Tesla set to nearly double Supercharger stalls in Merritt, B.C.
Tesla is preparing a major expansion of its Supercharger network in Merritt, a small city in British Columbia's interior that already has four stations. An update to Tesla's Find Us map in July showed a fifth Supercharger planned near Highway 5 and Highway 5A, on the former Merritt Visitor Centre site. A photo shared with Drive Tesla by a reader shows construction well underway, with at least 32 stalls, including several pull-through stalls for drivers towing trailers. Merritt currently has 40 stalls across its four stations.…
- Merritt would reach 72 stalls if the 32-stall site opens, up from 40.
- Fifth Supercharger in Merritt, near Highway 5 and 5A, on the former Visitor Centre site.
🔎 Why it matters: The key change is going from 40 to 72 stalls in Merritt if the site beside Highway 5 reaches 32, based on a construction photo shared by a reader. Merritt sits on the Coquihalla Highway, the route between the Lower Mainland and the interior.
📈 Upside: More charging stalls at a common stop on the route toward Kamloops and Kelowna.
📉 Risk: The 72-stall total depends on the site opening with 32 stalls, a figure estimated from a photo and not confirmed by Tesla.
