Ville de Saguenay

This planned EV charging station in Chicoutimi, CA, uses Type 1 (J1772) connectors. These fit most older EVs and some newer models like the Nissan Leaf. The station is operated by an independent or unlisted network. It offers a peak power of 4 kW, which is a slower AC charging speed. This type of charger is best suited for local top-ups rather than long-distance travel. EV charging in Chicoutimi includes this future addition.

A 4 kW charging rate means you can expect to add roughly 10 to 15 miles of range per hour. This is enough to get you through a typical day of local driving or to prepare for your next commute. Because it is a slower AC charger, it will take several hours to fully recharge a depleted battery. This station is best seen as a convenience for residents or those spending extended time in the area, allowing them to replenish their vehicle's battery slowly and steadily. It is currently planned for a future date.
