The articles state 10 locations. Basically every 60 km from Edmunston to Aulac. FLO network, so it will be their standard CHAdeMO\CCS unit many have already used in QC and Ontario. (They also have one in Halifax and another in BC).

I got confirmation from NB Power that the stations will have CHAdeMO (L3) and SAE J1772 (L2) combo protocols.
Thanks! We probably all thought that, but confirmation is better than speculation. I hope these all make it fir this summer, but that is probably too optimistic.
NB Power is pushing very hard to have it ready for Canada 150th. Late July at the latest. It's a project that they are quite proud of and they want to get it right.

Well at least these new NB chargers will make the musings on that mythical beast, the Woodstock New Brunswick Supercharger, a less urgent topic of speculation .
Yeah, I was a bit surprised that they were not announced, because all ten were ready for the Media Q an& A...

I asked NB Power about this and here is today's response:
"...we are aiming to have installations completed for the end of July. We have some announcements on specifics of that, including locations coming early July. Stay tuned!"

Yeah, we're heading to PEI in mid August...looks like we'll have to have Plan A & Plan B...fingers crossed that some of the DCFC are installed by the end of July...
It looks like they may be ready before all of the 26 "coming soon" Tesla Superchargers in Eastern Canada, though. So, let's not throw stones.

I too am headed east to NS in about 2 weeks. I am hoping at least a few might be up and running for the return trip a few weeks after that. If either of us find any new chargers in NB we should let people know here.

I called NB power today (before I saw your post).
The helpful lady didn't know for sure when DC fast charging stations will be finished, but she knew of their planned installation, and said she would send my request to the people who might know more, who will allegedly get back to me.
If stations are coming early July, that will make my August trip to the east coast feasible through Canada this summer (as long as there is at least one station not much further east than Woodstock).
But I'm suspicious--how could there be sites operational by early July if they are not yet being built as of June 15th? And if they are under construction now, how is it that no one has seen them yet?
NB Power's web site (Charge your EV) directs people to the CAA web site, which is powered by chargehub, and which shows exactly zero DC fast charging in NB.
"We have some announcements on specifics of that, including locations coming early July. Stay tuned!
To be honest, I don't fully understand the response they gave me, either.
Which is coming early July, live locations or their announcement of sites that will come later?
There are relatively few EV-aware people in NB, so there easily could be lots of construction going on without anyone noticing. Even in EV-rich BC the Nanaimo Supercharger site wasn't discovered until work was well in progress.
There is an eleventh DCFC planned for NB, outside of the ten NB Power ones. It is at the CF Champlain mall in Dieppe near Moncton.

However, I don't think it will be ready anytime soon and they've not yet responded to my request for a time-line.
