More than 2,000 new electric-vehicle chargers will be installed across the Greater Toronto Area as Natural Resources Canada approves infrastructure spending for a series of 32 charging initiatives centred on Toronto.
The latest tranche of Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program funding from Ottawa totals $14.9 million, NRCan said Feb. 3.
It will partially cover the cost of more than 500 public chargers to be installed by the City of Toronto and the Toronto Parking Authority , as well as hundreds of charging stations planned by a range of real estate companies carving out space in residential parking garages for EV infrastructure.The largest share of the funding, about $5.3 million, will go to the City of Toronto and the city-owned TPA, which are scaling up charging infrastructure to encourage EV adoption.
A further $1.7 million has been awarded to the City of Brampton to support the suburban city’s fleet charging strategy. Smaller scale installations in multi-unit residential buildings account for most of the remaining funding, though several real estate developers are planning charger rollouts to their portfolios of buildings across Canada. A handful of fleet- and workplace-oriented installations are also covered.NRCan’s ZEVIP program typically covers 50 per cent of charging infrastructure installation costs, meaning the total investment in the 32 charging initiatives amounts to roughly $30 million.
