How many EV charging stations are there between Vancouver and Kelowna?

Zevvy has 1002 charging locations mapped within 15 km of the 390 km route. 252 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Vancouver to Kelowna in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 15 km corridor is 115 km, so a car that can cover that between stops can make the trip. Across the 250-550 km range bands below, that works out at 1 to 2 charging stops.

What charging connectors are available on the Vancouver to Kelowna route?

J1772 (Type 1) at 768 locations, CCS1 at 209 locations, CHAdeMO at 144 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 105 locations and Type 2 AC at 1 location. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.

Where is the longest gap without a fast charger on the Vancouver to Kelowna drive?

It is the 115 km stretch after Petro-Canada Charging Station, before BC Hydro Charging Station. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the Vancouver to Kelowna route?

ChargePoint (134 locations), flo (102 locations), SWTCH - Charge Everywhere (45 locations), BC Hydro (27 locations), Tesla (including non-tesla) (19 locations) and InCharge (7 locations), plus 7 smaller operators. The remaining 649 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How long does the Vancouver to Kelowna drive take?

How many charging stops you need, Vancouver to Kelowna

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 390 km, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(390 / usable range) − 1.

Charging stops by rated range on the Vancouver–Kelowna route
