Tesla Supercharger

Overview

Right on Connaught Drive in the Jasper townsite, this Supercharger is the park’s EV pit stop—fast, central, and surrounded by everything you might want while you top up. It opened in October 2021 and is notable as the first Supercharger installed inside a Canadian national park. Expect mountain views while you charge and an easy stroll to food and supplies.

What’s here

• 8 Tesla V3 Superchargers for quick turnarounds.
• Additional DC fast chargers for non‑Tesla EVs on the same pad.
• Simple in-and-out layout along the rail side of the street.

Nearby conveniences

Nesters Market sits just across the street for snacks and a resupply; cafés, restaurants, and more shops are within a block or two. If you need a restroom, use nearby businesses (grocery, gas station, or restaurants) while you charge.

Wildlife note

Jasper’s townsite isn’t immune to wildlife—elk and deer regularly wander through. Enjoy the moment from a distance and give animals the right of way.

Why it stands out

Beyond the location, the V3 speeds make this one of the most efficient stops in the Rockies. It’s central enough to pair charging with a meal or grocery run, and the mountain backdrop makes even a 15–20 minute session feel like part of the trip.

Best time to visit

Open 24/7. Midday and early evening in peak summer are busiest; mornings or later evenings are the smoothest for snagging an open stall. If you’re rolling through at lunchtime, plan to grab food while you wait just in case it’s hopping.

Practical tips

• If it’s busy, sessions are usually short—hang tight and rotate in.
• Mountain weather changes fast; keep a light layer handy while you stretch your legs.
• For longer parking or a slower top-up, the townsite has Level 2 options nearby as a backup.
