This contribution will help install 98 electric vehicle (EV) charges across the province, including one right here in 91Ô­´´ Township at the 7-Eleven located at 20250 88th Ave.

Zero-emission road trips are easier than ever! Canada already has thousands of public chargers, and we’re dubbing this because we’ll be announcing hundreds more.

7-Eleven Inc. received $300,000 of the total investment to install six EV fast chargers in Vancouver, 91Ô­´´, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Kamloops and Victoria.

The remaining chargers will be installed at various locations throughout Vancouver.

Reaching 100% vehicle sales by 2035 means we need strong charging infrastructure now and tomorrow. We’ve invested to build thousands of chargers across Canada, and we have thousands more on the way.

Transportation accounts for 25 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, according to the federal body. They are working to achieve a target of 100 per cent zero-emission light-duty vehicle sales by 2035.

The new EV chargers will be installed sometime between now and November 2022.
