Going over to Canada in a few weeks & was wondering if they
are on 120v or 220v over there? ( I'm USA)

Will be taking a power wheelchair and wanted to make sure
I would be able to charge it.

Thanks,

Damn, don't ya just hate it when Google's broken?

120V, 60Hz, just like the USA.

I tried to Google, and for ten minutes all I could find
was info on electrical switchplates, conduit, and other
stuff that was no help. (guess I used the wrong terms)

I assumed I could find some helpful Canadian national
who was passing through this group & would provide
the info QUICKER than I was able to locate it.

Dang, your Google must be broken.

'Canada voltage'

First hit is a page of Canada travel tips.

Yeah, that's the problem with search engines...wrong terms, nothing but crap.

FWIW, "canada voltage frequency" (not quoted) were the terms I used.

Sorry for biting your head off -- it's been one of those weeks...

Us Canadians don't yet have electricity. We power everything using dogsleds. Be sure to
see the igloo village while you're here. If you see Steve, tell him I said hello.

Greetings,

Don't listen to Mr. Fox. He is pulling your chain. These things are
only true in Quebec.

Hope this helps,
William

The charger will be OK, but in some areas you'll need an English - French
converter

It depends on the exchange rate. Today, we're at 142.698v.

There's another problem you need to be concerned about. The US
government-mandated time changes (called Daylight Saving Time) must be
implemented by instantaneously altering the rotation of portions of
the Earth's surface. This causes extreme stress on the rocks at the
national borders, generating high transient electrical voltages. These
are isolated, and so have no effect in most cases, but can cause
strange unexpected hyperentropic explosions when charging batteries.
Try not to charge a battery within 50 miles of the US-Canadian border.

Of course. Volts is American (actually both words are Italian); amperes
is obviously French. You have to convert between the two.

Both are metric - the thin edge of the wedge against American
measurements.

Technically, I think the USA is 120/240 V 60 Hz. Or, it could be 110/220 or maybe 115/230V. Take your choice..........................

The standard is 120/240v 60hz.

It's only the idiots in europe that chose a 230v 50hz

Wrong. That's so wrong ! Fake News !
