Ontario's transportation network is changing quickly. In an effort to reduce harmful greenhouse gases from vehicle emissions, municipalities are promoting the expansion of electric vehicles and public stations to charge them.
In 2016, the County of Simcoe received its first round of provincial funding to install Level 3 electric vehicle charging stations. Fully electric vehicles with a Level 3 fast-charging port can charge at these stations. Note that Tesla drivers require a Tesla adapter.
In 2021, the County along with member municipalities, received funding to install an additional 26 electric vehicle charging stations.
