In December, the Ministry of Transportation announced $20 million in funding to build a network of electric vehicle charging stations across the province and the Mall\u2019s ownership group \u2013 Effort Trust \u2013 was among the applicants. As of today (April 11), they hadn\u2019t received news but an announcement is expected sometime this month.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong> <broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>The program \u2013 Electric Vehicle Chargers Ontario (EVCO) \u2013 would provide up to 100 per cent of the capital costs for the purchase and installation of eligible chargers, but not maintenance or operation.<\/p>\n<p>The Town of Huntsville would also like to install electric vehicle chargers on municipal land. At the March 30 General Committee meeting, Councillors approved a report which would enable Town staff to apply for future funding for the charging stations. Recommended locations are the Canada Summit Centre and the Minerva Street parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>If funding is received, the Town could either retain full ownership of the stations and fund their maintenance and operations via a pay-per-use fee, or they could work with a partner who would cover those costs while the Town supplies the space for the charging station.<\/p>\n<p>The full cost of an electric vehicle charging station, including equipment and installation, runs between $50,000 to $100,000 depending on the location and type of charger, said Rebecca Francis, the Town\u2019s Sustainability Coordinator. One station typically charges two vehicles at a time, with one plug being a Level 3 Direct Current Fast Charger (DCFC) which will charge a vehicle to 80-90 per cent in under an hour, and the other plug a slower Level 2 charger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea is that you can run in, grab your groceries or shop downtown and then you are good to go,\u201d said Francis. \u201cHuntsville is a great place for this because it\u2019s at end of (the car\u2019s) range so they could stop here and then be ready to go to the cottage fully topped up.\u201d The only other station between here and Toronto currently is in Barrie.<\/p>\n<p>Electric vehicle owners generally pay either a flat fee or a metered fee for the service, often via an app on a smartphone. In some programs, charging is free thanks to sponsorships with utility companies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElectric vehicles are only going to become more popular,\u201d said Francis. \u201cThe province has incentives for purchasing these vehicles. If the Mall is successful in receiving funding, it\u2019s fantastic that we\u2019ll have an EV charging station in Huntsville whether it\u2019s on municipal lands or not. It\u2019s a great location.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Liked this story?
