Tim Hortons is partnering with FLO to deploy electric vehicle fast chargers at 100 of its restaurants across Canada by the end of 2028, the company announced.
In a news release, they said the move would make them the largest restaurant provider of public EV fast charging in Canada.
FLO’s EV fast chargers are already operational at a Tims restaurant in Regina, Saskatchewan, and there are up to 13 more such restaurants planning to roll out FLO Ultra EV fast chargers by the end of 2025. The company is aiming to have the chargers live at 50 locations in 2026.
“Our planned rollout will make Tims the largest restaurant provider of EV fast charging in Canada and we are targeting installations in all 10 provinces to provide coast-to-coast coverage for our guests,” said Hope Bagozzi, Chief Marketing Officer for Tim Hortons, in a statement.
Each restaurant planning to include FLO’s charger will have an average of four charging ports for consumers. The chargers can deliver up to 120 kilometres of range in as little as 10 minutes on average. Tim Hortons said these 100 chargers will be part of the FLO network, offering a leading uptime of over 98 per cent.
“By installing FLO Ultra chargers at trusted, well-visited locations, we’re not only building the reliable infrastructure EV drivers need but also empowering Canadians to confidently accelerate their transition to electric mobility,” said said Louis Tremblay, President and CEO of FLO, in a statement.
