What to know about charging in New Westminster

In New Westminster, BC, the public charging landscape is shaped significantly by FLO, which operates 72% of the city's 18 locations, ensuring a high degree of reliability and consistent pricing for EV drivers. With only 11% of public charging options comprising DC fast chargers, and these averaging a modest 50 kW, the market offers an opportunity for new entrants to introduce higher-powered charging options, which are increasingly sought after by drivers. The existing infrastructure, mainly focused on Level 2 stations, indicates a potential gap in fast charging, particularly as surrounding cities like Burnaby and Coquitlam enhance their own networks. A move towards more robust DC fast charging solutions would not only cater to an evolving EV market but also strategically position new developments to meet growing driver demands.

How profitability scores work in New Westminster

Every score on EV Data Map blends location demand, competition and operating economics into a single 0–100 number. For Canadian sites, demand draws on Statistics Canada ZEV registrations (Table 20-10-0024) projected forward to 2026 using province-level CAGR, daytime population from StatCan census tracts, and traffic patterns. Competition uses the count and quality of nearby chargers — including DC fast power, network reliability and dwell-fit. Operating economics include provincial electricity tariffs, demand-charge exposure, expected utilization, and capital cost for the recommended hardware mix.

For New Westminster specifically, our model factors local commute corridors, the existing footprint of 2 DC fast and 16 Level 2 sites, and the dwell profile of surrounding land use. The result is a per-address score plus a recommended configuration — number of stalls, target power level and network — that maximises projected revenue.
