Wallbox Powers Up Montréal Airport With 120 New EV Chargers

Montréal Metropolitan Airport’s YHU terminal now has 120 fresh EV charging points, fitted by Wallbox alongside Canadian electrical solutions specialist EDP électrique. The number won’t stay there. Another 48 units are queued for installation once a new airport building finishes construction, which would push the site’s total to 168.

The chargers serve airport employees, ground operations crews and travellers rather than being a purely public-facing fast-charging hub. Wallbox supplied its Pulsar Pro AC hardware, and the setup leans on the company’s Power Sharing feature to spread the available electrical capacity across groups of charge points. In plain terms, the airport doesn’t need every unit pulling peak power at the same moment, which keeps the site’s grid connection from becoming the bottleneck.

Managing the Network From One Place

Foresta’s charging infrastructure management platform handles centralised oversight and payment processing. EDP électrique acted as the integrator, pulling together the various systems and partners, with Foresta, electrical contractor EG Électrique and distributor Westburne also on the project team.

Wallbox says the design was built with growth in mind. The remaining 48 points hinge on the new terminal building currently under construction. What the partners haven’t shared: a completion date for that second phase, or the individual power ratings of the chargers themselves.

Ignasi Alastuey, Wallbox’s Chief Business Officer, framed airports as a key frontier for charging buildout, pointing to scale, reliability and intelligent energy management as the priorities at transport hubs. The YHU project, he said, is meant to cover present demand while leaving room to keep expanding as more drivers go electric.

This isn’t Wallbox’s first airport rodeo. The Barcelona-based company also supplied charging infrastructure at Munich Airport, where 275 charging points went into a car park in 2025 using its eM4 AC chargers, rated at up to 22 kW. That site is backed by rooftop solar arrays totalling 3 MW and sits inside the airport’s NetZero 2035 strategy.

For Montréal, the takeaway is less about headline charging speed and more about how airports are quietly becoming structured charging environments — employee lots, fleet vehicles, visitor parking — where load management matters as much as the plugs themselves.
