Tesla has opened another new Supercharger in Canada this month, this time in Langley, British Columbia. This is also the first V4 Supercharger in Canada, and while it offers the same speeds as V3 Superchargers, there is another benefit for non-Tesla EV drivers.
Tesla first debuted its V4 Superchargers in March 2023 in the Netherlands, later expanding through much of Europe with additional installations. The latest in Supercharger technology didn’t reach North America until about 8 months later with the first installation appearing in Oregon.
Canada had to wait a little longer, with the first V4 Superchargers posts added in April of this year in Langley, BC. However, the site sat idle for nearly five months, but after promising to open it in August, Tesla followed through with one day to spare.
On Thursday night the Langley Supercharger at the Riocan Langley Centre (20090 Langley Bypass) was turned on. It is one of the cheapest Superchargers in Canada at $0.21/kWh for Tesla owners, and $0.26 for non-Tesla owners.

As we noted, this site will offer the same 250kW charging speeds as V3 Superchargers. That is because Tesla is still building these sites with the same cabinets that power V3 posts. As a result, Tesla actually refers to these as V3.5 Superchargers.
For now, the added benefit of the new V4 posts is the longer charging cable, which allows non-Tesla EV owners to more easily plug in with their NACS adapter.
The second V4 (V3.5) Supercharger in Canada should also be opening very soon in Kananaskis, Alberta, which Tesla was also aiming to turn on this month.
