Starting this Autumn, five new Kia Niro EVs will be added to the current fleet of over 250 vehicles, marking the first step toward further electrification. The first EVs will be available at key locations, including Scotia Square and Dalhousie University, with more stations to follow soon.
This new initiative, made possible through the support and funding of HCi3 (Halifax Climate Investment, Innovation, and Impact Fund), provides Halifax residents the opportunity to adopt electric mobility in an affordable and accessible way. For those curious about electric vehicles, it also offers a unique chance to test out an EV before deciding to purchase, ensuring that they acquire a vehicle only if they truly need one.
"Electrifying our fleet in Halifax is a key milestone for us," says Marco Viviani, VP of strategic development at Communauto. "The move to electrify our fleet in Halifax will contribute to local and national climate goals while offering residents an even greener alternative to traditional car ownership."
