About our public EV charging network

As more people make the switch to electric vehicles (EVs) in B.C., our network of public chargers is expanding too.

Over the next decade we're planning to add 3,000 more charging ports to our network. This will provide reliable EV charging for people in communities across B.C. and along travel corridors, with extra support in busy urban areas.

We operate mainly DC fast chargers and are beginning to expand into Level 2 chargers at select locations. Most of our EV charging sites currently have a single DC fast charger but we're upgrading some spots with a second one as EV adoption grows.

Learn more about how we plan our network growth.
