Ontario is bring electric vehicle fast chargers to the province’s busiest highways with the launch of the first six charging stations at ONroute’s in Napanee, Odessa, Cambridge South, Cambridge North, West Lorne and Dutton.
The deployment of rapid charging infrastructure will see ONroute locations along highways 401 and 400 equipped with at least two E-V chargers at each site. The EV chargers will be available to all drivers on a pay-per-use basis and will serve all vehicle types.
Daryl Kramp, MPP for Hastings-Lennox and Addington says This is good news for drivers, as they’ll now be able to charge up their vehicle at several ONroute locations across the province, including at either Odessa or Napanee. “Increasing choice and convenience for local drivers means that it will be easier for families to charge up for a road trip and make electric vehicle ownership a more realistic choice for families.”
The six rapid charging stations are part of a historic EV charger roll-out announced in December by the Ontario government, along with Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation’s joint Ivy Charging Network that will see a total of 69 fast chargers built at all 23 ONroute locations.
