Papillons Infrastructure Nature is a young company founded in October 2023, driven by the EcoCharge project, initially developed within the organization Earth Day Canada. In light of the significant growth of the project and its impact on the electric mobility ecosystem, it quickly became essential to establish its own entity. This led to the emergence of Papillons, positioning it as a key player in the electric mobility sector in Canada.
What is the EcoCharge project?
To date, RechargÉco is the third largest network of fast charging stations in Eastern Canada. Mainly located in Quebec and New Brunswick, it already has 190 fast charging ports in service, for 146 stations, installed in 70 IGA supermarkets. Compatible with all electric vehicle models, RechargÉco stations allow for recharging in 20 to 30 minutes, ideal for grocery shopping or taking a break during a longer trip.
This project was launched in 2019 by the charity Earth Day Canada in collaboration with the Sobeys supermarket chain, IGA merchants, and the Fonds Éco IGA. In October 2023, Papillons Infrastructure Nature became the primary manager of the network. Papillons is now responsible for all development and implementation of the network, manages all operations, and also promotes it.
At the heart of environmental action, Papillons shares its expertise in ecological transition to help its partners adopt sustainable practices in the field of mobility.
