DC fast chargers, sometimes referred to as Level 3 chargers, provide the fastest charging, capable of fully charging most light-duty EVs in under an hour. Typical applications are public chargers, especially near highways, and regional travel.

Additional DC fast charging opportunities in the Okanagan region supports EV uptake in Kelowna.

We are collaborating with partner municipalities and local utilities to assess feasibility of DC fast charging locations.
