Electric vehicle charging

Discover the ecosystem, programs and financing available to build Quebec's charging network.

The charging sector brings together the manufacturers, integrators and operators deploying Quebec's network of charging stations. It aims to accelerate the rollout of an intelligent, reliable and accessible infrastructure across the province.

Key points

Coordinated rollout of public charging stations
Smart solutions (smart charging, V2X)
An ecosystem of Quebec manufacturers and integrators
Incentive programs for businesses and municipalities

Quebec is one of the leading manufacturers of charging infrastructure in North America. It plays a leading role in developing Canada's public charging network.

The growth of zero-emission transportation depends closely on the synchronized development of charging infrastructure. This priority axis brings together all processes related to electric vehicle charging: manufacturing, deployment and operation of charging stations, and solutions for managing an intelligent and connected infrastructure network.

1
A critical number of public charging infrastructures to guarantee the electric transition of vehicles:
the widespread deployment of charging stations (number, territorial coverage, power levels offered) is crucial for the adoption of zero-emission vehicles. The provincial strategy for public charging aims for one station per 17 vehicles to power 2 million vehicles by 2030.
2
Support innovation in charging technologies:
the development of new charging technologies helps provide more fluidity for users by improving interoperability and network reliability, better coverage for all electric vehicle sizes, and greater integration with the electrical grid (smart charging, V2X).
3
Installation in strategic locations:
the development of charging stations for multi-unit residential parking and charging stations adapted to commercial vehicles are essential levers for ensuring the energy transition in dense urban areas.
4
Need for funding or government support:
to achieve our objectives, incentive programs and regular, coherent and predictable deployment of charging infrastructure adapted to all types of vehicles are essential.
