Скачать или смотреть B.C. plugging in to electric vehicle fast chargers

A $1.3-million investment in direct current (DC) fast-charging infrastructure in 13 communities throughout the province continues to help electric vehicle owners plug in and get charged.

Environment Minister Terry Lake made this announcement in unveiling the future location of Vancouver's first DC fast-charging station at Telus World of Science today.

DC fast chargers require only 20 to 30 minutes for 80 per cent charge and are necessary to give electric vehicle owners the confidence to travel between communities. On the other hand, Level 2 charging stations (240 volt) require four to eight hours to reach full charge, which is usually adequate for commuters, but can hamper electric vehicle mobility between communities, especially for pure battery electric vehicle owners.
