The Government of Canada has announced the Durham Region in southern Ontario will be getting 60 new electric vehicle (EV) chargers, part of a $296,000 CAD investment.
Federal funding is coming through Natural Resources Canada’s Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP). The Canadian government wants all new cars sold in Canada to be zero-emission by 2040.
