The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Member of Parliament for Laurier\u2013Sainte-Marie, on behalf of the Honourable Seamus O\u2019Regan, Canada\u2019s Minister of Natural Resources,\u00a0<\/em>today announced a $5-million investment in Quebec and New Brunswick for the installation of 100 electric vehicle (EV) fast chargers as part of the government\u2019s commitment to build a national network of EV charging stations.<\/p>\n

The funding will enable the Montreal-based association of\u00a0Earth Day Canada<\/a>\u00a0to build and locate EV chargers, which will be operational by 2021, at 50 IGA grocery stores throughout the two provinces.<\/p>\n

This investment will help encourage increased adoption of zero-emission vehicles by providing residents with more options to charge their vehicles where they live, work and play.<\/p>\n

Federal funding is\u00a0<\/em>provided through\u00a0<\/em>Natural Resources Canada\u2019s\u00a0Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program<\/a>, which is a part of the government\u2019s ambitious target to have all new passenger vehicles sold in Canada be zero-emission vehicles by 2040.<\/p>\n

The Government of Canada has provided over 0 million to help make EVs more affordable and to support the establishment of a coast-to-coast network of fast chargers as well as charging in more localized areas, such as retail stores, apartment buildings, on-street and workplaces.<\/p>\n

This investment also includes establishing hydrogen stations in metropolitan centres. The infrastructure resulting from these investments will ensure that people can drive and charge their vehicles across Canada. Funding will also support the demonstration of next-generation charging technologies as well as the development of enabling codes and standards.<\/p>\n

The government continues to support green infrastructure projects that will create good jobs, advance Canada\u2019s green future and help us achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
