Among the grant recipients is Koben Systems Inc. of Mississauga which has received more than $11 million to create a province-wide system of 193 Level 2 chargers and 144 Level 3 chargers. Bob Nichols, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation, confirmed that the province-wide network plan will include Level 3 chargers in Muskoka, although the exact locations have not been identified. There&#8217;s hope for Huntsville yet.<\/p>\n<p>The funding for the grants is coming from Ontario&#8217;s Green Investment Fund. Nearly 500 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations will be built at over 250 locations in Ontario in 2017. In a release, the MTO said that this expansion will \u201chelp address \u2018range anxiety,\u2019 a common concern of consumers regarding the distance electric vehicles can travel compared to traditional vehicles. By building a more robust network of public chargers across Ontario, electric vehicle owners can now plan longer trips with more confidence that a charging station is as readily available as a gas station is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The release added that the charging stations will be installed at a wide variety of locations, including McDonalds and Tim Horton\u2019s restaurants, and at numerous municipal properties and businesses across Ontario. Exact locations will be announced in coming months.<\/p>\n<p>The province received more than 200 applications for the program, totaling more than $165 million in funding requests.
