If you drive an electric vehicle (EV) or are in the market to buy one, it is now all that much easier to recharge in Aurora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, nearly 20 new chargers were installed at public facilities across Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 18 level two chargers Ivy Charging Park and Charge stations have been placed at Town Hall, the Aurora Family Leisure Complex, the Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex, Aurora Community Centre, Joint Operations Centre, and the Aurora Armoury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four additional charging stations are also set to be installed at Town Square (formerly Library Square) when the downtown revitalization project is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAddressing climate change has been a top priority for our Town and for this Council,\u201d said Mayor Tom Mrakas in a statement. \u201cBy increasing the number of charging stations in our community, and by providing faster charging options, we hope to see more people opting for greener vehicles in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also the vision of the Ivy Charging Network, who has partnered with the Town on this expansion, along with Natural Resources Canada\u2019s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A joint venture between Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation, Ivy is one of the Province\u2019s largest charging networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with the Town of Aurora to increase the accessibility of EV chargers in the community and further support their transition to a cleaner future,\u201d said Ivy General Manager Jesika Briones. \u201cIvy\u2019s reliable and wide-reaching network coverage will help EV drivers travel with confidence and ease to the places that matter most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new chargers, says the Town, will operate on a cost-recovery model \u201cwith a per hour charging rate competitive with the costs of other public charging stations in the GTA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis user fee will help offset the costs of electricity and maintenance of the stations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project, they add, is part of Aurora\u2019s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
