The federal government has signed off on funding for nearly 2,500 new electric-vehicle chargers concentrated in and around Vancouver.
Natural Resources Canada announced the $18.5 million investment through its Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program in the West Coast city Feb. 24. The funds will back the installation of new charging stations for a series of 26 public and private projects at workplaces, transport hubs, multi-unit residential buildings, and along key highway corridors.
Vancouver and its suburbs will be home to 1,880 of the 2,416 new charging stations, but several of the federally backed projects extend across British Columbia or into other Canadian provinces. New chargers for PCI King George Developments Inc.’s mixed-use buildings in Surrey, B.C. come a close second. The real estate developer will add 782 Level 2 chargers, plus a single Level 3 charging station, at multi-unit residential and office buildings in the Metro Vancouver city with $2.9 million in assistance from Ottawa.
