This initiative is in line with our ongoing desire to improve our business practices, educate our community and be a model for other educational institutions,” said Michel Baillargeon, General Manager of Collège Laval.

“We are delighted to welcome Collège Laval, an institution with a long-standing tradition of community involvement and a strong commitment to sustainable development,” said France Lampron, Director – Transportation Electrification at Hydro-Québec on behalf of the founding partners of the Electric Circuit. “With these public charging stations, the college encourages the use of electric vehicles, while contributing to develop the network, which now has 22 public charging stations in Laval.” »
