Toronto Powers Up 500 EV Chargers in Push for Electric Future
The Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) and Toronto Hydro have achieved a significant milestone in the city’s electric mobility development by activating the 500th public electric vehicle (EV) charging station within Canada’s largest municipally owned network. The latest charger is located at Green P Carpark 504 on Willingdon Blvd., further broadening access citywide.
