That performance is important given the focus on longdistance travel the open charger route will include a very large TransCanada Highway stretch between Ottawa and Calgary.
The announcement comes alongside a plan to make EV chargers more accessible in the country.
Tesla’s plan to open up Superchargers is now extending to Canada after the government revealed that the company will open access to some of its existing Supercharger network to other brands’ EVs.
This is in addition to previous efforts to open Superchargers in the US and Europe.
