- Montréal Metropolitan Airport has 120 Wallbox EV chargers live across its 2,600+ parking spaces, serving employees, visitors, and airport operations
- Wallbox will install 48 additional chargers once a building currently under construction is finished, bringing the site to 168 charging points total
- The installation uses the Level 2 Pulsar Pro unit rated at 11.5 kW maximum output, though the airport has not disclosed actual delivered charging speeds
- Wallbox's Power Sharing technology divides available electrical capacity across groups of chargers so the site can serve many vehicles without exceeding its grid connection
- Foresta software manages the chargers centrally and handles payment processing, with Quebec agencies edp électrique, EG Électrique, and Westburne coordinating the integration
- Wallbox has not yet announced pricing for drivers using the chargers or a completion date for the next 48 units
Why it matters: A 168-stall EV charging buildout at a single regional airport is unusually dense for North America and signals that ground-transport electrification is moving from pilot scale to infrastructure-scale deployments at smaller hubs. The Power Sharing design also shows how sites work around constrained electrical capacity rather than waiting for utility upgrades.
