A major federal investment for NB Power and electric vehicles.
$350,000 is being invested with NB Power to install 52 EV chargers for its fleet of electric vehicles and workplace charging for employees.
This is funded through Natural Resources Canada’s Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program.
All chargers will be available by February 2024.
Ginette Petitpas Taylor, the minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and MP for Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe, says, “We’re investing in electric vehicle infrastructure in New Brunswick, and throughout Canada, to provide national leadership on climate change while growing our economy. With over 50 new EV chargers in Moncton and across New Brunswick, we are transforming how Canadians get to where they need to go. This is how we build a better, more prosperous, and green future for Canada.”
This funding was announced today in Moncton as a part of #EVWeek in Canada.
Since 2015, Canada has invested $1 billion to make EVs more affordable and chargers more accessible for Canadians.
Federal rebates of up to $5,000 have also helped more Canadians make the switch to an EV.
