Electrify Canada announced a network expansion including its first stations in the province of Nova Scotia and further expansion in Québec. Located along popular travel routes and near shopping and dining, the seven new stations will add more than 40 individual next-generation chargers, capable of speeds up to 350 kW.
The five new Québec stations in Greenfield Park, Mont-Tremblant, Laval, Québec City, and St-Hyacinthe, join the network’s existing locations in Drummondville, Mirabel, Repentigny, Sherbrooke, St-Romuald, and Trois-Rivières. As EV adoption increases, Electrify Canada also plans to add larger stations, and Greenfield Park and Laval are the network’s first eight charger stations.
Electrify Canada’s network presence now extends to seven provinces with the addition of Nova Scotia. Near the border of New Brunswick and close to Halifax, the new stations in Amherst and Bedford help enable travel between provinces.
The charging stations in Nova Scotia and Québec are partially funded by Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) ZEVIP funding.

In addition to the expansion in Québec and into Nova Scotia, Electrify Canada has recently opened new charging stations in Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan; the openings are a significant step in creating a transformative DC fast-charging network to serve Canadian EV drivers.
For customers with capable vehicles, the Plug&Charge-enabled Electrify Canada network offers a seamless charging experience. Customers can verify their vehicle’s Plug&Charge capability with the manufacturer. Charging sessions can also be managed through the user-friendly Electrify Canada mobile app, which enables contactless payment and session tracking on their smartphone or payment can be made by credit card at the charging station.
Electrify Canada was established in July 2018. Electrify Canada’s goal is to promote greater Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) adoption by building a transformative, open DC fast charging network that gives Canadians the speed and reliability to confidently make the switch to electric.
