EV charging and energy management solutions provider Wallbox announced that its Supernova 180 kW DC fast chargers will be deployed in the new public charging network being built by SureCharge Corp across Alberta and British Columbia.
The project will establish up to 24 high-speed charging sites with 96 charging points along key travel corridors in Western Canada, creating an extensive regional fast charging hub. SureCharge is leading the rollout, with SureTek Electric & Technologies Ltd., a certified Wallbox partner with deep EV infrastructure expertise, providing installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.
The initiative is supported by over $4.7 million in funding from the Government of Canada through Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program, reflecting the country’s commitment to expanding public EV charging infrastructure. In addition, the Government of British Columbia contributed $400,000 through a partnership with Natural Resources Canada to support the expansion.
Each site will be equipped with Wallbox’s Supernova, the company’s flagship public fast charging solution designed to deliver up to 180 kW of power to support long-distance travel. Designed for scalability and efficiency, Supernova enables reliable charging experiences while optimizing the cost of ownership for network operators.
“This deployment demonstrates how advanced charging technology and local expertise can accelerate the adoption of electric mobility,” said Douglas Alfaro, Chief Business Development Officer at Wallbox. “By collaborating with SureCharge we are supporting the development of a robust fast charging network across Western Canada.”
SureCharge’s vertically integrated model combines in-house certified installers with a dedicated maintenance team, enabling turnkey solutions for charging infrastructure in high-traffic areas. This initiative represents a long-term collaboration that combines product innovation, infrastructure deployment, and service continuity across the region.
“This project is about opening up the map for EV drivers in Western Canada,” said Michael Palarchio, Vice-President at SureCharge Corp. “From the northern stretches of British Columbia to the southern reaches of Alberta, we’re enabling a fast-charging corridor that connects communities across the region — many of which have never had access to this kind of infrastructure before. By building a network that’s owned, installed, and maintained by Western Canadians, we’re not just supporting EV adoption — we’re creating a locally powered solution that works for the people who live, work, and travel here.”
The project is an example of how collaboration between technology providers, local operators, and government support can accelerate the development of a reliable charging network.
“With this funding, Canadians travelling on Alberta and British Columbia highways will have access to more EV chargers where they need them most. These chargers give peace of mind to current EV drivers, and helps address charging anxiety for those considering an EV purchase in the near future,” says the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources.
“Every new charging site brings us closer to a future where clean transportation is the easiest and most affordable choice. Supporting this network not only addresses charging gaps today but also lays the foundation for the next generation of drivers in Western Canada,” says Adrian Dix, B.C.’s Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions.
The first SureCharge sites are anticipated to go live by late 2025, starting with key hubs in Red Deer, Lacombe, and Enoch Cree Nation. From there, the network will expand rapidly across Alberta and into British Columbia, targeting a strategic mix of high-traffic corridors, gateway communities, and underserved regions.
Planned locations include Whitecourt, Grande Prairie, Jasper, Fort St. John, Fernie, and Edson, as well as smaller but vital communities such as Grand Cache, Hinton, Rocky Mountain House, Valleyview, and Diamond Valley. This broad geographic footprint ensures coverage across northern, central, and southern Alberta — extending into remote and rural areas — while also supporting regional travel and tourism routes.
This expansive rollout marks the first phase of a long-term initiative to establish a robust public fast charging network, enabled through partnerships with retail, hospitality, and convenience brands committed to the future of sustainable transportation.
