Ottawa – Julie Dabrusin, Parliamentary Secretary to Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced an investment of $18.6 million to multiple organizations to install over 1,600 L2 and L3 chargers in Toronto and across Canada.
The installation of these chargers will help EV drivers get to where they need to go with confidence and ease. Before hitting the roads, Canadians can easily map out their route by consulting Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) Electric Charging and Alternative Fuelling Stations Locator.. Federal funding for this project was provided through Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program. To date, NRCan investments are helping to deploy over 41,000 EV chargers across the country where they are most needed.
“Every year, hundreds of thousands of Canadians are switching to EVs and saving on gas and maintenance. To support Canadians driving EVs, where they live, work, travel and play, the Government of Canada is helping to build reliable and available charging options. We are pleased to invest in new EV charging stations for drivers in Toronto and across Canada.” – Julie Dabrusin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and MP for Toronto–Danforth
