RE:Petro-Canada huge EV charging fee increase This is exactly the type of behaviour which will benefit newcomers such as DM EVS. People are fed up of being abused at the whim of oligapolies - as is happening globally with the high price of fuel, driven by OPEC+..

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.
