Behind the Scenes: The Electric & Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle Shows in Montreal & Quebec

One of the perks of being an attendee this year was the ability to participate in the pre-sale of the ChargeHub Passport—a highly anticipated product launching this Fall. The ChargeHub Passport will permit you to seamlessly pay for public charging sessions using the application of your choice. Until Passport is officially launched, you can access the ChargeHub map which shows you charging networks and stations all throughout North America here: Charging stations map for EV on your smartphone.

Simultaneously, we had a raffle going on with Hyundai Canada which allowed us to offer a special giveaway raffle to all attendants of the show. If you signed up at their kiosk, you had the chance to receive one of two $1,000 prizes to be used at ChargeHub’s online store.

Two weeks later, it was Quebec City’s turn to host its Electric & Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle Show. The convention was held at Centre des foires and although it was a smaller scale than the Olympic Stadium of Montreal, it had everything the Montreal show had to offer; many different kiosks and a test drive track. ChargeHub was again present for the full weekend, and ready to hand out prizes and run raffles.

At the Centre des foires, the carpet looked like a road with yellow dotted lines paving the way for attendees between kiosks. Representatives from companies such as ChargeHub, Hyundai Canada, and EVduty are ready to answer all your questions about electric vehicles and charging, to installation, maintenance and any other concerns you may have. 

In both Montreal and Quebec City, our team was ready to answer all questions regarding home charging, such as how to install a level 2 charger and what are the benefits of a level 2 home charger. Other frequently asked questions included how much it costs to charge an electric vehicle from home, and what are the available government rebates.. Attendees also wanted to know how to charge their car during road trips on the go, and what the best choice of home charger is for outdoor installation.

Overall, it was a great convention to kick off the first of many in-person events, with a great turnout and many people wanting to know more about EV driving.

If you missed  the Electric & Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle Shows, we hope to see you next time! And remember, for anyone still curious to learn about EVs before the next conventions, ChargeHub is always here to help you with any questions or concerns you may have—no matter what step you are at in your EV journey!
