Quebec Electric Charging

 

Quebec’s Electric Circuit, Canada’s first public charging network for electric vehicles (EV), witnessed exceptional growth in 2015 with 46,465 charges taking place its charging stations throughout the year. This success confirms its leadership among North American public charging station networks.

In a single year, the number of monthly charges on the system has more than doubled, from just nearly 2,600 to over 6,300.

“We are delighted to see the road we’ve travelled this year: more and more plug-in electric vehicle owners now have an Electric Circuit card,” says France Lampron, Director – Transportation Electrification at Hydro-Québec, on behalf of the Electric Circuit’s founding partners. “The Electric Circuit’s growing popularity among these car owners more than justifies its purpose and encourages us to continue expanding the network to meet their needs.”

Throughout 2015, Electric Circuit added 217 new 240-V stations and 21 new 400-V fast-charge stations. The Electric Circuit now has a total of 577 charging stations in operation, including 29 fast-charge stations, throughout 16 regions of Quebec.
The network also welcomed close to 3,000 new members in 2015, bringing the total to 6,500, which means that 80% of electric vehicle drivers in Québec have Electric Circuit cards.

In 2015, some forty new partners joined the Electric Circuit. The network can now count on 131 companies, institutions and municipalities who demonstrated their strong commitment by purchasing and installing charging stations. By paying for the charging stations and assuming the installation costs, the Electric Circuit partners support transportation electrification in Québec.

The Electric Circuit is the largest public charging network in Québec. It is a major initiative in the implementation of the infrastructure required to support the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in Québec. The network now comprises over 575 public charging stations, including 29 fast-charge stations, operating across 16 Québec regions.
