Tesla has officially opened its newest Supercharger station in British Columbia, bringing a four stall station to Vanderhoof. The opening marks another step toward connecting a key northern route in the province between Prince George and Prince Rupert.
The station is located at the Four Rivers Co-op Food Store at 188 East Stewart Street East, opened on Monday, more than 10 months after construction began.
The new Vanderhoof Supercharger features four V4 stalls capable of delivering up to 325 kW. Tesla owners pay a low rate of just $0.24/kWh, while non-Tesla owners can also plug in for just $0.32/kWh.
While the Vanderhoof Supercharger is relatively small with just four stalls, it is a critical stop for EV drivers in northern B.C. Located approximately 100 km west of Prince George, Vanderhoof is the first major community along Highway 16 for drivers heading toward the coast.
The new station is part of Tesla’s longer-term plans to establish a Supercharger corridor between Prince George and Prince Rupert, a route stretching approximately 720 km through some of the province’s most remote communities.
The company has started construction on other Superchargers along the route in Prince Rupert and Terrace.
Once completed, the corridor will make it significantly easier for Tesla owners to travel between northern BC’s interior and the Pacific coast without relying on slower Level 2 charging or unreliable DC fast chargers.
