Anyone who drives an electric car in Toronto might just have less of a headache looking for a spot to charge their vehicle soon.
On Tuesday, May 17, the City, along with Toronto Hydro announced that they will be installing 32 more on-street electric vehicle charging stations by the end of the year.
These chargers will be set up on 17 residential streets at on-street permit parking areas, in spots where houses don't have access to private parking lots or garages. This will add to the 17 EV charging stations that the City has already installed, which according to Toronto Hydro, can be found in areas like Palmerston Avenue, Wellington Street West and Shaw Street.
"In addition to expanding Toronto's on-street charging infrastructure, the City is increasing EV adoption by requiring new buildings to have the infrastructure to support EV charging, providing funding to support and encourage EV charging infrastructure to be installed in existing buildings and providing public EV charging stations in Green P parking lots (up to 500 by end of 2024) and at City-owned properties and facilities," the release reads.
Across Ontario, the province has announced that they are installing 69 fast EV chargers across 23 ONRoute stations along highways 401 and 400.
