Full article at:Petro Canada, formerly a state-owned oil company in Canada but now part of Suncor, becomes the latest oil company to get involved in electric vehicle charging.
They are starting to deploy their own electric vehicle chargers at gas stations – and they are not kidding around when it comes to the charge rate.

Now Suncor is also getting involved and they have deployed their first ‘Petro Canada-branded’ EV chargers at a gas station n Milton, Ontario.
Interestingly, the company is deploying some serious power – unlike what many third party networks have been doing in the past.
Local EV owner Luke Chau stopped by the station and reported back to Electrek:
“There are two stations. Each station has two plugs. The CCS has a label 200 kW and the CHAdeMO one is 100 kwW So far they are testing and getting feedback so there is no cost to charge. I only have a 2018 leaf so can’t tell if the 100 kW is true as the Leaf’s max charge rate when the temp is not too hot is 45 kW.”
