A station opened on Thursday at the Edmundston Truck Stop and the other new stations are in Perth-Andover, Youngs Cove, Salisbury and Aulac.

The stations, part of NB Power’s province-wide eCharge Network, also offer standard — or level 2 — charging.
The fast charging stations allow drivers of battery electric vehicles to recharge up to 80 per cent in about 30 minutes while level 2 charging takes several hours.
