Press Release

The Electric Circuit welcomes the municipality of the united townships of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury

The founding partners of the Electric Circuit—Les Rôtisseries St-Hubert, RONA, METRO, the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT) and Hydro-Québec—are pleased to announce the signing of a partnership agreement with the municipality of the united townships of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury. A public charging station will be installed this fall at the municipal complex (325, chemin du Hibou).

“We are happy to confirm that an Electric Circuit charging station will be installed on our territory,” said Mayor Robert Miller. “As part of our environmental and sustainability actions, our municipality is proud to support the use of electric vehicles in the area to help reduce atmospheric pollution for its residents.”

“We are delighted that Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, a renowned vacation destination, has joined the Electric Circuit,” said Pierre-Luc Desgagné, Vice President – Public and Government Affairs at Hydro-Québec. “This new charging station, well situated and easily accessible, will improve the service offering in this popular area.”

The Electric Circuit

The Electric Circuit is a major initiative in the rollout of charging infrastructure needed to support the arrival of plug-in electric vehicles in Québec.

The Electric Circuit is the largest public charging network in Québec, with more than 250 Level 2 (240-V) charging stations and one fast-charge (400-V) station in operation in parking lots of the AMT, RONA stores, Metro grocery stores and St-Hubert restaurants throughout Québec. Since its launch in March 2012, 65 private and institutional partners have joined the Electric Circuit. It will continue to expand in order to offer greater geographical coverage and serve more electric vehicles drivers in many regions of Québec.

Electric Circuit users have access to a 24/7 telephone help line run by CAA-Québec, as well as a charging station locator service. The Electric Circuit Web site, www.theelectriccircuit.com, is updated as new stations are installed or commissioned.
