TORONTO — The federal government is investing nearly $15 million for the installation of more than 2,350 EV chargers, with most, about 2,100, to be installed across the Greater Toronto Area.

The funding was provided to 32 organizations, including municipalities, multi-resident buildings, private firms and utilities.

Since 2016, the Government of Canada has invested $1 billion to make EVs more affordable and chargers more accessible for Canadians and has approved funding to support the installation of more than 34,500 EV chargers to date, indicates a release.  

Budget 2022 provided an additional $900 million to Natural Resources Canada and the Canada Infrastructure Bank to continue deploying zero-emission vehicle infrastructure and delivered an additional $1.7 billion to extend the government’s purchase incentive program until March 2025.
