Feds invest in 48 EV chargers across Southern Ontario

OTTAWA — The Government of Canada is supporting the deployment of a coast-to-coast network of charging stations along highways and in communities’ public places, on-street, in multi-use residential buildings, at workplaces and for vehicle fleets. To date, the government has supported installing almost 45,000 chargers across the country.

Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced a $229,356 investment to Hypercharge to install 48 Level 2 EV chargers in 11 parking lots across Southern Ontario. Additional funding was provided by Hypercharge, bringing the total project value to $458,712.

“We’re making electric vehicles more affordable and charging more available where Canadians live, work and play. Investing in more EV chargers, like these ones in Ontario, will put more Canadians in the driver’s seat on the road to a strong, healthy net-zero future,” said Minister Wilkinson.
