Federal Government Invests $5M in 100 EV Fast Chargers Across Quebec
Jan 28, 2019
To be built by Hydro-Québec with funding from Natural Resources Canada’s Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative, these chargers will be part of Hydro-Québec’s Electric Circuit, the largest public charging network for electric vehicles in Canada. The fast-charging infrastructure will span major highways from Abitibi to Côte-Nord.
The federal government’s $5 million investment in electric vehicle fast charges for Quebec is part of a greater $182.5M that will support the establishment of a coast-to-coast charging network for electric vehicles, natural gas stations along key freight corridors, and stations for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles in metropolitan centres. This investment also includes support for the demonstration of next-generation charging technologies, as well as the development of binational (Canada and the United States) codes and standards for low-carbon vehicles and infrastructure.
