The 2010 Tesla sport car  that was brought into Canada as a first by John Henderson was here getting a EV charge on the weekend. The bright orange car with black bold lettering covering the sides was at the charging station on Voght, near the Merritt City hall. And in the parking lot used by the Farmers market on Saturdays ( watch EV users as Saturday may be hard to have access to the chargers), there are others on Mamet. The roadster was delivered to Canada May 13th 2010. The 2700 lb car has a maximum  range 350, 288 HP.

The sports car is not in production and went out to make way for the model S, ( $75,000) the model S has four ranges and battery options and is a family style sedan. The car needs to be preordered.

Other manufacturers include Chevy Volt, Toyota Leaf, Sun country auto PU that have been seen passing through and using the charging stations here.

Source information posted on the car being offered for sale.

The 500 Amp DC quick charger may not always be available here , there are adapter issues with the Tesla S, however the 90 amp and 30 amp chargers at the city public parking lot are without complaint.
