About Sprint

Sprint's convenience store network now includes more than 100 locations across Quebec, offering fuel under various banners. Fully Quebec-owned, the company entered the market in 2017 with a clear vision: to provide customers with a warm, accessible, and high-quality experience.

Beyond customer service, Sprint also stands out through its focus on quality, originality, and the diversity of products available in its stores.

As the company continued to grow and electric mobility needs evolved, Sprint sought to expand and structure its electric vehicle charging network to deliver a simple, reliable, and high-performance charging experience to its customers.

•Delivering a seamless, reliable, and user-friendly charging experience for EV drivers;

•Supporting the rapid growth of the network while maintaining operational stability.
