Multi-unit 50 kW fast charging station near Belœil/Mont-Saint-Hilaire

[MarcoRP]

Circuit Électrique/Flo has installed FIVE (5) BRCCs at Crevier Express just off of HWY 20. For the interested, the inauguration is next week on December 16th. Here are some photos:

Chargers boxed up

Some new white-ish design, quite ugly in my opinion. In the distance, you can see the Mont Saint-Hilaire.

Crevier Express gas station and dépanneur Beau-Soir.

Dare I say this might be the biggest non-Tesla fast charging station in Canada?

 

[MarcoRP]

No. I think the Toronto Intl. Airport YYZ still is in number 1. There are 2 different locations with five each. It sure is the biggest in Quebec though.

What makes this a "mega" charger?

Chademo?

Looks like ccs/chademo combo as there’s cables on both sides. Anyone surprised one of the cables is already left hurriedly flailed on the ground by someone.

No, sorry @rypalmer , I think we are the biggest in Quebec though

You may wish to modify the title to reflect that it is 50 kW stations that will not be used much by Teslas. I actually thought a mega charger was something for the Tesla semi.

Suggestion implemented.

It won't be the biggest in Québec. The "Promenades Gatineau" mall in Gatineau already has four level 3 and four level 2 chargers, and they have committed to increase this number to six level 3 and six level 2 in 2018. This will probably be the first location in Canada with 6 DC fast chargers in the same location.

 

[MarcoRP]

True, but not yet. If you have more info on it could you update it on PlugShare? They however won't be at the same entrances. Also, this is a CF mall so there might be a Supercharger commissioned there soon.

From the photos this looks like a rather desolate spot. Do they serve any food at the Beau-soir or the building next door?

 

[MarcoRP]

It's a dépanneur (if you know what means) so yes

 

[wayner]

I know what a dépanneur is, but I don't know that I want to spend an hour or so hanging around one while my car is charging up.

 

[MarcoRP]

They usually have lunches, coffee, and muffins. Maybe even tables. Actually, it's a beer store. lol wth!?

I heard from people in that area that they are going to build a mall similar (at a smaller scale) to the dix30 shopping mall. So things will get more exciting in that area in the coming year(s).

And they will have more demand assuming that non-Tesla EVs take off as these are materially slower than Tesla SuperChargers which can supply up to 2.4X the power of these 50kW units.

Here's what's new: Only 4 fast chargers though

I like the layout with the canopy and the lighting. Is this a new design for Circuit Electrique?

 

[MarcoRP]

Might only be for "superstations" like this
