Electrify Canada continues its network expansion with the anticipated opening of a new DC fast charging station in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Located at the Canadian Tire store at 4100 boulevard Josaphat-Rancourt, the new station is Electrify Canada’s sixth in Quebec, with additional stations planned to open in the province in 2023, as per Electric Cars Report.
The four individual chargers at the station provide some of the fastest charging speeds currently available (Hyper-Fast and Ultra-Fast), as outlined clearly by Electrify Canada’s new labels:
- Fast: Indicates up to 350 kW of power delivery, which can provide about 32 km of driving range per minute of charging, depending on the EV’s charging capability.
- Ultra-Fast: Indicates up to 150 kW of power delivery, which can provide about 14 km of driving range per minute of charging, depending on the EV’s charging capability.
Like most Electrify Canada Network, this station has an overhead canopy to provide lighting and shelter from the weather. Consumers can pay by credit card at the charger or with the Electrify Canada mobile app (available on the App Store and Google Play), enabling contactless payment and session tracking.
In addition, the network deployed Plug & Charge technology, simplifying the payment method and allowing consumers with capable vehicles to plug in to pay after the initial account setup simply. Electrify Canada has a 24-hour customer contact center to support drivers during all travel hours.

Further strengthening travel routes in the important Quebec market and joining other Electrify Canada locations in Drummondville, Montreal, Repentigy, Trois-Rivieres, and St. Romauld, the new station places the first Hyper-Fast (350 kW) chargers serving Sherbrooke.
Electrify Canada network by 2026
