Kamloops deploys 112 charging ports within 15 kilometres of city centre as one in five new BC vehicles goes electric
By Eve
Kamloops, British Columbia, now operates 112 charging ports within 15 kilometres of the city centre, including 49 fast charging stations that deliver empty to full charges in 25 to 30 minutes. The infrastructure expansion supports a market in which one in five new vehicles sold in BC in 2025 is a zero emission vehicle, part of a provincial fleet exceeding 210,000 EVs. New homes in the city are being built with EV ready infrastructure, and fast chargers include the BC Fast Charger at Tournament Capital Centre and a Tesla Supercharger at the former visitor centre.
Why it matters: The 112 port network demonstrates how mid sized Canadian cities are scaling public charging to match rapid EV adoption, with fast charging density critical for both resident convenience and intercity travel. Procurement teams and charge point operators will note the integration of provincial Electric Highway standards and the inclusion of EV ready requirements in new residential builds.
