FortisBC owns and operates 42 direct charge fast charging stations at 22 sites across its electricity service area in British Columbia’s southern Interior. The FortisBC Canadian charging network connects more than 1,000 kilometres of highway between the 20 communities hosting FortisBC's fast chargers.
"As the largest energy provider in the province, we're committed to providing our customers with the energy they need when and where they need it most, and the reliability of our charging network is supporting government efforts to encourage uptake of EVs and other forms of low-carbon transportation," added Mehrer.
The transportation sector remains responsible for the largest share of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in B.C., accounting for 41% of provincial GHG emissions. Investing in EV infrastructure and supporting customers who are choosing cleaner options for transportation is a key activity for FortisBC in supporting the province to meet its future goals of reducing emissions.
