Wallbox and Quebec-based electrical solutions provider edp électrique have joined forces to grow the electric vehicle (EV) charging network at MET – Aéroport métropolitain de Montréal’s YHU Terminal. Now 120 Wallbox Pulsar Pro charging stations are working. After the airport finishes a building that is, under construction the plan is to add 48 more chargers. That will raise the number of charging points to 168. I am glad to see this progress.
On October 15 2026 the project was announced. This project brings together EV charging technology, electrical installation, distribution and infrastructure management. It is meant to meet the charging needs of airport employees, visitors and operations.
Expanding EV Charging Capacity at a Transport Hub
The installation forms part of Montréal Metropolitan Airport’s efforts to accommodate growing demand for EV charging and advance its broader sustainability objectives. Airports and other transport hubs need charging infrastructure that can serve different users while adapting to changing vehicle adoption and operational requirements.
The planned addition of 48 charging stations is connected to the completion of the airport’s building. Until that part of the project is done the project has 120 working chargers. The final total of 168 therefore is still depending on the planned expansion.
The deployment also shows how charging infrastructure is becoming part of the facilities planning process at transport locations, where electrical capacity, equipment placement and network management have to work together.
Power Sharing Helps Manage Electrical Capacity
Wallbox’s Pulsar Pro chargers were chosen for their Power Sharing features. The technology spreads electrical power across groups of charging points helping control the site’s electrical capacity when several vehicles are charging.
Of looking at each charging station as a completely separate load power sharing allows the available capacity to be spread across connected chargers. This method can help big installations use their existing resources more efficiently.
For places like airports, where charging needs might change during the day managing capacity across charging points can be a big concern. The companies have made the system to handle growth as needs change even though they have not shared numbers, for charging use, energy savings or operating costs.
Foresta Platform Supports Network Management
The charging infrastructure is integrated with Foresta’s charging infrastructure management platform. According to the announcement, the platform enables centralized network management and supports payment processing.
The project involved five organizations: Wallbox, edp électrique, Foresta, EG Électrique and Westburne. Their roles brought together charging equipment, infrastructure management, electrical installation and distribution.
EDP électrique supported the integration of the different solutions and coordinated work among the airport, manufacturers and distributors. This coordination was a central part of bringing the equipment and management systems together in one deployment.
Combining charging hardware with management software is especially important as charging networks expand. Operators have to monitor equipment at a location handle payments and add charging points without completely rebuilding the system each time there is an upgrade.
A Scalable Model for Airport Electrification
The Montréal airport project shows an infrastructure problem: EV charging networks need to be made not just for todays needs but also for possible future growth. Adding chargers means looking at electrical capacity network management and the real needs of people using the service.

Wallbox Chief Business Officer Ignasi Alastuey said transport hubs are a part of the next step in EV charging infrastructure, where size, dependability and smart energy management get more important. EDP électrique also talked about the importance of working between people involved in the project to create infrastructure that can grow over time.
The next step at YHU Terminal is likely to raise the number of chargers from 120 to 168 once the new building is done. The announcement does not say when the extra stations will be ready or tell how much the project will cost in total.
For airport operators and other businesses thinking about EV charging the project gives an example of a setup that includes shared power management, central network control and step-by-step increase, in capacity. How well it works in the run will depend on how much people need to charge their cars and how the system handles the growing network.
