FWIW, right now one can charge up at a lot of the small shopping centers and stores around Ottawa, if one asks. Typically the outlet is off someplace, like in the back, not in the main block of spaces.
The science museum here has outlets at all the spaces, IIRC. These are just ordinary 110v outlets, of course. Protocol in these parts is to give them a buck for the privilege, but since storekeepers don't normally ask for anything, it's voluntary. Reason for paying is, of course, to encourage shopkeepers to keep the outlets available.
