Road trips lose power as charger outages leave northern Ontario EV drivers stranded

Non-Tesla EV drivers couldn’t go from Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie much of June

Some electric vehicle drivers in northern Ontario say the charging network between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie is failing those who don’t drive Teslas.

CCS and CHAdeMO fast chargers in Marathon, White River and Wawa were down for most of June; the Ivy location in White River has been out of service since mid-April.

Tesla chargers in the region were still working, according to reports on the forum PlugShare, where drivers update each other on charger status, but they are not currently compatible with non-Tesla vehicles.
