DC Fast Charging Station in Downtown Squamish

Downtown Squamish is home to a new DC Fast Charging Station for electric vehicles. Located Downtown Squamish, adjacent to Stan Clarke Park and across the street from Municipal Hall, this charging station is one of 13 in a new network being built by BC Hydro and the Province of BC.  The new charging station will be available to drivers 24 hours a day and can charge an electric vehicle to 80% in 25-30 minutes, giving vehicle owners the confidence to travel between communities.

The installation of these stations marks a significant milestone for B.C.’s Clean Energy Vehicle Program – completing the B.C. portion of the West Coast Green Highway. Electric vehicle owners will eventually be able to drive from San Diego, California all the way to Whistler knowing they can charge their vehicles along the way.

The Squamish DC Fast Charging Station location will be shown on websites and apps, such as Plugshare (www.plugshare.com). Check out the interactive map for a full listing of Squamish charging stations, including the new downtown DC Fast Charging Station.

The District of Squamish is very pleased to be chosen as one of the participating communities for this initiative.
