Tesla unveils distinctive Supercharger stations in Severn, Ontario
New Tesla Supercharger Stations in Severn, Ontario, Offer Convenience for Drivers
Tesla has opened two new Supercharger stations in Severn, Ontario, located on opposite sides of Highway 11. This unique configuration consists of two separate 8-stall V4 Superchargers, addressing the challenge of the divided highway and offering convenient access for drivers traveling in both directions.
The northbound station, located at Webers Northbound parking lot for drivers traveling towards Muskoka and northern Ontario, was the first to be constructed in late 2024. The other station, located in the southbound parking lot for drivers heading to Barrie or further south, was built to provide a seamless charging experience for those going in the opposite direction.
Both stations are connected via a pedestrian overpass, enabling drivers to easily cross over and access shared amenities like Webers’ popular burger stand while charging their vehicles. This setup is distinct from typical Supercharger sites that serve traffic in both directions from a single location and reflects Tesla's adaptation to the local road layout for optimal driver convenience.
Each station features 8 stalls of V4 Superchargers, totaling 16 stalls. These charging posts are capable of charging speeds up to 325kW. Charging fees for Tesla owners at the Severn stations are $0.48 per kWh, while fees for non-Tesla owners are $0.68/kWh.
The project used a prefabricated installation process, with components for the Severn stations pre-assembled at Giga New York before being shipped to the site. This accelerated the construction process and allowed for a quicker completion of the project.
The final step in the construction process, utility connection and energization, remains dependent on local utility companies. Despite this, the Severn Supercharger stations are now operational and ready to serve Tesla drivers traveling through Ontario.
