A new partnership between provincial and federal governments, 25 local governments and First Nations communities will bring 55 electric vehicle charging stations to the Northern and Central Regions of the province.
The expansion of the existing charging network will increase clean transportation options for people while supporting local economy and helping to reduce pollution.
Catherine McKenna, federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities said in a statement, “Expanding electric vehicle stations across northern, central and coastal B.C. will make clean transportation options more viable to more people.”
The project will more than double the number of level 2 charging stations available, stretching from Haida Gwaii to Prince George to Logan Lake. The funding is coming from three sources, $345,000 through the provincial CleanBC Communities Fund and $415,000 through the federal government’s Green Infrastructure Stream of investing. As well as, $275,000 from participating regional districts, municipalities and First Nations.
