Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative

Description

The Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative offers repayable contributions to support the construction of an electric vehicle (EV) fast charging, coast-to-coast network. The Program funding also supports natural gas infrastructure along key freight corridors and hydrogen infrastructure in metropolitan centres.

Budgets 2016 and 2017 provided $96.4M over six years (April 2016 to March 2022) to the Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative (“the Program”) to establish a coast-to-coast network of fast-charging stations along the national highway systems, natural gas refuelling stations along key freight corridors and hydrogen refuelling stations in major metropolitan areas.
