Last month, Squamish, B.C., became the first Canadian city to receive a Supercharger from Tesla. And on Thursday, Toronto (York) and Cornwall (near Highway 401) got theirs.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk wants to give Model S owners the ability to drive from Detroit to Quebec City without stopping for long hours to charge their car.

Drivers with an 85 kWh battery can complete a trip from Toronto to Cornwall (436 km) and Cornwall to Quebec City (372 km) without any other stop along the way — provided they maintain a reasonable speed, of course.

Model S cars with a 60 kWh battery, however, have a range of just 335 kilometres according to the EPA.

In Quebec
Tesla will soon begin installing Superchargers in Quebec, starting with the city of Drummondville, about halfway between Montreal and Quebec City. Other locations across the province have yet to be determined.

FYI, these Superchargers can charge a Model S back to 50% in as little as 20 minutes.
