The City of Windsor is adding  22 new level two electric vehicle (EV) charging spaces citywide.

According to the city, there are 164 full electric vehicles and 241 plug-in hybrid vehicles registered in Windsor as of April 2021.

The new charging stations will be installed on municipal properties located at strategic locations throughout Windsor to make it easier and more convenient for drivers of electric and hybrid vehicles to charge up. Each of the 11 stations features a dual connector capable of charging two electric vehicles at once, for a total of 22 charging spaces.

During this initial stage, the service will be available to drivers free of charge and will allow administration to collect data to help determine the future needs of Windsor’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

The installation of all 11 stations is expected to be completed by March 2022 at the following locations:

• Municipal Garage 2, 406 Pelissier Street
• WFCU Centre, 8787 McHugh Street
• Capri Pizzeria Recreation Complex, 2555 Pulford Street
• Municipal Lot 5, 78 Riverside Drive West
• Municipal Lot 35, 1025 Elsmere Avenue
• Municipal Lot 34, 1 Festival Plaza
• Municipal Lot 4-1, 0 Lincoln Road at Ottawa Street
• Municipal Lot 10, 445 City Hall Square
• Mic Mac Park Complex, 1125 Prince Road

Previously, the City operated one EV charging station at the Windsor International Aquatic and Training Centre as part of a trial run.
