It gets better yet for EV'ers thinking about participating in this event. Jeff just told me that there is now a charging station right next door to the Ultramar Station [Boulevard Celine-Dion, Charlemagne, QC J5Z 3L6 gps: 45.720396,-73.48999 ] where the event starts and ends! The 240V charging station is located in the St-Hubert Rotisserie Restaurant [where we go to eat after the event.] Address: 99 Rue Émile-Despins, Charlemagne, QC J5Z 3S8, Canada.

I learned that you will need an Electric Circuit card to use the charging station. Cost is $2.50 per charge. Has anyone seen this charging station in person? Is it for one car or more please? Perhaps Francis or HyperMileQC knows?

Also, I mentioned to Jeff that most EV's won't be able to make the 118 miles of this mountainous event. Jeff said if a few EV's expressed interest in participating that he would consider creating a shortcut route for them that would amount to a much more manageable 120km, or 74.5 miles.
