Electric Vehicles

We have a lot to look forward to.

This year, EV travel in our province got a power boost! Our network of fast-charging stations was complete in August 2021, with chargers now available from St. John’s to Port aux Basques.

Learn more about the benefits of driving electric in this short video.

Clean energy.

You’ll feel great driving an EV, knowing that you are helping protect the environment and contributing to a sustainable future for Newfoundland and Labrador. You’ll feel even better knowing that the majority of the electricity used to charge your vehicle comes from our province’s clean, renewable energy sources.

Cost savings.

Electricity is cleaner and cheaper than gas. A 400 km road trip in your EV would cost less than $10 at today’s electricity rates if you charged at home! To lean more, see the takeCHARGE savings calculator.

Convenient charging on the go.

The new fast-charging network will most often be used for long trips, when EVs need to recharge to keep the adventure going. With chargers located on average every 70 km along the TCH, you don’t need to worry about where to get your next charge, even in a province as large as ours.

A smooth ride.

EV technology has come a long way. These vehicles are quiet, fast, and cost-effective. On top of all that, no more pumping gas in the cold, no more oil changes, no more waiting for your car to warm up in the winter – EV technology makes a lot of day-to-day driving woes disappear.

Less maintenance.

With fewer moving parts than gasoline engines, maintenance is significantly reduced with an electric vehicle. EV owners save time and money in comparison to conventional vehicle owners.
