The City of Morden will be installing several Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers in the coming weeks.
"The City of Morden applied for funding through the Manitoba Climate Action Fund, and also through the Manitoba Motor Vehicle Dealers Association, and we received $156,000 towards these EV chargers," explained Mayor Nancy Penner who noted they are now in the midst of installing those units.
- One, 200 watt fast charger and Two Level 2 unit chargers are being installed at the Access Event Centre
- Two Level 2 unit chargers are being installed at 500 Stephen Street
The Manitoba Motor Dealers Association's Lead The Charge program provides up to a 50% rebate for EV chargers and installation, with the goal of adding 300 new EV chargers across the province.
"We hope to have them installed by late fall," she noted. "This will, again, give tourists with electric cars visiting the area the ability to access charging stations."
