So where you live, what do you get charged for charging your EV?

I recently checked and Quebec (the whole province) has 53 fast charging (400 volts) stations from Hydro Quebec. Hydro Quebec is the province-owned electric company (they are pretty much the only people you can get electricity from). They charge C$10/hour billed per minute which is US$7.59/hour.

I am surprised many EVs cannot use the fast chargers. Only 8 can use it for the time being.

 

how long does it take to charge an EV typically at one of these fast charging stations and what are the 8 models that can use them? $7.59/hr seems really expensive.

 

it depends on how much kwh the system can do? tesla supercharger system can almost charge up a model s around an hour. so give or take that's like 10 bucks for ~200 miles. that's not very expensive

 

Tesla Model S and X. Nissan Leaf. Those are the only 3 from the top of my head.

I did find that it would take 30 mins to get an 80% charge with the 400v.

One thing I left out, depending where the charger is located you may need to pay for parking.

Hydro Quebec did inform me that they are working on more fast charging stations.

 

for tesla i have to give it to them on the supercharger stations. makes quite a big difference

and yeah, 30 mins to get to 80%. that's a lot of miles for 4 bucks
