EV charging at a station with mobile phone ready to charge

Activating without a network card

Most charging stations can be activated with a mobile app, or by scanning the QR code with your phone’s camera.

The BC Hydro EV app will activate our EV stations, as well as FLO and ChargePoint stations. Ensure you have enough balance pre-loaded in your account.

Check PlugShare ahead of time to see what network the charging station is on. If the charging station is not on the BC Hydro EV, FLO or ChargePoint network, you may have to download a network-specific app to activate it.
