Electric Bixis launch Tuesday
Electric Bixis are being launched Tuesday with 100 of the blue bikes appearing alongside their grey brethren in the same docks. They cost $1 more per trip than a standard Bixi.
In other tangentially related news, use of the city’s electric recharging stations is on the rise, while parking meter income is down.

And in fakish news, http://news.hydroquebec.com/en/press-releases/1536/desjardins-and-hydro-quebec-partner-up-to-create-quebecs-first-urban-vehicle-charging-superstation/ announced the first urban vehicle fast charger. Both Tesla and the Electric Circuit have superchargers/fast chargers in the city already. Tesla has official ones in St-Laurent at Place Vertu and two unofficial ones on Ferrier. The Electric Circuit (Circuit Electrique) already has one at Centre de services communautaires du Monastère
4451 rue Berri and the Atwater market. The FastDC from the Electric Circuit are 50kw. The Tesla Superchargers in Montreal are all 120kw. Apparently Tesla is looking at installing in Griffintown (somewhere near Mountain/Ottawa.)
Incidentally, most of the Electric Circuit chargers are $1 per hour for 7.2kw. The 50kw are $12.50 per hour and the Tesla Superchargers are $26.40 per hour for over 60kw and $13.20 per hour for under 60kw.

En ce qui concerne les espaces tarifés sur rue, les automobilistes doivent s’attendre à des hausses selon l’offre et la demande. « Dans les secteurs plus populaires, on veut faire en sorte qu’il y ait une plus grande rotation », dit-il
Cool, maybe there are some Shoupistas in the Projet administration after all.
