Road trip

Toronto to Ottawa in a Tesla.

Toronto to Ottawa is about 450 km one way. Here's how I'd do it in a Model Y Standard (463 km rated range), with real Supercharger locations along the way.

Charging stops

Always let the car's navigation pick and precondition for stops; it shows live stall availability and price.

Approximate cost

450 km × 15.4 kWh/100 km ≈ 69 kWh. If all of it came from Superchargers at $0.30–$0.55/kWh, that's about $21–$38 one way. Leave home at 100% and you'll Supercharge less. Winter and highway speed raise consumption, so treat this as a summer estimate. Details: Supercharger cost per km.

Notes

Distance is approximate and depends on route (401 + 416 or Hwy 7). Check Ottawa Supercharger prices in the app; peak and off-peak rates differ.

I film all of this on my own 2026 Model Y Standard. Watch on The Electric Standard on YouTube.
