2024.IE16.5

Background

"Decarbonizing the transportation sector to meet the ambitious goals outlined in Toronto’s TransformTO Net Zero Strategy will require a robust, convenient, and reliable public electric vehicle (EV) charging network that supports other established city-wide sustainable transportation initiatives."

"Toronto has started laying a foundation for its network by establishing zoning rules, parking regulations, and bylaws that help define the appropriate use of public space in relation to EV charging. Additionally, Toronto has installed EV charging stations at on-street parking spaces, in Green P parking lots, and at City facilities. The City also provides financing support to encourage charging in existing residential buildings through its BetterHomesTO program, while requiring new residential and commercial buildings to install EV charging through the Toronto Green Standard (TGS)."
