Tesla has lowered the prices at its Supercharger stations in Canada while usage of the network in North America has risen to a record high. The changes include both price reductions and increases, depending on the region.
Over Thanksgiving weekend, the Supercharger network in the US and Canada recorded 12 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity consumption in just one day - an impressive figure that represents six times the amount of 2019.
Price adjustments: Regions at a glance
Tesla is pursuing a strategy with the price changes that passes on cost efficiency directly to customers. Here are the most important adjustments:
Price reductions
- Nova Scotia: The price on New Minas Supercharger dropped from 0.71 CAD/kWh to 0.63 CAD/kWh (11 %).
- Quebec: Most stations reduced prices to 0.40-0.42 CAD/kWhpreviously approx. 0.50 CAD/kWh.

Some regions such as Ontario recorded only minimal changes, such as a reduction of 0.45 CAD/kWh to 0.44 CAD/kWh in Kitchener.
What is behind the adjustments?
Tesla justifies the price reductions with increased cost efficiency. Similar reductions were reported in Europe and the USA, in some cases by up to 0.10 €/kWh. The price increases in certain regions could be due to local conditions such as electricity tariffs or network expansion.
