing in others. In another more interesting move, Tesla has also reverted to per-minute Supercharger pricing in some provinces.
Off-Peak Rates
According to reports from our readers, Superchargers in Alberta now have off-peak rates. Both the Edmonton and Superchargers are now offering off-peak pricing, with rates dropping to $0.59/kWh during early morning hours and rising to $0.66/kWh during peak times. Most other Alberta locations have seen minor decreases from $0.67 to $0.65/kWh.
Tesla first introduced off-peak rates in Canada in 2023.

Price Adjustments
Quebec users are reporting some of the biggest benefits. Several Superchargers there have seen up to 25% reductions in off-peak rates, although there are modest $0.02/kWh increases during high-demand hours.
In Saskatchewan, Supercharger rates in Regina have increased slightly from $0.67 to $0.71/kWh. Ontario, on the other hand, has seen minor increases at some locations, including a jump from $0.44 to $0.48/kWh at certain urban stations like Toronto’s Lakeshore Blvd W location.
British Columbia has also seen a mix of reductions, with places like Whistler dropping from $0.50 to $0.48/kWh, and other locations such as Penticton and West Kelowna seeing similar slight decreases.
Per-Minute Billing
Meanwhile, some provinces have reverted to per-minute billing. Since Tesla opened its first Supercharger in Canada in 2014, the company billed owners by the minute. This was seen as unfair because environmental factors, along with differing charging capabilities between vehicles, meant it took longer for some to charge than others, leading to inequities in how much owners were being billed for consuming the same amount of electricity.
That changed in early 2023 when Tesla received federal approval from Measurement Canada to bill owners by how much energy is put into your vehicle (per kWh), much like how you pay for how much gas you put in your car.
For an unknown reason, Supercharger fees in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island (PEI) are now back to per-minute. The fees are also structured by charging speed, with different costs for 0–60 kW, 60–100 kW, and 100–150 kW, the same structure that was used before Tesla’s transition to kWh-based pricing.
We have reached out to Tesla for comment as to the reason behind the change, and we will update this article if we get a response.
