Survey: Help plan Bruce County’s electric vehicle charging network

BRUCE COUNTY – Bruce County and key regional partners are developing a preliminary regional electric vehicle charging network strategy and are exploring ways to support more people travelling to, and within, our area in an electric vehicle (EV).

Have your say! Whether you currently drive an EV or not, the county appreciates your feedback on a public survey, available until Tuesday, Feb. 15.

Visit the Bruce County website, under “What’s News” and scroll down to “news.” Click on survey one if you drive an EV, and survey two if you don’t currently own an EV.

Bruce County has expanded its commitment to a clean energy future by installing electric vehicle  (EV) charging stations at the Bruce County administration centre (30 Park Street, Walkerton), the  Peninsula Hub (268 Bedford Street, Wiarton), and the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre (33  Victoria Street, Southampton), with more planned for the future.

Since the 2018 installation of the first EV charger at the Bruce County administration centre in Walkerton, more than 7,250 kg of greenhouse gas emissions have been avoided. This is the equivalent to planting 193 trees and letting them grow for 10 years.\
