BC Hydro has been expanding its public EV charging network, including recent milestones around 600+ to 700+ ports and new fast-charging hubs. The company also completed the transfer of several provincial sites into its network to streamline operations and charging rates.
Latest highlights:
- Port Moody fast-charging hubs opened with 21 ports, boosting provincewide ports to over 600 at the time, with ongoing additions planned into 2025.[2]
- In late 2025, BC Hydro announced the transfer of 28 provincial charging sites into its network, bringing about 88 new ports and targeting about 800 total ports by spring 2026; these sites adopt BC Hydro’s energy-based rates.[1][3][4]
- BC Hydro’s network expansion emphasizes faster chargers (up to 350 kW at some hubs) and broader regional coverage to reduce wait times and support EV adoption.[2]
