Here’s the latest I can share based on public BC Hydro updates up to 2025:
-
BC Hydro has been expanding its public EV charging network and surpassed 700 charging ports, with ongoing integrations of new sites into its network through 2025.

In mid-2025 BC Hydro announced the opening of multiple fast-charging hubs, including expansions in Port Moody, bringing the network to over 600 ports province-wide at that time, and highlighting plans for continued growth with high-speed chargers (some up to 350 kW).

If you’d like, I can:
- Narrow to a specific city or highway corridor in BC and pull the most relevant 2025 updates.
- Compile a quick timeline of key BC Hydro charging-network milestones from 2024–2025.
- Extract the exact numbers (ports, hubs, locations) from the cited BC Hydro releases and present them in a concise table.
Would you like me to proceed with one of these options?
