EV sites transferring to BC Hydro in parts of northern BC

BC Hydro will have more EV charging sites under its name, surpassing 700 charging ports.

The 28 EV sites are located along highway rest stops and key travel corridors, and include a mix of fast chargers and Level 2 chargers.

One of the sites is on Highway 16, 120 kilometres east of Prince George at the Slim Creek Rest Area, with another at the Cluculz Rest Area on Highway 16, east of Vanderhoof.

The sites would transition to BC Hydro’s energy-based rates.

BC Hydro said the expansion incorporates sites that were previously operated by the Ministry of Transportation and Transit.
