Petro-Canada huge EV charging fee increase
Petro-Canada issues huge EV charging fee increase across the country, one week after acknowledging how unreliable their network is. According to the Petro-Canada website, the standard EV charging fee for all of Canada is now $0.50 per minute. This is a huge increase from the previous rates which were as low as $0.25 per minute in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to a high of $0.33 per minute in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. The rate in British Columbia used to be $0.27 per minute. In June the cost to charge your EV at Petro-Canada in Quebec, where the majority of the electricity comes from cheap hydroelectric sources, was increased 125% to $0.45 per minute, after previously being at just $0.20 per minute.
