Tesla has started construction of a new Supercharger in Saint-Sauveur, Québec , marking the first site of Supercharger Voting Winner to be built in Canada.
Tesla started its Supercharger Voting program in 2022, giving owners the opportunity to guide the expansion of the Supercharger network in areas that need it the most. After a slow start, the program has proven successful in Canada, and particularly in Québec, at least when it comes to garnering enough votes to be declared a winner.
Despite the program starting two years ago, we have yet to see a Canadian Supercharger materialize in a location voted as a winner. That has now changed, with a Supercharger under construction in Saint-Sauveur, Quebec, which was voted as a winner just two months ago.
The new Supercharger is located at 197 Avenue De La Gare, a small retail complex with a number of food options, according to photos shared anonymously on the Tesla Model 3/Y Québec Facebook page. Those photos show the site will feature Tesla’s latest V4 Supercharger posts, and based on the early stages of construction, it appears as though it could be as large as 16-18 stalls.
There are still a number of sites in Quebec selected as Supercharger voting winners that still need to be built. Gatineau, Bromont, Ange-Gardien, Baie-Comeau, and Tadoussac have all been declared winner in recent voting rounds. However, we don’t know when these will come to fruition as Tesla no longer posts anticipated opening dates for future Supercharger locations.
