Circuit Électrique partnering up with ABB

[MarcoRP]

I read about in a Tweet yesterday from the AVEQ, which said that the Circuit Électrique has disclosed deals with AddEnergie and ABB to build 300 Fast chargers across the province. Now what I am worried about with these potential chargers with previous experiences of these ABB chargers not working well (KSI, AZRA) that it might be the same thing with the new C.É. chargers (see photo below)

Is AddEnergie not going to make their own fast chargers anymore?

Hope not. They’re not beautiful but work well.

In the press release, it says both ABB and AddEnergie will be supplying DC Quick Charge stations for the Electric Circuit.

It is true that the ABB Units on the AZRA and KSI/myevroute networks have an atrocious history of poor reliability, but most of that may be due to AZRA and KSI not spending on maintenance.

This is the first actual ABB/CÉ charger I see in a photo, at the Caisse Desjardins Saint-Rémi, which should be online soon. Photo from PlugShare
