More ultra-fast EV charging stations to be installed in the province

The provincail government and NL Hydro have announced an additional investment of $3.8 million to expand the province’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure network. NL Hydro has also invested $463,000 to support this expansion.

The project will see the construction of four fast charging stations in 2026 in L’Anse-au-Loup and Port Hope Simpson—the first ever EV fast chargers located in Southern Labrador.

This project will also see an additional 10 new Ultra-Fast EV chargers installed in 2026. These will be among the fastest in North America and will be the fastest in Atlantic Canada, capable of charging compatible EVs to up to 80 per cent in as little as 20 minutes.

These new chargers will be located in St John’s East, Carbonear, Grand Falls-Windsor, Corner Brook, and Hawke’s Bay.

Completion of this project will boost EV charging capacity and bring the total number of public Fast EV chargers to 62, which includes 21 Ultra-Fast EV chargers in locations throughout the province.
