Canada adds 103 DC fast-charging stations in Q3 2026 but expansion slows
Canada’s EV fast-charging network continued to grow during the third quarter of 2026, but the pace of new installations is slowing despite increasing demand from electric vehicle drivers. According to the latest report from charging data firm Paren, Canada recorded 103 fast-charging station additions between July and September, including 93 new locations and 10 expansions of existing sites, bringing 391 additional charging ports online. By the end of September, Canada’s network had grown to 2,740 DC fast-charging stations with 9,615 ports nationwide. Quebec accounted for nearly half of the quarterly station additions, with 49, followed by Ontario with 22 and British Columbia with 18. Alberta added just five. While the numbers show continued investment in charging infrastructure, the pace has dropped considerably. Station additions were roughly one-third lower than during the same quarter last year, while the 391 new ports represented the slowest quarterly growth in more than a year. Tesla remains an important part of Canada’s charging network, adding 88 Supercharger stalls during Q3. However, Paren’s data shows its share of the country’s fast-charging ports has declined from 36% a year ago to 32.1%, as competing networks continue expanding. While fewer new chargers are coming online, Canadians are making greater use of the existing network. Paren tracked 3.84 million fast-charging sessions between July and September, up 37% from the same period last year.

Global Affairs Canada addresses Tesla Model 3 order pause as 33,000 import spots remain available: Exclusive
Global Affairs Canada has responded to questions surrounding Tesla’s exhausted Model 3 import allocation, but stopped short of explaining why the automaker has paused orders in Canada despite more than 33,000 Chinese EV import spots remaining available. In an exclusive statement, the department confirmed with Drive Tesla it is consulting with automakers on how to distribute the remaining quota, but would not say whether Tesla is subject to a company-specific limit. Global Affairs Canada responds On Monday Tesla stopped accepting new orders for the Model 3 Premium in Canada, both the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variants, telling customers it has exhausted its allocation under Canada’s Chinese electric vehicle import quota. Drive Tesla reached out to Global Affairs Canada to clarify whether the government has introduced limits on how many vehicles individual automakers can import. Spokesperson Rachael Dolan confirmed the department is reviewing how the remaining quota is distributed. “Global Affairs Canada is consulting with interested companies to optimize remaining quota availability and evaluate the quota’s implementation to inform a longer-term policy designed to catalyze new joint-venture investment on Canadian soil, with Canadian supply chains, and Canadian workers.” However, Dolan did not confirm or deny whether Tesla is subject to a company-specific limit. “While we can provide information on overall volumes, we do not disclose the names of companies or details of any shipments, including anticipated quota use, due to commercial confidentiality considerations.” More than 33,000 import spots remain available Tesla’s decision to stop accepting orders comes despite Canada’s October 9 Export and Import Controls System (EICS) report showing 33,069 of 33,397 quota spots remain available. During the first six-month window, from March to August 2026, just 15,603 of the 24,500 available spots were claimed, with Tesla accounting for the majority. Under the government’s Notice to Importers 1168, import permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis, with no publicly announced per-automaker cap. However, section 3.4.6 allows Global Affairs Canada to reserve portions of the quota to ensure equitable access, including for original equipment manufacturers. No such set-aside has been publicly announced. When will Model 3 orders resume in Canada? The uncertainty comes as Tesla’s Shanghai-built Model 3 Premium RWD, priced at $39,490 in Canada, has been a key part of its more affordable lineup. According to the message on Tesla’s website, orders may not resume until March 2027, when the first year of Canada’s Chinese EV import quota program ends and the government could make additional allocations available. The Performance variant […]
