BC Hydro has added new fast-charging stations in three northern B.C. communities.
Houston, Fraser Lake and New Hazelton are now all home to two brand new 50-kilowatt charging stations each. These stations are capable of adding 50 kilometers of range in roughly ten minutes of charging.
“We are working to make it easier for drivers in B.C. to go electric and take advantage of B.C.’s clean, reliable hydroelectricity,” says Bruce Ralston, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. “These new sites along Highway 16 are an important part of expanding the fast charging network in northern B.C. and brings us closer to reaching our CleanBC goal of completing B.C.’s Electric Highway.”
New Hazelton is now the northernmost location within the provincial network and Fraser Lake is one of three pull-through stations in B.C.’s electric highway. That means that Fraser Lake can now accommodate large electric trucks at its new charging station.
