A public charging station for electric vehicles in Acton Vale

Acton Vale in the Electric Circuit

The Electric Circuit is pleased to announce the signing of a partnership agreement with the City of Acton Vale for the installation of a public charging station for electric vehicles. The charging station is located in the municipal parking lot on rue Landry, across from the train station, and is now available for drivers of plug-in electric vehicles.

“It is essential that our city supports new technologies, which meant we did not hesitate to join,” said Mayor Éric Charbonneau. “The installation of a public charging station for electric vehicles on our territory is perfectly in line with the area’s upcoming tourism policy. It will bring a new clientele to Acton Vale who will stop and visit our beautiful region. This public charging station will further improve the range of services we offer all travelers as a Village-relais.”

“We are delighted to welcome Acton Vale to the Electric Circuit, offering an additional charging point in the Montérégie, near highways 116 and 139,” said Pierre-Luc Desgagné, Vice President – Public and Government Affairs at Hydro-Québec, on behalf of the founding partners of the Electric Circuit. “Some 71 Electric Circuit charging stations are now in the region, which is located in the heart of Québec and sees a lot of highway travel.”

The Electric Circuit

The Electric Circuit is the largest public charging network in Québec. It is a major initiative in providing the charging infrastructure required to support the adoption of rechargeable electric cars in Québec.

The network comprises a fast-charge (400-V) station and close to 300 Level 2 (240-V) charging stations in parking lots of the AMT, RONA stores, Metro grocery stores and St-Hubert restaurants throughout Québec. Since its launch in March 2012, 69 private and institutional partners have joined the Electric Circuit. It will continue to expand in order to offer greater geographical coverage and serve more EV 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, theelectriccircuit.com, and mobile application for iOS and Android are updated as new stations are installed or commissioned.
