Tesla Supercharger Prices Shift at 281 Canadian Sites — 178 Cheaper, 103 Higher

Tesla has executed the broadest Supercharger pricing reshuffle in months, adjusting rates at 281 locations across Canada overnight between Thursday and Friday. According to Drive Tesla Canada's tracking, 178 sites saw price decreases while 103 saw increases, with rates now spanning from $0.18 to $0.79 per kWh for Tesla owners.

This is a distinct wave from the September adjustment that raised prices at 200+ sites. This time, the net direction is favourable — more sites got cheaper than expensive — but the dispersion by region is striking.

Ontario leads the cuts

Ontario posted 89 price decreases, the most of any province. The sharpest reductions hit Ajax, where peak rates fell from $0.50 to $0.38/kWh, and Burlington's Appleby Line site, which dropped from $0.50 to $0.39. Pickering and Grimsby also saw peak rates cut from $0.50 to $0.38.

However, not every Ontario site got cheaper. Burlington's main Supercharger and Kitchener both saw peak rates rise to $0.55/kWh from $0.50, while Markham, North York, and Scarborough climbed to $0.53.

Western Canada: mixed signals

Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba saw modest increases of roughly $0.02 to $0.04/kWh at most locations. Calgary's rate climbed from $0.48 to $0.52, while Edmonton transitioned to a peak/off-peak pricing structure.

British Columbia told a more nuanced story. Around Metro Vancouver, peak rates rose — Tsawwassen jumped from $0.30 to $0.37, Richmond from $0.33 to $0.39, and Burnaby and Surrey's King George Boulevard both moved from $0.32 to $0.37. But off-peak rates at many of those same sites edged lower.

Interior and Vancouver Island locations generally became cheaper, with typical drops of $0.02–$0.03/kWh.

Atlantic Canada hits the national high

The steepest increases concentrated in the Atlantic provinces. Digby, Nova Scotia rose to $0.77/kWh and Enfield reached $0.79/kWh at peak — the highest Tesla rate in the country. Quebec saw mixed moves, with Montreal-area sites like Brossard climbing from $0.44 to $0.51 while many other locations dropped by roughly $0.03.

What it means for Canadian drivers

The shift reinforces a pattern: Tesla's pricing is increasingly granular and location-specific rather than uniform. For Ontario commuters benefiting from the Ajax and Burlington cuts, long-distance trips are measurably cheaper. For Atlantic Canada drivers, the national peak rate at $0.79/kWh makes public charging significantly less attractive than home charging — a gap the federal budget's $587M charger expansion may eventually address in underserved regions.

Non-Tesla EV drivers using the NACS/CCS adapter path should check their specific station, as Tesla's non-Tesla rates typically carry a premium over the Tesla-owner rate listed here.
