The News: Tesla has opened a new 16-stall Supercharger station in Laval, Quebec, located on Avenue du Cosmodôme.
Why It Matters: Quebec's charging infrastructure just got a meaningful boost — 16 new stalls in one of the greater Montreal area's busiest suburbs means shorter wait times and more reliable long-distance travel for owners in the region.

🔌 Laval Gets Its Newest Supercharger
Tesla's official charging account confirmed the opening today: a brand-new Supercharger station is now live on Avenue du Cosmodôme in Laval, Quebec. With 16 stalls, this is a full-size station — not a pilot or a small satellite install — and it goes live immediately for owners in the greater Montreal area.
Avenue du Cosmodôme is a well-trafficked commercial corridor in Laval, making this a strategically placed station for both local residents and drivers passing through on longer trips between Montreal and destinations further north or east.
🔌 Station At a Glance
🚗 Who Can Use This Station?
This station is open to all Tesla vehicles using the standard NACS connector. According to verified data from ChargeHub, the station is also accessible to non-Tesla NACS-enabled vehicles — though drivers of those vehicles will need a compatible adapter to connect. CCS-equipped EVs are not natively supported without that adapter.
For Tesla owners, it's plug-and-charge as always — pull up, connect, and the session starts automatically through your Tesla account.
🔭 The BASENOR Take
| Factor | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Impact Level | Regional — significant for Laval and greater Montreal owners |
| Station Size | Full-size (16 stalls) — not a pilot deployment |
| Status | Live and operational as of today |
| Non-Tesla Access | Yes, with NACS adapter |
Laval is one of the most densely populated cities in Quebec, sitting just north of Montreal across the Rivière des Prairies. A 16-stall station here isn't a token addition — it's a real capacity investment. For owners who commute into Montreal or use Laval as a waypoint on longer drives toward Quebec City or the Laurentians, this is a genuinely useful new option.
The Avenue du Cosmodôme location is notable for its commercial context. Situated near shopping, dining, and the Cosmodôme science museum, it's the kind of destination stop where owners are likely to spend 20–30 minutes anyway — which aligns well with a Supercharger top-up. Tesla has consistently targeted these mixed-use locations in urban expansions, and Laval fits that pattern well.
For the broader charging news picture in Quebec, this continues a steady drumbeat of Canadian network expansion. Quebec's EV adoption rate is among the highest in Canada, driven in part by provincial incentives and hydro-electric power that makes charging genuinely low-cost. More stalls in the province's second-largest city is a logical response to that demand.
If you're in the Laval area, the station should already appear in your Tesla's navigation. Search for "Cosmodôme" or browse Superchargers in the Laval region on the in-car map or the Tesla app to confirm routing and live stall availability before you head out.
