Two new Electric Circuit charging stations in the Montérégie region - The city of Contrecœur joins the vast public charging network

MONTREAL, Dec. 12, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - The Electric Circuit is pleased to announce the signing of a partnership agreement with the city of Contrecœur for the installation of two public charging stations for electric vehicles. The charging stations, located in the parking lot of the regional sports centre on Rue des Saules, are now available to drivers of plug-in electric vehicles.

"The city of Contrecœur is proud to be joining The Electric Circuit. This partnership demonstrates our efforts to make Contrecœur an even greener city for the well-being of current and future residents. The installation of these two charging stations is another of our sustainable initiatives," said Suzanne Dansereau, Mayor of Contrecœur.

"We are delighted to welcome the city of Contrecœur to the Electric Circuit, offering two additional charging points along the Montréal-Sorel corridor, between Route 132 and Highway 30," said Pierre-Luc Desgagné, Vice President – Public and Government Affairs at Hydro-Québec, on behalf of the founding partners of the Electric Circuit. "The installation of these two new charging stations is in line with our strategy to densify the network and will allow drivers of electric vehicles to stop in this well-located municipality."
