It’s a great day for Alberta EV owners – ChargeStop has officially opened Canada’s first electric vehicle service station in Edmonton, located in the Strathcona neighbourhood. This innovative service station is tailored to meet the unique needs of EV drivers, offering more than just a place to charge, but with five Level 3 chargers, EV owners can power up to 85% in just 20 minutes, making charging quicker and more convenient.

The station isn’t just about speed – it focuses on driver comfort and safety, featuring amenities such as a lounge area, wi-fi, healthy food options, and even an on-site attendant. It’s a stark contrast to the often inconvenient and poorly equipped charging locations many EV drivers are used to. ChargeStop’s design provides a clean, well-lit and welcoming environment, ensuring a much-improved charging experience.

Just the Beginning!

ChargeStop’s Edmonton opening is just the beginning! The company plans to expand across Canada by 2025, using a franchising model to tap into the rapidly growing EV market.

This new facility exemplifies the future of EV infrastructure, setting a standard for convenience and user experience. It’s great news for Edmonton’s growing electric vehicle community, and we look forward to seeing more of these stations across the country!
