Electric vehicle charging station funding program

The EPCOR Go EV Funding Program in Ontario

The EPCOR Go EV Funding Program in Ontario is now CLOSED for applications. We would like to thank all our partner organizations.

We were proud to have been selected by the Government of Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicles Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) to work with local organizations to support investment in electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. We have completed the distribution of $1.7 million in ZEVIP funds, which means more than 200 electric vehicle chargers have been added to the South Georgian Bay area and surrounding communities from 2022-mid 2023.

The communities and organizations that were selected to receive funding are listed below. Both Level 2 and Level 3 chargers have been installed, giving electric vehicle owners the option for faster charging. In addition to distributing ZEVIP funding to selected applicants, EPCOR also provided project oversight of the installation of these EV charging stations.
