Tesla Reverses Some Supercharger Price Hikes in Canada While Other Sites Rise

Less than two weeks after its last pricing round, Tesla has adjusted Supercharger rates across Canada again — Calgary and Edmonton drop to $0.48/kWh, while Nova Scotia hits $0.75/kWh peak. 240 locations changed, 170 up, 70 down.

Tesla Reverses Some Supercharger Price Hikes in Canada While Other Sites Rise

Tesla has adjusted Supercharger prices across Canada for the second time in less than two weeks, leaving drivers facing a mixed bag of increases and decreases depending on where they charge. A review by Drive Tesla Canada found rates changed at 240 locations — 170 went up, 70 went down, and 10 held steady.

Biggest drops: Alberta urban centres

The most significant relief comes in Calgary and Edmonton, where Tesla owners now pay $0.48/kWh, down from $0.57 after the September 11 increase. Before that hike, those same stations charged $0.51/kWh — meaning Alberta drivers are now paying less than they were two weeks ago.

Non-Tesla drivers using the NACS adapter path see even steeper savings in Calgary: rates fell from $0.82 to $0.66/kWh.

Saskatoon also dropped notably, from $0.54 to $0.48/kWh. Similar cuts appeared across other major cities, while highway and rural locations generally saw smaller increases of one or two cents.

Biggest climbs: Atlantic Canada

Nova Scotia continues to get more expensive. Enfield's peak rate has climbed from $0.64 before September 11 to $0.71, and has now seen another increase to $0.75/kWh. Non-Tesla drivers at Digby face an even higher rate of $1.01/kWh, up from $0.96/kWh previously.

Ottawa: mixed signals

Ottawa saw divergent changes at different stations. Some locations dropped to $0.50/kWh during peak hours, while Campeau Drive and Boundary Road increased to $0.55/kWh.

What this means for Canadian drivers

The practical takeaway is that Supercharger pricing is genuinely dynamic — checking the app or in-car navigation before a session matters more than remembering last month's rate. The widening gap between peak and off-peak pricing also strengthens the case for comparing home charging against public fast charging costs, since even the largest increases are billed only during peak windows.

For a rough sense of scale: a 50 kWh top-up at Enfield's new $0.75 peak rate costs about $37.50, versus $32 at the old rate and $25.50 at the pre-September rate.

5 min read

DesRosiers recorded 168,000 new light vehicle sales in August 2026, up 5.4% from a year earlier, with nine of ten provinces posting gains. Only two provinces are in positive territory for the full year so far — a reminder that Canada's overall auto recovery remains uneven.
