Canada needs hundreds of thousands of public EV charging ports. Who is going to build them?

Debbie Nightingale, a farmer in Ontario, has installed a two-port electric vehicle (EV) charging station on her farm, attracting visitors interested in both interacting with her herd of goats and charging their EVs. Nightingale utilized a federal tourism recovery grant to set up the EV-charging station. The move aligns with the Canadian government's net-zero targets, aiming for all new light-duty car and passenger truck sales to be zero-emission by 2035, necessitating a widespread network of public charging ports.


Nightingale emphasized the importance of sustainability, noting the scarcity of EV chargers in her area. The farm, located in Newtonville, about 100 kilometers northeast of Toronto, is surrounded by only a few distant public EV charging stations, making the local addition significant. Visitors, like Ian Everdell from nearby Port Hope, appreciate the convenience of the charging station, especially as EV ownership in the region increases, highlighting the growing demand for accessible charging infrastructure.
