Electric-vehicle chargers distributed unequally in Canada, environment audit finds

Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development Jerry DeMarco responds to a question during a news conference, on Nov. 7, in Ottawa.The national infrastructure program to install electric chargers for passenger vehicles is too concentrated in a small number of provinces and has no data to show where the biggest gaps are, a new audit says.

As of July, the Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program had approved and funded 33,887 charging ports. About 13 per cent of them were already operational, and the rest are supposed to be up and running by March 2026, said DeMarco. It’s critical for Canadians to know that charging stations are available so they have confidence to make the switch to electric vehicles, DeMarco said.
