Lepage bought a Tesla Model S in 2019 after previously owning an electric Nissan Leaf.
But you know, now seeing the way things are going, I’m kind of feeling that maybe I should’ve left.
While Lepage mentioned difficulties with the lack of charging infrastructure in the province in his early days with electric vehicles, it’s getting better.
The chargers join pre-existing infrastructure in Regina, Moose Jaw, Davidson, Whitewood, Maple Creek and Swift Current.
Six of the eight new chargers in Stonebridge are Tesla Superchargers, which take roughly 15 minutes to give a vehicle a 200-mile charge.
When travelling to Calgary, Lepage can stop for a 20-minute charge in Swift Current, then stop again in Medicine Hat for another 10- to 15-minute charge before arriving at his destination.
Also new to Saskatchewan last winter was a Tesla dealership, which allows owners to get vehicle inspections in-province.
