DCFC in Canada for Americans?

[Adventureboy]

Charging in Ontario is pretty tough. Stations out of service and stations that are de-rated but still advertised as higher.

Some stations have tap for cards, some are app exclusive. I have 5 apps so far.

Use plugshare and look at the check-ins to plan your route. Always have at least 1 or 2 alternates.

I have had the best success at the "onroute" stations, Ivy I think.

I have never used Electrify Canada.

Some apps have a seperate Canadian version.

Be prepared for possible charging speeds of down to 30kw in some of the more desolate highways.

Enjoy your trip!

Interesting. My experience has been poor with Ivy. Especially the Onroute stations west of Toronto. Max charge rate has been a meager 66kw if I'm lucky. On the other side of the coin, I consistently get 130-135 from the Electrify Canada chargers in London ON so of course I use that one when I travel West. Definitely give Electrify Canada a go if you have a chance. I'm heading east in a couple of weeks so we'll see how that goes.
