Yes, you read that right – Canada's first-ever 400 kW DC fast charger is here, and it's absolutely FREE (for now)! On The Run, a major convenience store chain, has unveiled its lightning-fast ABB A400 chargers in British Columbia, and EV owners are loving it!

⚡ Super Fast. Super Free. Super Game-Changer.

Launched just last week, the new ABB A400 charger delivers 400 kW DC fast charging speeds, giving you ultra-fast top-ups in record time. Whether you're heading out for a summer road trip or just need a quick charge on the go, these chargers are built to revolutionize EV travel in Canada.

FREE 400 kW Fast Charging? What’s the Catch?

Located at an On The Run store in British Columbia, the brand-new ABB A400 chargers are part of a broader rollout plan. These next-gen ultra-fast chargers are completely free to use for a limited time—just in time for summer road trips.

All you need to do is download the Journie Rewards app, plug in your EV, and charge away—without spending a single penny.

Tech Specs That’ll Blow Your Mind

These ABB A400 beasts are no ordinary chargers:

400 kW max output – among the fastest chargers available

32-inch display screen for a futuristic interface

Compatible with CCS & CHAdeMO plugs

Tesla-compatible (via NACS adapters), but limited to ~50 kW charging speed

What's Next for On The Run?

The chain isn't stopping here. They’ve already confirmed:

4 more BC locations launching ultra-fast chargers this spring

2 locations in Quebec & Ontario coming by year-end

Additional ABB Terra 184 units rated at 180 kW also in the pipeline

Why Is Tesla Falling Behind?

Let’s not forget that Elon Musk once mocked 350 kW charging, calling it “a toy.” Fast forward to 2025, and Tesla’s own Superchargers are capped around 325 kW—while companies like BP Pulse, Revel, Wallbox, and now On The Run, are rolling out 400 kW chargers for real.
