Through its Charged for Change program, presented in partnership with Earth Day Canada, Aviva Canada will cover 100 percent of project costs, estimated at just under $80,000, for the purchase, supply and installation of two dual-plug Flo CoRe+ MAX Level 2 Charging Stations. The cost estimates include a single-pedestal Level 2 charging station with dual-plugs, a new hydro-pole if required, new overhead lighting and all signage and protective infrastructure for the charging station. The stations will be installed at Shelter Point and Klah Ah Men Lund Gazebo Regional Parks.

FLO’s Level 2 chargers are compatible with major North American EV models (either directly or with a connector), and are accessible by downloading the FLO App or other ChargePoint roaming partner apps (EVgo, Ionity, Allego, Innogy, EVBox and others) or as a guest user by providing and email address and credit card number. The Flo EV charging station communicates wirelessly through a built-in cellular gateway, so no wired or fixed internet connection is required. Revenue generated from the use of the EV charging station will cover electricity costs and, depending on usage, may also cover the annual fees for the service. Expenses over and above revenue will be paid from the Regional Parks Services budget. Surplus revenue generated from the EV charging station will be returned to the Regional Parks Operating budget.

This project supports local tourism, economic development, and supports our strategic goals of minimizing our impact on the environment and climate, and improving infrastructure at our regional parks.

Staff are currently working with our funders to arrange delivery, and installation. This project page will be regularly updated as the project moves forward.
