October 3, 2025 Halifax, Nova Scotia Natural Resources Canada
Canada is making it easier for families and businesses to switch to an electric vehicle (EV) by expanding access to EV charging infrastructure across Atlantic Canada.
Today, Kody Blois, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, on behalf of the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced over $5 million in federal funding for five projects through Natural Resources Canada's Zero Emissions Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP).
New EV chargers are being installed at workplaces, public on-street parking and multi-unit residential buildings in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. The projects also include funding for two Indigenous organizations to install EV chargers serving a highway retail hub and the Halifax International Airport.
These investments are about more than infrastructure - they are about making Canadian's lives easier and ensuring Canada leads in building the clean economy of tomorrow.
