Complexe Desjardins joins the Electric Circuit to offer four public charging stations

The Electric Circuit is pleased to announce a partnership with Complexe Desjardins to install four public charging stations for electric vehicles. Visitors can now charge their cars in the indoor parking lot located at 150, rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, in Montréal.

“I am delighted that the Complexe Desjardins is providing the charging infrastructure needed to support the adoption of even more electric vehicles on our roads. With the numerous actions taken by our government over recent years, including the announcement of the new Transportation Electrification Action Plan 2015–2020, Québec is positioning itself as a world leader, in addition to fighting greenhouse gas emissions, which the transportation sector is mainly responsible for producing,” said Pierre Arcand, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Minister responsible for the Northern Plan.

“The installation of four electric vehicle charging stations is an added value to our service offering for tenants and customers of Complexe Desjardins. We are glad to contribute to transportation electrification and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Nathalie Pomerleau, Director – Real Estate Operations at Complexe Desjardins.

“We are delighted to welcome Complexe Desjardins, committed to promoting sustainable products and services,” said France Lampron, Director – Transportation Electrification at Hydro-Québec on behalf of the founding partners of the Electric Circuit. “Thanks to these four public charging stations, employees and visitors can now charge their electric vehicles at the Complexe.”
