The Municipality of Brockton has a set of new electric vehicle charging stations.
The EV chargers, which are all Chargepoint Level 2 charging stations, were provided through Westario Power and Bruce Power Net Zero’s Lead the Charge E Infrastructure in Local Communities initiative, in collaboration with the Municipality.
One of the new charging stations is at the Walkerton Community Centre. The other two are located at the Elmwood and Cargill Community Centres.
The Bruce Power and Westario partnership helps municipalities in Bruce, Grey, and Huron to increase the availability of EV chargers.
“Westario Power believes in taking action and demonstrating leadership to support clean energy initiatives, such as through Lead the Charge,” said Walter Malcolm, President and CEO of Westario Power. “Through the collective leadership demonstrated by our partners in enhancing the EV infrastructure in rural Ontario, we are contributing to growth and community wellbeing.”
“Lead the Charge is an important piece of Bruce Power’s overall commitment to achieving net zero on our site and in our surrounding communities,” added Mike Rencheck, President and CEO of Bruce Power. “We are proud to partner with Westario Power and our local municipalities to ensure the necessary infrastructure is available as our province and country move towards zero emission vehicles in the next decade.”
“It is great to see the chargers are ready for use at three significant locations across our municipality,” noted Chris Peabody, Mayor of Brockton. “Lead the Charge has proven to be a worthwhile partnership that is helping our municipality, and our residents think about electric vehicles as a key solution and viable option moving into the future.”
