Well, here I am on Gilles-Villeneuve F1 race track in Montréal ! The organizers confirm that well over 320 electric vehicles are registered for the event. More than 30 level 2 chargers are installed a even a few 90A chargers also. Well organized !!
The two-day event’s goal is to offer the general public a chance to test drive electric vehicles. Here is the best aspect of the event : the volunteers are actual EV owners. This is the 2nd edition of Branchez-Vous, and also my second time as a volunteer !
My car is charging up at Bessette Assurances in St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu; Thanks! Looking forward to the event today !
