Canada due electric-vehicle charge network

A Suncor Energy Inc. subsidiary is building a network of fast-charging stations for electric vehicles across Canada.

More than 50 charging facilities will be installed at Petro-Canada service stations along the Trans-Canada Highway between Victoria, BC, and St. John’s, Newf.

For most electric vehicles, the equipment can provide an 80% charge in less than 30 min, Suncor said.

Construction will begin this spring. Charging stations will open over the next year.
