• Why was the new DC Fast Charging Station not installed on the highway?

  Locating the new DC fast charging station downtown helps bring visitors to Squamish off the highway and through our downtown streets. Adjacent to the picturesque Stan Clarke Park, and steps away from food and beverage and retail outlets, this station’s location was strategically chosen to showcase Squamish Downtown to visitors.
