Zero-emission vehicle infrastructure funding
Funds are available to support the deployment of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure. Reliable and extensive charging infrastructure is critical to helping Canadians make the switch to ZEVs. With an ambitious target of 100% of new passenger vehicle sales being ZEVs by 2035, this infrastructure is helping communities across Canada to accelerate towards a sustainable and prosperous future.
