In Canada, Tesla is testing a new app feature that adds Destination Chargers to the app, which appear alongside Tesla's own Superchargers.

To accommodate the growing list of charging solutions, Tesla is also introducing the ability to filter chargers by power, type, and available amenities.

Tesla has also added a sort option that lets you sort the list of nearby chargers by availability, distance, or power.

Tesla often tests new features in a specific region before making them more widely available in the future, and that will likely be the case with this new functionality.
