When electric vehicles first arrived on the Quebec market, many wondered whether they could withstand harsh winter conditions. Today, these concerns have given way to a better understanding: the key to getting the most out of your electric vehicle in winter is to equip your home with a Level 2 charging station.
Autonomy and charging in winter: what you need to know
Low temperatures affect the range of electric vehicles. In winter, the energy used to heat the cabin or ensure traction in snow reduces the vehicle’s actual range. We therefore recommend that you plan for twice the range you need for your journeys. For example, a 30 km journey will require around 60 km of range.
Cold weather also slows recharging speed. A Level 1 terminal, already slow in normal conditions, can take even longer to charge the battery on cold nights in January and February. To recharge your electric car efficiently in winter, a Level 2 charging station becomes indispensable in Quebec.
Winter tip: to speed up recharging, plug in your vehicle while the battery is still warm, for example after a long journey.
Choosing the right electric charging station for Quebec winter
Not all charging stations are created equal, especially in cold weather. If you want a reliable electric charging station in winter, it must be :
