A project is underway that will see the instillation of Level 2 and Level 3 EV charging ports at 15 locations in Ontario, including two spots at Algonquin Park.
Both the visitors centre and the portage store at the park will receive direct current fast chargers (Level 3), a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation told MyBarrysBayNow.
The ministry said the provincial government, through its EV ChargeON program, is investing more than $180 million to increase the number of public EV charging stations across the province, improve EV charging infrastructure, reduce range anxiety, fill gaps in underserved areas, and build a more affordable and connected charging network.
According to the ministry, the province is providing funding to install more than 1,300 EV charging ports in small and medium-sized communities.
According to Natural Resources Canada, there are currently 4,372 station locations and 12,475 EV charging ports across Ontario.
You can find EV charging stations in the province at this map.
