Expanding Nova Scotia’s Fast Charging Network

Nova Scotia Power, in partnership with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the Nova Scotia Department of Energy, is expanding the province’s fast-charging network to make EV travel more convenient, reliable, and accessible. Fifteen (15) new Level 3 DC fast-charging locations will open along major highways and in rural communities, helping EV drivers travel with confidence across the province.

Yarmouth has been selected as one of 15 locations. The stations will be installed in the Brown Street parking lot, with the project kicking off the week of May 12th.

Disruptions and Closures Expected

The installation project is expected to take approximately 4-6 weeks. During that time, the public can expect the lot to be partially closed, in particular, at the Hawthorne Street entry/exit. Also, there will be six spaces fenced off during this time, which will become four EV Charging spaces. Also, for 2-3 days the sidewalk on Hawthorne will be blocked off.

New parking spaces are being proposed to maintain as much parking capacity as possible, besides adding EV fast charging spaces.

Connecting Nova Scotia with Fast Charging Stations

These new charging stations provide:

• 24/7 Availability at all locations.

• 30 new fast chargers at 15 locations across Nova Scotia, ensuring reliable travel options for drivers, each capable of charging two vehicles at once.

• Strategic placement no further than 140km apart to reduce range anxiety.

• Fully accessible sites at convenient locations near major highways, restaurants, and attractions.

• Power sharing capability allowing:

• One vehicle to charge up to 180 kW per charger.

• Two vehicles to charge up to 90 kW per charger.

• Real-time charger availability via the ChargeLab mobile app.

• Multiple activation and payment options, no account or app required.

• Charging cost: $0.60 per kWh + HST.

• Compatible with CCS and NACS connectors at most locations.
