Electric vehicle owners in the Calgary area will soon regain access to crucial fast-charging infrastructure at a popular shopping destination. Thanks to a newly formed partnership with a Canadian charging network, fast-charging services will return to CrossIron Mills mall by the end of 2025.
A Welcomed Return for EV Drivers
The announcement brings relief to many Alberta EV drivers who frequent the large retail and entertainment complex located just north of Calgary. The return of reliable, high-speed charging options addresses a significant gap in the regional EV infrastructure, making longer trips and extended shopping visits more feasible for electric vehicle owners.
This development is part of a broader expansion of EV charging networks across Canada, as the country continues to support the transition to electric transportation. The specific Canadian charging network partner was not named in the initial announcement, but the collaboration signifies growing private sector investment in clean energy infrastructure.
Boosting Local Commerce and Sustainability
The reinstatement of fast chargers is expected to provide an economic boost to the mall's retailers. EV owners often spend more time and money at shopping centers while their vehicles charge, creating a valuable customer segment for businesses within CrossIron Mills.
This initiative also aligns with Alberta's increasing focus on sustainable transportation solutions. By providing critical charging infrastructure at major commercial hubs, the province takes another step toward meeting its climate goals while supporting the practical needs of its growing EV community.
The late 2025 implementation timeline gives the charging network and mall management several weeks to complete installation and testing, ensuring a seamless experience for drivers when the service launches.
