Canada invests in new EV chargers in Nova Scotia
17 July 2021, 11:26:04

Nova Scotia Power is also contributing over $134,000 toward this initiative, bringing the total project cost to $234,969. Funded through Natural Resources Canada's Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program, all chargers will be available for use by fall 2022.
Canada has invested over $1 billion so far to make EVs more affordable and charging infrastructure more accessible. These investments have led to the establishment of a coast-to-coast network of fast chargers and installing chargers in localized areas. The government also provides incentives of up to $5,000 to help Canadians buy EVs and full tax write-offs for businesses purchasing them.
These investments support Canada's new mandatory target of 100% zero-emission light-duty vehicle sales by 2035. Driving down transportation emissions is critical to achieving Canada's ambitious climate change targets and requires a combination of investments and regulations to support Canadians and industry in this transition.
