Two J1772 ports at $1.50 per hour. The park sits above the headpond of the Mactaquac Dam on the Saint John River, with a golf course, marina, and some of the best swimming in the Fredericton area. The nearest DC fast charging is in Fredericton, about 9 miles away, with eCharge and EV Connect stations. Beyond that, the next option is Waasis, roughly 17 miles out, with Tesla Supercharger and eCharge. Fredericton's charging network is solid, and Mactaquac's proximity to the capital makes this an easy park to visit with an EV.
