Federal Government Invests in 14 EV Infrastructure Projects Totalling 1,600 Chargers
April 7, 2026
The federal government announced $10.6 million for 14 EV charging infrastructure projects across Canada at the EV & Charging Expo in Toronto. These projects will install more than 1,600 chargers across Canada.
Additionally, Plug’n Drive will continue to offer a cross-country EV test drive tour with an additional $1.1 million in funding from Natural Resources Canada. The tour will give Canadians, especially in small and medium-sized communities where EV adoption is lower, the chance to learn about how an EV can fit into their lifestyle, compare multiple EV models in one place, ask questions and learn from EV experts.
