JUST THE FACTS

• Who: Tesla Supercharger
• Where: Whole Foods parking lot (3997 Hwy. 7, Markham)
• What: Construction started recently as Tesla used their prefabricated supercharger installation method in which banks of four supercharger stalls are pre-built off-site and simply placed into their spot in the parking lot, where work has already taken place to line up the electrical connections underground.
• The site will feature eight V3 stalls, capable of charging speeds up to 250 kilowatts (kW).
• According to Tesla, the targeted opening date for the new Markham Supercharger is in quarter three, 2023. Once it is up and running there will be three superchargers within six kilometres (km) of each other along Highway 7.
• There is a 20-stall V2 (150 kW) supercharger three km to the west at SmartCentres Markham Woodside, while there is another 20-stall V2 station 3.3 km to the east at CF Markville shopping centre.
