Tesla Opens Canada's Northernmost Supercharger in Wandering River, Alberta

Tesla's newest Supercharger in Wandering River, Alberta, is now open, taking over from Grande Prairie as the northernmost location in the company's Canadian charging network. The eight-stall V4 station, located at the Shell on 101 1st Street just off Highway 63, came online Tuesday after a construction process that was first spotted more than a year ago.

Station details and pricing

  • Location: Shell, 101 1st Street, Wandering River, AB (just off Highway 63)
  • Stalls: 8 V4 Superchargers
  • Pricing: $0.50/kWh for Tesla drivers; $0.71/kWh for non-Tesla EVs (NACS adapter available)
  • Connector: V4 (NACS) with CCS adapter for non-Tesla vehicles

Closing the Highway 63 gap

Wandering River sits roughly 400 km north of Edmonton along Highway 63, the primary route to the oil-sands communities of Fort McMurray and Athabasca. Before this station opened, northern Alberta EV drivers faced a significant charging gap between the Grande Prairie Supercharger and the next major hub. With Wandering River now live and a Fort McMurray Supercharger already under construction (work began in July), Tesla is addressing what has been one of the most requested routes on its Canadian Supercharger map.

What's next for northern Alberta

Once the Fort McMurray station opens, Wandering River will hand over its "northernmost" title. Tesla has not announced a specific opening date for Fort McMurray but the construction was well advanced as of mid-2026. Combined with the recently completed Lethbridge Supercharger in southern Alberta, the province now has three active or near-active Supercharger sites spanning most of the province's north-south corridor.

For drivers planning a cross-Canada road trip or an oil-sands commute, the Wandering River station eliminates the longest single-leg uncharged segment in western Canada's Supercharger network.
