| Initiatives to engage applicants and recipients | The program conducted extensive engagement with industry, associations, Provinces and Territories, and research and policy groups to help inform the scope of calls for proposals including: bilateral engagement with Provinces and Territories to identify priorities; leveraging pan-Canadian stakeholder consultations to confirm barriers and technological challenges for Electric Vehicle infrastructure; and outreach at national and international stakeholder conferences and fora. Requests for project proposals will be solicited from a broad range of eligible recipients such as industry, academia and consortia via open, advertised calls for expressions of interest (EOIs); and non-advertised direct requests for proposals resulting from the call for EOIs. |
