Construction started in May 2025, and nine months later, the site is still not open. It was supposed to open on January 23, 2026, but has been delayed because of ongoing issues with the local utility provider, Elexicon Energy.
It’s disappointing that despite it being months since we posted about this site nearing completion, it’s still sitting idle.
This is what it looked like then:

This is what it looks like now (photos taken Feb 17, 2026). Site is covered in snow and still fenced up:
We’ve learned a few new things, though. This site is Starlink-connected:
And it will feature multiple accessible parking spots:
Over the winter, on cold days, the older, smaller existing Supercharger nearby was running well beyond capacity. This new site is badly needed, and hopefully, Elexicon Energy can speed things up and finally get it energized.
The site will feature V4 dispensers paired with V3 cabinets, enabling charging speeds of up to 325 kW per vehicle. Installation of the cabinets and pedestals is already mostly complete, and crews are progressing quickly through electrical, conduit, and surface work. While construction could wrap up before year-end, utility connection and commissioning will likely extend into early (possibly mid) 2026.
Utility connections are outside Tesla’s control and can sometimes take even longer. Several other Supercharger installations across the GTA have been waiting months for grid hookup, underscoring one of the main bottlenecks in Ontario’s EV infrastructure rollout.
RioCan Elgin Mills offers a wide selection of nearby amenities — including Astoria Shish Kebob House, Pi Co. Pizza, Sunset Grill, Paris Baguette, Osmow’s, and Chatime — making it a convenient stop for both local and long-distance charging. For drivers staying longer or looking to shop while they charge, Costco and Home Depot are close by.
Once complete, this will be one of the largest Superchargers in York Region, reflecting Tesla’s continued focus on building for peak demand in high-traffic corridors. Planning and developing large, well-placed charging hubs like this is exactly what Tesla’s Supercharging team does best.
Back in August, Tesla added a rare perk for Canadian buyers: lifetime free Supercharging on in-inventory Model 3s.
What the deal looks like
Pick up a Model 3 that’s already in Tesla’s Canadian inventory (demo cars count too) and you’ll get unlimited lifetime Supercharging included. That means any Tesla Supercharger in North America is fair game — whether you’re driving across Ontario or road-tripping down the U.S. East Coast.
The fine print:
Works for your account only (not transferable if you sell the car).
Personal use is fine, but using it for rideshare or delivery? Tesla could pull the perk.
Not offered on custom factory orders, just what’s in stock.
Why is Tesla offering this perk?
Tesla hasn’t been moving many Model 3s lately, especially given how the brand is currently perceived in Canada. Free lifetime Supercharging helps clear inventory while making the Model 3 more attractive compared to rivals.
How Much Could You Save?
Supercharging prices in Canada and the U.S. vary, but $0.33–$0.42 CAD per kWh is a fair ballpark.
Let’s run a quick example:
Typical annual driving: 20,000 km
Average Model 3 efficiency: ~150 Wh/km (0.15 kWh/km)
Energy used per year: ~3,000 kWh
If you relied mostly on Superchargers, that’s:
3,000 kWh × $0.38 CAD = ~$1,140 per year
Stretch that over 8 years of ownership and you’re looking at roughly $9,000 in fuel savings — and that’s before electricity rates creep up.
Realistically, most owners mix home charging with road trip charging, so maybe you only save half that. Even then, ~$4,500 CAD is nothing to sneeze at.
Good deal?
All colors are also included/free for in inventory Model 3s. If you are considering a Model 3, this might be a good time to pick one up.
Ajax, Ontario will soon be home to Canada’s largest Supercharger site, featuring 44 V4 stalls. Construction, which began in May 2025, is now in its final phase. Crews are completing inspections, utility connections, and last-minute site work before the station can officially open.
JML Electric, the contractor responsible for building the site, has been documenting progress on Instagram throughout the year.
Tesla had previously listed Ajax among the Supercharger sites planned to open in 2025. However, even after construction wraps up, final activation can depend on local utilities, sometimes delaying a launch by several months or more.
630+ stalls, 50+ sites forecasted to open next year in Canada
Calgary, AB (12 stalls) Fort McMurray, AB (8 stalls) Grande Prairie, AB (4 stalls) Lethbridge, AB (12 stalls) St. Albert, AB (12 stalls) Wandering River, AB (8 stalls) Abbotsford, BC (20 stalls) Blind Bay, BC (12…
The first V4 Supercharger in Ontario has officially opened in Ingersoll, ON, featuring 16 dispensers. However, V3 power cabinets are being used at this site, limiting the maximum output to 250 kW per dispenser. This location stands out as one of the fastest-built and activated Supercharger sites in Ontario in recent years.
Typically, it takes many months—sometimes over a year—for a Supercharger site to become operational. In contrast, this site was first listed as under construction on November 12, 2024, and went live just over two months later.
Charging costs at this location are notably high: Tesla owners are charged $0.67 CAD per kWh, while non-Tesla EVs pay $0.90 CAD per kWh. As of now, the Tesla app indicates that 4 out of the 16 stalls are out of order.
Superchargers along this stretch of highway are frequently busy, making this new location a welcome addition. It is expected to help alleviate some of the congestion at the London, ON Supercharger.
