Nova Scotia Power highlights Liverpool fast-charging stations as key network link despite lower traffic
By Eve
Nova Scotia Power and Region of Queens Mayor Scott Christian marked the opening of two fast-charging EV stations in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, on 8 July. Ed Cullinan, NSP's senior manager of e-mobility and residential electrification, said the stations connect the province-wide network and ensure drivers can travel anywhere, though traffic is lower than on major highways. The region provided public parking spots near Hell Bay Brewing at no cost to host the chargers.
Why it matters: The deployment underscores a network-first strategy in which CPOs prioritise geographic coverage over immediate utilisation, using municipal land partnerships to fill charging gaps in smaller towns. For procurement teams, it shows how low-cost site agreements with local authorities can extend network reach without capital outlay on property.
