Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

We’re excited to announce that 24 new on-street charging stations are now ready to use. The charging stations are at 12 locations in the urban area:

• Adjacent to 6 Oak Street
• 113 Beechwood Avenue
• 122 Daly Avenue
• 170 Primrose Avenue
• 186 Main Street
• 190 Richmond Road
• 245 Crichton Street
• 301 Laurier Avenue East
• 930 Wellington Street West
• 283 Cyr Avenue
• 118 Cartier Street
• Adjacent to 1551 Lycée Place

Each site is equipped with two level 2 chargers which provide 35 to 45 km per hour of charging. Users will be charged $2 per hour. Signage that identifies the spaces are for charging electric vehicles only is planned for spring once the ground has thawed.

The charging stations are part of the City’s efforts to support the uptake of electric vehicles in Ottawa.

This project was completed with support from the federal government under the Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program, and Envari, an affiliate of Hydro Ottawa.

The City has recently installed charging stations at the following City facilities:

• Two Level 2 charging stations at Chapel Hill Park and Ride
• A fast charging station at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex - Orléans
• Two Level 2 charging stations at the Lois Kemp (Blackburn) Arena

From November 30 to January 9 residents were invited to suggest locations for where they would like to see an electric vehicle charging station. Thank you to everyone who provided input. Over 200 locations were suggested. The maps below show the approximate locations that were suggested.
