- Montréal Metropolitan Airport activated 120 Wallbox Pulsar Pro Level 2 EV chargers at its YHU terminal to serve employees, visitors, and airport operations, with 48 additional units slated once a building under construction finishes.
- Wallbox's Power Sharing technology divides available electrical capacity across groups of chargers so the 168-port site can operate without treating every plugged-in vehicle as a separate full-power demand.
- Foresta's software handles centralized charger management and payment processing for the installation, while Quebec agency edp électrique coordinated integration alongside EG Électrique and Westburne.
- Wallbox's Pulsar Pro is rated at a maximum output of 11.5 kW, though the announcement does not specify the charging speeds available at the airport itself.
- Wallbox has not disclosed pricing for the chargers or a completion date for the second batch of 48 units.
- The airport, located in Longueuil, Quebec, and operating as MET, offers more than 2,600 parking spaces across short-, mid-, and long-term lots.
Why it matters: An airport reaching 168 EV charging points in a single deployment is unusually large for a Canadian regional facility, and the Power Sharing approach demonstrates how high charger counts can be deployed without exceeding on-site electrical capacity — a template for other mid-size facilities. Wallbox's silence on pricing and the timeline for the final 48 stalls leaves travelers and fleet operators unable to plan for cost or availability.
