Construction of Tesla's Supercharger station underway in Tofino, [British Columbia]

Tofino, a coastal town known for its stunning beaches, rugged landscapes, and world-class surfing, now has a new addition to its list of attractions. Tesla has started construction on a new Supercharger station in the heart of the town [1].

The new Supercharger station, located behind the CO-OP food store in downtown Tofino, will feature 12 stalls [2]. This will be the seventh Tesla Supercharger station on Vancouver Island, and the first on the west coast of the island.

Tesla owners have been calling for a Supercharger in Tofino for years due to the limited charging infrastructure in the area [6]. The parking lot for the new station is typically full, especially in the summertime, with Tesla owners and internal combustion engine (ICE) car drivers alike seeking charging facilities.

The new Supercharger station in Tofino is not the only one planned for the region. Tesla is also working to bring a third Supercharger to Nanaimo [7]. Unfortunately, one of the Nanaimo Superchargers was set on fire last weekend and is currently closed while repairs take place [11].

Ucluelet, just south of Tofino, was voted as a winning location in the Q4 2024 Supercharger voting round [10]. The map provided indicates the location of the Supercharger station in Tofino, with a second station expected to be added in Ucluelet in the near future [12].

Tesla indicated in September last year that they were working to bring a Supercharger station to Tofino [9]. A photo shared on the Tesla Owners Club Vancouver Island Facebook page shows 8 V4 Supercharger posts waiting to be installed [3].

For those considering purchasing a Tesla, the company offers a referral link that provides three months of Full Self-Driving (FSD) when buying a new vehicle [13]. This referral link is offered to those who find our content helpful in their decision to buy a Tesla [14].
