Montreal Airport Installs 120 EV Chargers, 48 More Coming

Charging an electric vehicle at the airport just got a whole lot easier for Montreal travelers.

Montreal Metropolitan Airport (MET) in Longueuil, Quebec, now offers 120 electric vehicle chargers across its parking facilities, with another 48 planned once construction wraps on a new building. The installation transforms the airport into a charging haven for the growing number of Canadians driving electric.

The airport partnered with Wallbox to install Pulsar Pro Level 2 chargers throughout its 2,600-space parking complex. Whether you're an employee parking for a shift, a traveler leaving your car for a long trip, or visiting the airport, you can plug in while you're there.

Here's where it gets clever. Installing 120 chargers could easily overwhelm an electrical system if every car tried drawing full power at once. Instead, the airport uses Power Sharing technology that divides available electricity among groups of chargers, keeping everything running smoothly within the site's capacity.

The system treats charging like a smart buffet rather than 120 separate full-course meals happening simultaneously. Foresta's software handles the management and payment processing, while Quebec electrical products agency edp électrique coordinated the integration with partners EG Électrique and Westburne.

The Ripple Effect

This installation sends ripples far beyond one airport's parking lot. As Canada pushes toward its 2035 goal of all new vehicle sales being zero-emission, infrastructure like this removes a major travel anxiety for EV drivers.

Airport charging also means travelers can arrive with a low battery and leave with a full charge, turning dead time into useful time. For employees working eight-hour shifts, workplace charging becomes a daily convenience that makes EV ownership more practical.

The move positions MET as a leader among Canadian airports in supporting the electric transition. When travelers see 168 charging spots at an airport, it normalizes EVs and shows the infrastructure keeping pace with the shift.

The future looks bright and fully charged for Montreal's electric drivers.
