Hydro Quebec and a number of future thinking partners announced at the Montreal Auto Show a large EV infrastructure program in Montreal and Quebec City for EV chargers. Its a “pay as you go” approach with a very simple fee of $2.50 per “fill up”. Quite a bargain if you use the Nissan Leaf and it takes you over 100 miles or Volt which can go about 40 or so…
This is just the beginning of how utilities can partner with retailers to get into the infrastructure game, create more loyal customers and empower their sustainability messaging.
It will be interesting to follow the roll out and see where it goes. At least its got me thinking that I really need to start thinking about going electric in the next go-around of car shopping…
