Electric vehicle charging coming to 25 Ontario Canadian Tire Gas+ locations
TORONTO — Electric vehicle charging stations are being added to 25 Canadian Tire Gas+ locations in Ontario, a first for the company.
AddEnergie Technologies says the stations, which start rolling out early next year, join the 2,500 stations along its FLO Canadian charging network.
Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr, who participated in Monday’s announcement in Toronto, says the federal government will be contributing nearly half of the $1.8 million investment through a loan.
The funding is part of the government’s commitment to provide $62.5 million for fast-charging stations for electric vehicles as well as natural gas and hydrogen refuelling stations along key transportation corridors.
