Meo Electric Installs 10 EV Charging Stations on Parliament Hill
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 15, 2016) -
Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
Meo Electric completed the commissioning of 10 new electric vehicle
chargers for the Government of Canada in downtown Ottawa last week. The
chargers are located in a private parking lot a short walk from Centre
Block. They are intended for ministers, senators, and other members of
the federal government who drive plug-in hybrid or electric vehicles to
work.
The Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, is
presently the only federal minister driving a plug-in hybrid electric
vehicle. She will now be able to charge her vehicle while working on
Parliament Hill thanks to Meo Electric's stations. Natural Resources
minister Jim Carr opted not to choose a plug-in electric vehicle for his
new executive vehicle earlier this year. Carr cited lack of charging
infrastructure on The Hill as one of his reasons.
On the Liberal Party's official website, they promised to "support clean
transportation by adding electric vehicle charging stations at federal
parking lots, and rapidly expanding the federal fleet of electric
vehicles." Meo's new stations mark the first successful execution of
this promise.
The chargers installed at the private lot are Level 2 electric vehicle
supply equipment. They allow the full recharge of modern electric cars
in 4 to 5 hours, and can also top up energy levels in much shorter
charging sessions.
The chargers were manufactured by Québec-based AddÉnergie. Meo Electric
operates in Ontario, Québec, and New Brunswick, and aims to supply
customers with a 100% made-in-Canada service, from consultation, to EVSE
hardware selection, installation, and training. Other participants in
this project were C&M Electric and Pomerleau.
