BURLINGTON, ON

Conservation Halton has installed 18 new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at five of its Conservation Areas. These installments mark a significant step forward in supporting sustainable transportation options and enhancing Conservation Halton’s park visitor experiences across the watershed.

Level 2 J-1772 7.2kW FLO EV charging spots.

The new charging stations are available to visitors of Area 8, Hilton Falls, Kelso, Mountsberg, and Mount Nemo Conservation Areas. Two EV charging stations were previously installed at Conservation Halton’s administrative building. By increasing access to EV infrastructure in rural Halton, Conservation Halton is helping reduce barriers to low-emission travel while encouraging more environmentally conscious recreation.

All funds collected through Conservation Halton’s EV charging stations are directed to the Conservation Halton Foundation to help maintain the parks, protect biodiversity, and support education programs for the local community.

“The charging stations in our parks are more than convenience. We’re aligning our infrastructure with our values,” said Craig Machan, Parks & Operations Director at Conservation Halton. “Providing EV charging spots make it easier for park guests to make sustainable choices while enjoying nature, and they represent an important investment in the future of our parks.”

Conservation Halton’s 20 EV charging stations are partially funded through Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program. The EV chargers and software at Conservation Halton’s administrative building were generously donated by Eaton.
