Today, the Honourable Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada, on behalf of the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced nearly $22.7 million for eight projects aimed at improving electric vehicle (EV) charging availability in British Columbia. 

The investment will install more than 480 EV chargers along main travel routes, in public places, at workplaces and in multi-unit residential buildings.

This funding is delivered in collaboration with partners in provincial utilities and municipalities to improve access to charging stations for existing EV drivers and address range anxiety for Canadians considering purchasing an EV in the future.
