Numbers slightly off but translates into 94 DC Chargers across BC with BC Hydro getting 65 new ones. Additionally 7-11 acquires funding for 6 DC chargers located in Vancouver, Langley, Abbotsford, Kelowna and Victoria. Many more chargers to be installed in Alberta and Ontario: https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/evweekincanada-with-more-announcements/

Investments in charging infrastructure made so far will result in more than 17,000 new charging stations available to Canadians.
It would be interesting to see if EVs start to take off in Canada due to the infrastructure investment.
