Powering Up the Future: New EV Chargers Now at Otter Co-op
ActionsWe're excited to announce a new way we're supporting our members and the environment: electric vehicle chargers are now available at the Aldergrove Retail Centre! As part of our commitment to providing top-notch services and driving sustainability, these chargers are ready to keep your EV powered up while you shop.
But that's not all! In addition to Langley, you'll also find FLO chargers at our Progress Way Gas Bar location, and at our Parallel Food Store in Abbotsford. This initiative is made possible through a no-cost-to-Otter partnership with Federated Co-operatives Limited. It's all part of our ongoing effort to serve our member-owners who have been looking for EV charging solutions at our locations.
This setup will consist of one dispenser operating at its full 100kW capacity and the other dispenser limited to 50kW, with charging fees aligned accordingly as follows:
- 50kW dispenser: $0.30 per minute
- 100kW dispenser: $0.50 per minute
This pricing structure provides an alternative option for drivers whose EVs cannot charge above 50kW. We will be implementing energy-based pricing once approvals have been granted. Each dispenser charges one car at a time. All EV models can use the charger. Tesla EVs will need an adapter (most Tesla drivers will carry an adapter). Drivers can use various methods to pay for a charge: FLO mobile app, RFID card, credit card. Pricing is listed on the FLO app.
So whether you're picking up groceries, fueling up, or enjoying everything our stores have to offer, you can now charge your EV with ease. We’re proud to keep Otter Co-op moving forward, and we’re thrilled to help you stay charged up and ready for your journey.
Stop by on your next visit and plug in while you shop!
