The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) has been awarded a grant for $162,222 from the Provincial CleanBC Communities Fund to install 10 new public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations within the regional district, as part of a larger investment in EV chargers across mid-Vancouver Island. The new Level 2 charging stations will be installed across the RDN by the end of 2022 to help fill existing gaps in the mid-island area’s charging network and to expand zero emission transportation options for RDN residents, businesses and visitors.
All charging stations will be installed at accessible public facilities and will prioritize public access. Charging stations will be installed at the following locations, already approved by the RDN Board:
