Three charging stations for electric vehicles at the Chaussegros-de-Léry complex - The Société d'habitation et de développement de Montréal is now an Electric Circuit partner

MONTRÉAL, Dec. 17, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - The Electric Circuit is pleased to announce the signing of a partnership agreement with the Société d'habitation et de développement de Montréal (SHDM) to install three public charging stations for electric vehicles at the Chaussegros-de-Léry complex. Occupants of this administrative complex as well as visitors to Old Montréal can now charge their vehicles in the building's parking garage, whose entrance is at 330, Rue Champ-de-Mars.

"The SHDM is proud to contribute to electrifying urban transportation by taking part in this wave of positive change," said Johanne Goulet, General Manager of the SHDM. "This investment is perfectly in line with the SHDM's strategic commitments in terms of responsible real estate development. I would like to thank the Electric Circuit team who offered us the opportunity to make a sustainable change for Montréal!"

"We are delighted to welcome the SHDM, an organization committed to the economic and social development of Montréal," added Pierre-Luc Desgagné, Vice President – Public and Government Affairs at Hydro-Québec, on behalf of the partners of the Electric Circuit. "The Electric Circuit continues to expand its network urban areas. The arrival of this new partner in the heart of Old Montréal fits in perfectly with our objective of meeting the needs of all electric vehicle drivers."
