Canadian Legislative Issues

The Electric Circuit has announced an additional improvement to its network – the addition of Québec’s first 400-V fast-charge station. The station has been installed at the St-Hubert restaurant in Boucherville and is accessible to drivers of all-electric vehicles with quick-charging capability.

The Electric Circuit is the largest public charging network for electric vehicles in Québec, and it is the only public charging network to offer this type of charging, which is intended for specially equipped all-electric vehicles. The Electric Circuit’s existing network already features some two hundred and thirty 240-V stations.

In mild temperatures or ideal conditions, a fast charge to 80 percent of battery capacity will take approximately just 30 minutes for an all-electric vehicle. Drivers of electric vehicles who would like to extend the range of their vehicles have access to a variety of the Electric Circuit’s 240-V charging stations throughout the province. As an additional option, the 400-V station is available for all-electric vehicles with quick-charging capability. This option provides a positive experience to strengthen the network and meet all EV charging needs.
