Invest $16M/year to triple the number of electric vehicle charging ports over the next decade

"Building EV charging network: Significant progress has been made in building the province’s public EV charging network but there is much more to do. A new $16 million per year investment will help us triple the number of charging ports in the province over the next decade. The BC Conservative cuts will stall progress in building this sustainable alternative to rising gasoline prices." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13
