“The Government of Canada is building a coast-to-coast-to-coast network of charging stations where they are most needed — along highways, in public places and in multi-use residential buildings, at workplaces and for vehicle fleets. To date, the federal government has committed support the installation of over 45,000 chargers across the country. // Today, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, concluded a zero-emissions vehicle tour from Montréal to Trois-Rivières and Québec City. He was joined by representatives from industry to announce nearly $30 million in federal investment to deliver over 1,500 additional EV chargers across Quebec, including over 400 fast chargers.”

« Le gouvernement fédéral a annoncé un financement de 500 000 dollars pour installer plus de bornes de recharge électriques à Ottawa dans les infrastructures d’Hydro Ottawa, des espaces publics de la Ville et les immeubles en copropriété. […] M. Bailey a ajouté que l’obtention d’un financement pour 76 de ses 96 emplacements a fait pencher la balance pour de nombreuses personnes qui envisageaient d’acheter un véhicule électrique, la plupart des résidents ayant désormais l’intention de passer à l’action. »

“We’re making electric vehicles more affordable and charging more accessible where Canadians live, work and play. Investing in more EV chargers, like the ones announced today across Greater Vancouver and the country, will put more Canadians in the driver’s seat on the road to a net-zero future and help achieve our climate goals.”

“Budget 2022 announces that the Canada Infrastructure Bank will invest $500 million in large-scale urban and commercial ZEV charging and refuelling infrastructure. Funding will be sourced from the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s existing resources under its green infrastructure investment priority area.”
