Tesla Doubling Port Hope Supercharger to 16 Stalls With New V4 Build
Construction is underway on eight new V4 Supercharger stalls at the Port Hope, Ontario station on Telephone Road just off Highway 401 — doubling the site from 8 to 16 stalls and adding modern high-power hardware to a busy Toronto–eastern Ontario corridor stop.
Tesla is expanding its Supercharger network in Ontario, with construction underway on eight new V4 charging stalls at its existing Port Hope station. Drive Tesla Canada reported the build on September 24, 2026, citing photos shared by reader Dale C.
Where and what
The expansion is taking place at the existing Supercharger location on Telephone Road, just off Highway 401, beside Harvey's and Free Topping Pizza. The site currently has eight Supercharger stalls capable of delivering up to 150 kW, making it a convenient charging stop for Tesla owners travelling between Toronto and eastern Ontario.
Based on the construction activity, Tesla appears to be adding eight new V4 charging posts immediately west of the existing chargers, which sit on the eastern side of the parking lot — doubling the site's capacity from eight to 16 charging stalls.
Why the expansion matters
- Corridor relief: Port Hope sits roughly 100 km east of Toronto on Canada's busiest highway, where holiday-weekend Supercharger queues are a recurring complaint among Ontario Tesla drivers.
- V4 hardware: The new stalls are V4 posts, which support up to 250 kW peak charging and include the longer cables needed for non-Tesla EVs using NACS adapters.
- Network momentum: The Port Hope build continues a busy stretch for Tesla's charging network in Ontario and across Canada. Earlier in September, Tesla rewrote Supercharger pricing at more than 200 Canadian sites, and the company has been expanding V4 hardware nationwide — from new stations in Ottawa and London to northern-BC openings in Vanderhoof, Terrace and Prince Rupert.
What drivers should know
The existing eight stalls remain operational during construction. Once complete, the 16-stall site will be one of the larger V4 installations on the Highway 401 corridor between Toronto and Kingston. Drivers should check the Tesla app or in-car navigation for live stall availability and any temporary access changes during the build.
