charging demands suggests we’ll need to more than double the number of public chargers within the next three years and then quadruple it by the end of the decade.
Canada’s vast geography means people regularly drive longer distances than in much of Europe, and in winter, electric vehicles need to be charged more frequently. The recent budget included $400 million for public chargers in suburban and remote communities, on top of $350 million budgeted since 2016 for chargers on public streets, retail and restaurant parking lots, at workplaces and in multi-unit residential buildings. The Canada Infrastructure Bank is also directing $500 million from its existing green fund to charging stations.
