What drivers have written

“No issues. A little tricky getting into the parking lot. With many narrow entrances leading to the wrong one. Plugging in and charging with the BC Hydro EV app was a nonissue.” — Erik Hope, a year ago

“In the parking lot between Mary Winspear and fire station. There was a port reporting non functional on my charger but otherwise gave me almost 150kwh. There was a charger that was completely offline. I find BC Hydro can be a hit miss; BC Hydro, you can do better than this.” — Sam Goh, 11 months ago

“May 13 2026 leftmost charger did not work. Second from left worked fine.” — Norma Jean, 4 months ago
