Market insights shaping local charging
Circuit électrique’s per-kWh tiers and hourly fallback encourage drivers to unplug near 80–90% state of charge, improving turnover at busy fast chargers.
Roulez vert home and multi-unit rebates reduce barriers for overnight charging, complementing curbside pilots in denser neighbourhoods.
Including Ottawa-side backups in trip planning mitigates queuing risk when civic events or peak commuting increase demand.
The forthcoming master plan is expected to prioritize curbside and downtown lots near transit and amenities to maximize turnover and access.
