SWTCH provides EV charging across Canada and the United States. The network's strength lies in destination and workplace charging, not rapid transit stops. Drivers will find the majority of chargers are slower AC units.
The SWTCH network includes 878 public charging points across Canada and the US. Its charging mix is predominantly slower AC power. Of the total, 798 chargers operate at speeds under 50 kW, typically providing 7-22 kW which is ideal for overnight top-ups or workplace charging. Only 75 chargers offer rapid charging between 50-149 kW. A small number, just 5 points, provide ultra-rapid charging at 150 kW or more. This distribution makes SWTCH best suited for destination charging at locations where vehicles park for extended periods.
Major urban areas with SWTCH presence include Toronto with 64 points, Vancouver with 35, Mississauga with 32, Ottawa with 30, and Edmonton with 22. Drivers can expect to find Type 1 (J1772) connectors, CCS (Type 1), and CHAdeMO connectors at various locations on the network.
