Canada installs 157 new electric vehicle chargers in Atlantic Canada

The federal government is expanding access to EV charging infrastructure across Atlantic Canada.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister Kody Blois announced over $5 million in federal funding on Friday for five projects through Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emissions Vehicle Infrastructure Program.

New EV chargers are being installed at workplaces, public on-street parking and multi-unit residential buildings in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.

The projects also include funding for two Indigenous organizations to install EV chargers serving a highway retail hub and the Halifax International Airport.
