Canada’s first coast-to-coast EV charging network

Petro-Canada, a Suncor business, is building more than 50 EV fast charging stations along the Trans-Canada highway.

The construction is set to begin this spring with sites opening over the next year. The charging stations will be strategically located Petro-Canada stations from Nova Scotia to British Columbia.

“With more than 1,800 retail and wholesale locations across the country we have the network in place to build Canada’s first electric highway, providing coast-to-coast EV charging for our customers. We’re also investing in the fastest charging EV technology available today, which will be able to easily upgrade as technology advances”, said Kris Smith, executive vice president, Downstream, Suncor.

Petro-Canada stations will offer DC fast chargers with both CHAdeMO and CCS/SAE connectors which support a broad selection of vehicles. The chargers can provide up to a 200 kilowatt charge – enough to provide an 80 per cent charge to most EVs in less than 30 minutes. The units are capable of 350 kilowatt charging with future upgrades.
