The Canadian government is investing 18.6 million Canadian dollars ($13.3 million) in EV chargers across the country.
“The installation of these chargers will help EV drivers get to where they need to go with confidence and ease,” Natural Resources Canada said.
The funds will be given to multiple organizations that will use them to install over 1,600 Level 2 and DC fast chargers in Toronto and across Canada.
The federal funding for the EV charger installation project was provided through Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program.
“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,” said Julie Dabrusin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources.
Natural Resources Canada is the department of the Government of Canada responsible for natural resources and energy. To date, NRC investments have helped deploy more than 41,000 chargers across the country.
