The telecom company is partnering with Australian EV company Jolt to install the DC fast chargers, where drivers will have access to public WiFi and, if they have the app, 15 to 20 minutes per day of free charge time. It’s the first such partnership for Telus, though it has provided some services to EV charging companies in the past. (The Logic)

Talking point: Because many EV charging networks link with apps and need software updates to manage the flow of electricity, they can’t be simply plunked in underground garages with spotty cell service. So telcos are eyeing EV chargers as an opportunity to expand—it’s already an emerging business for Huawei in China. Telus also previously joined BlackBerry and RBC Ventures as a backer of Car IQ, a connected-vehicle startup that transmits payments through the operating system of the vehicle, cutting down the need to pull out phones and wallets for each charger.
