“With the addition of these two new charging stations in a strategic downtown location, it’s clear that Magog is resolutely engaged in its technological and ecological shift. Every step along the way is important. EV owners will now have access to more services on our territory and will be able to take advantage of nearby attractions while their vehicle is charging. We invite them to discover our businesses and restaurants, visit the Centre d’arts visuels de Magog or the Maison Merry and its garden, or go for a walk in the Baie-de-Magog park bordering Lac Memphrémagog.”
