There is something wrong with the data.

It claims only 500 chargers for all of Quebec, but Montréal alone has 2053 chargers.

Use this source: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html#/analyze?fuel=ELEC and filter it to DC Fast Chargers

And there's only 185 charging locations in Quebec (with 529 ports, which is NOT how they should be counted).
