It's BC Hydro's first EV fast charging hub in the Okanagan
Located at Pelmewash Parkway at Oyama Road in Oyama, the hub is the largest in its network as it features 22 charging spaces.
Included in the 22 spaces is BC Hydro's first 350-kilowatt charger, which can provide 100 kilometres of driving to a vehicle in about five minutes of charging. This charger also offers 'power-sharing', meaning two vehicles are charged at the same time at 175 kilowatts each. “British Columbians are embracing electric vehicles faster than any other jurisdiction in Canada and that’s why we are continuing to make investments for growth within our current system and building out our fast charging network across B.C.,” said Chris O’Riley, President and CEO of BC Hydro.
