Montréal Metropolitan Airport Activates 120 EV Chargers With Expansion Planned
The YHU Terminal installation uses Wallbox Pulsar Pro units and Power Sharing technology to manage grid capacity.
Montréal Metropolitan Airport (MET) has brought 120 electric vehicle chargers online at its YHU Terminal, with plans to add another 48 units as part of an ongoing expansion.
What Happened
The initial deployment at the Longueuil, Quebec airport features Wallbox Pulsar Pro Level 2 chargers designed to serve employees, visitors, and airport operations. According to Wallbox, the subsequent batch of 48 chargers will bring the total site capacity to 168 charging points once a building currently under construction is completed. While Wallbox lists the maximum output of the North American Pulsar Pro at 11.5 kW, the announcement did not specify the actual charging speeds configured for the airport.
Why It Matters
This installation highlights the technical challenges of deploying high-density charging infrastructure in large public facilities. To manage the total electrical draw, the site utilizes Wallbox’s Power Sharing technology, which dynamically divides available power among groups of chargers rather than treating each connected vehicle as a separate demand for full capacity. This approach allows the airport to operate within its existing electrical infrastructure limits. The project also involves centralized management and payment processing software provided by Foresta, with integration coordinated by Quebec electrical products agency edp électrique and support from EG Électrique and Westburne.
The Bottom Line
Wallbox has not yet announced the pricing for the new charging stations or a specific completion date for the additional 48 chargers.
