Tesla's New Sicamous Supercharger: 8 V4 Posts Open on the Trans-Canada Highway

Tesla has energized eight V4 Supercharger stalls at the Sicamous Dairy Queen on Highway 1 — one of its fastest Canadian builds ever. Tesla owners pay $0.28/kWh off-peak; Keremeos could be next.

Tesla's New Sicamous Supercharger: 8 V4 Posts Open on the Trans-Canada Highway

Tesla has opened a new Supercharger station in Sicamous, British Columbia, less than two months after construction started — one of the fastest Supercharger deployments in Canada. The station serves the Highway 1 corridor between Salmon Arm and Revelstoke in the Shuswap region.

The new site sits at the Dairy Queen at 907 Trans-Canada Highway and features eight V4 Supercharger posts, each capable of delivering up to 325 kW. It is open 24/7 and accessible to non-Tesla EVs equipped with a NACS adapter.

What it costs

Tesla owners pay $0.28/kWh during off-peak hours, rising to $0.50/kWh between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. Non-Tesla drivers pay $0.40/kWh off-peak and $0.69/kWh during the daytime window — meaning adapter-equipped visitors save the most by charging overnight or early morning.

A key link in the B.C. Interior

Sicamous sits directly on Highway 1 between Salmon Arm and Revelstoke and connects to the Okanagan via Highway 97A, making it a natural stop for trips through the Interior. Tesla first added Sicamous to its Supercharger map as an "in development" location in November 2025, then flipped the site to "under construction" in early July 2026 — a roughly two-month turnaround from shovels to energized stalls.

What's next: Keremeos and Penticton

With Sicamous energized, attention shifts to the other B.C. sites moving in parallel. Keremeos, which started construction at the same time as Sicamous, could be next to open — potentially within days. Penticton is also on the near-term list as Tesla continues filling in the Okanagan-Similkameen corridor.
