Proud of my province (and my friend the Minister in charge of B.C. Hydro) for making the Electric Highway a reality for all of British Columbia! It is no small feat to have a station at least every 150 kilometres (including our portion of the Alaska Highway) in a place larger than France, and a lot less urbanized!
(And Bonus points, BCH is a heavy PlugShare user! Always updates on there on charger status!)

@chris this is a wonderful excuse to visit the north next summer.

@chris Thanks for posting this. Was thinking the same thing.
The Hydro chargers are some of the most reliable around, definitely the cheapest and now seem to be everywhere.
Just goes to show its not that hard. Just need to stop all the whining and get on with it.

This is the PlugShare map of just B.C. Hydro stations.
Grey and the orange with wrench symbol are under construction/coming soon. #bcPoli #EV #ElectricHighway -

@aeisenberg YES. I have never been beyond Prince George or Prince Rupert.

@sleepy62 EXACTLY. Also, a public utility seems to help. (We found Quebec Hydro’s network in 2022 to be as good or better than BCH!)

@NuanceRhymesWithOrange @sleepy62 in fairness, when we went across in 2022, Ontario’s network over Lake Superior wasn’t bad!

@NuanceRhymesWithOrange @sleepy62 @chris I can imagine Ford putting in Shoppers Drug Mart branded beer vending machines every 150km on remote Ontario highways.

Its the rural parts of Sask and Alberta where we had to plan carefully. Sadly can't see Danny and Moe supporting something like this, even though #Saskpower could do this in heartbeat if they got the mandate.

@chris @NuanceRhymesWithOrange
For the cost of the TMX we probably could have rolled this out nation wide.

On a related note: I’m in Kamloops this week keeping my Dad company while my Mom takes a much needed vacation, and the 7-Eleven in Aberdeen has rolled out a couple of 7-Eleven branded 90kW DC fast chargers here. I can only surmise this is part of a wider rollout for the company. -

Hmm, the app claims they’re 180kW (it also says 1xCHAdeMO 3xCCS, but theres only two towers. I wonder which vendor makes their hardware?)I may have to make a trip down there to take a look. 🤨
