If you own an electric vehicle in British Columbia or have ever thought of purchasing one, it will now be easier to recharge and keep moving with the introduction of 454 new charging stations in communities throughout the province.
As part of the $2.7-million Community Charging Infrastructure (CCI) Fund announced in April, 71 organizations have been approved through an Early Bird Application process for charging station incentives.
These organizations will receive 75 percent of the cost through the fund, up to $4,000 per station, to purchase and install 286 level two charging stations.
In addition to the charging station incentives, 12 local municipal/regional governments will receive $184,416 in funding to help plan and identify priority locations for 168 additional stations.
