EV Charging
Most charging is done at home and work (places where you’d plug in your block heater.) You can use the level 1 unit included with most vehicles or for faster charging a level 2 unit might also be included or can be purchased separately from your dealer or online. Please let them know if SaskEV.ca referred you. For portable chargers we suggest the NEMA 14-50 plug for greater flexibility and compatibility at campgrounds in Saskatchewan.
Charging is also available at many dealerships, some hotels and a few retailers. These public chargers can be found with the following tools, most offer a web site and smartphone app. You can find out more about offering electric vehicle charging as a service from SaskPower.
