The Government of Ontario has announced that Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers are coming to two locations in Algonquin Park, including the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre and the Portage Store.”
The Ontario government has been accepting applications to build and operate publicly accessible charging stations on government-owned property, including highway rest areas, carpool parking lots and tourist destinations such as Ontario Parks.
More than a dozen sites across the province, the majority being in northern Ontario, have been identified, with the first EV chargers expected to be ready for use in 2025.
Through the EV ChargeON program, the Ontario government is investing $91 million to make it easier to access EV chargers across the province and provide small, rural and Indigenous communities with the opportunity to switch to EVs. Currently, there are approximately 3,550 public EV charging stations with roughly 9,650 Level 2 and Level 3 (high-powered) EV charging ports in Ontario.
