Petro-Canada’s website reveals $0.33 per minute EV charging cost in Ontario

In 2019, Petro-Canada announced its intentions to make an electric highway across Canada. And in December Petro completed a string of 50 electric vehicles fast-charge stations that stretch across Canada from Nova Scotia to British Columbia.

Since the launch of these EV charging stations, drivers have been able to use these stations for free. However, Petro-Canada’s website said they’d only be free until the new year. Now Petro’s site reveals that they are now charging 0.33 per minute. So for a 30-minute charge, which Petro says is the average time that customers need to charge their EV stations (either using a CCS or a CHAdeMO connection), it will cost customers $9.90.

One should note that in the ‘Terms and Conditions,’ the website reads: “Pricing is subject to change and may vary per province. Refer to the screen at each EV charger for the most up-to-date price.”

Tesla’s pricing structure is a bit more expensive, for comparison.

According to the company’s website, it costs 0.44 per minute to charge above 60kW. However, Petro’s CCS currently allows connection allows up to 350kW at most of the company’s locations, and CHAdeMO can get up to 100kW.

To pay you’ll need a debit or credit card with tap-enabled or you can use Google Pay or Apple Pay if your phone is NFC-enabled.

Additionally, all plug-in level 3 charging EVs that have either a CCS or a CHADdeMO connection are compatible with Petro’s stations. However, Tesla Model S and X owners will need to use a CHAdeMO adaptor that’s available through the manufacturer, according to Petro’s website.
