PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
A fast-charging network is a new frontier and a big push towards a greener future for our province.
Here’s how we’re involved:
Hydro has been operating our province’s electricity system for more than 50 years. We’re focused on meeting customer needs today, while also planning ahead for the future of electricity in Newfoundland and Labrador. As the electric vehicle market continues to expand, we’re excited to be a part of establishing the province’s first fast-charging network, which has helped bring our province more in line with electric vehicle use across the country, all while supporting a greener future for our province.
Funding for the network was provided by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, and the Government of Canada through Natural Resources Canada’s Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative.
How Hydro is helping expand EV use in Newfoundland and Labrador:
Infrastructure.
Hydro is implementing and managing the province’s first fast-charging network – linking our province with an established network of fast-charging stations throughout Canada and making EV ownership a reality for the people of our province. Find out more about the types of chargers.

This is a new frontier and a big push towards a greener future for our province. Investigating opportunities and challenges to EV charging across the province through partnerships and direct outreach to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians is the key to our shared success.
