Tesla has officially opened up its Supercharger network in Canada to owners of other electric vehicles (EVs) after the Magic Docks at the North Bay and Deep River Superchargers were activated earlier this morning. With the activation we also know the pricing non-Tesla EV owners will be paying to plug in to the Supercharger network, and it’s not cheap.

Tesla brings Magic Dock to Superchargers in Canada [Update]
Tesla has expanded its Magic Dock to Superchargers in Canada with the first installation of the adapter taking place in Northern Ontario. The Magic Dock is a built-in CCS (Combined Charging System) adapter that allows non-Tesla EV owners to plug in and use the Supercharger network.
The first Magic Docks were installed this past February at a Supercharger station in New York. The installation process itself proved remarkably straightforward, enabling entire stations to be retrofitted within a few hours. In the weeks that followed Tesla added the adapter at nine New York stations and two in California, with the next installation taking place just earlier this month in Texas.
At the time we said we should expect to see the Magic Dock in Canada soon following the announcement from the federal government in May that Tesla will open select Supercharger connectors at various stations to non-Tesla owners between Sudbury and Ottawa later this year. As it turns out, the first station is in Deep River, which happens to be almost exactly in the middle of Sudbury and Ottawa.
The installation was first spotted by Pierre Roberge, who shared photos of the Magic Docks on X. According to Roberge, the Magic Docks were installed on all 8 Superchargers at the site, with the Tesla technicians using a Polestar 2 to test the CCS adapter. The Deep River Supercharger has not yet been added to Tesla’s map of stations open to non-Tesla EVs.

According to the government’s announcement earlier this year, select Superchargers between Sudbury and Ottawa will receive the Magic Docks, but an exact number was not provided. Roberge explained North Bay will be the next site to receive Magic Dock, with both sites serving as pilot locations. While no exact count for this year was provided, the government did say Magic Docks will expand to 750 connectors across the country by 2025.
UPDATE Aug 23 11:48am PT: North Bay is getting the Magic Dock installed today.
Without the membership the pricing increases quite substantially, to We also don’t know the exact locations Tesla plans to add them, but according to the press release earlier this year the focus will be on the Trans-Canada route from Ottawa to Calgary..63/kWh at Deep River or Such a system is considered a much better solution and has been gradually applied by various charging networks whenever possible (it requires government approval to sell electricity like a utility company does)..67/kWh in North Bay. Non-Tesla owners will have to look at their current charging habits to determine if paying $16.99 per month will offset the increased costs of charging without the membership.

Reviews for "Talisman Suites: A Haven of Comfort in Broadbeach"
1. John - 1 star - Talisman Suites in Broadbeach was a complete disappointment. The room was outdated and the furnishings were worn and uncomfortable. The bathroom was dirty and had a strange odor that couldn't be masked by any amount of air freshener. The hotel staff was unhelpful and didn't seem to care about our concerns. Overall, I would not recommend staying at the Talisman Suites if you're looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for a great stay at Talisman Suites in Broadbeach, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The rooms were small and cramped, making it difficult to move around comfortably. The walls were also quite thin, so we could hear noises from neighboring rooms throughout the night. The hotel amenities were lackluster and in need of an upgrade. Additionally, the location was not as convenient as advertised, as it was a bit of a walk to the beach and nearby attractions. Overall, I would suggest looking for alternative accommodations in the area.
3. Mike - 2 stars - Talisman Suites in Broadbeach left a lot to be desired. The room we stayed in was in desperate need of renovation. The carpet was stained and worn, the furniture was old and uncomfortable, and the overall cleanliness of the room was subpar. The staff was not very friendly or attentive to our needs. The only positive aspect of our stay was the decent view from the balcony. However, I would not recommend this hotel if you're looking for a comfortable and pleasant experience in Broadbeach.
