Co-op Connect Charging Network

Co-op Connect EV Charging Network
Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) does business differently. At its core, FCL is a co-operative that supports other co-operatives that serve people in Western Canada.
 
FCL is a wholesaling, manufacturing, marketing and administrative co-operative owned by more than 160 independent retail co-operative associations. These retail co-ops own and operate agro centers, food stores, gas bars/convenience stores and home centers.
 
Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) is investing in a significant EV charging network expansion of its retail locations, as announced on May 28, 2024.
 
FCL’s charging network — Co-op Connect — is already operational in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. They have 29 DC fast chargers in 16 locations in those provinces.
 
The addition of 41 new 100 kW chargers at 23 stations in British Columbia in locations ranging from Fort St. John to Tofino, is a marked service increase. The chargers are SmartDC fast chargers from FLO.
 
The expansion aims to provide more opportunities for EV drivers, especially in rural cities and towns, as British Columbia moves toward 100% zero-emissions vehicles by 2035. You can use the Co-op Connect app to locate charging stations, check availability, and view pricing.
