Funded through Natural Resources Canada's Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP), these chargers are now available to Ontarians. Cambrian College also contributed over CA$247,000 toward this project.
"As more people plug in to the concept of electric vehicles, we know we are going to see more of them on campus, both from students and staff,” said Shawn Poland, interim president, Cambrian College. “These new EV stations are part of our overall commitment to be a more sustainable campus with a smaller carbon footprint. Initiatives like these help us be better stewards of the planet and our resources."
"We're making electric vehicles more affordable and charging more accessible where Canadians live, work and play,” said Jonathan Wilkinson. “Investing in more EV chargers, like the ones announced today in Ontario, will put more Canadians in the driver's seat on the road to a net-zero future and help achieve our climate goals."
