Region of Peel Sets Fees to Help Sustain Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Beginning September 6, 2022, user fees will be implemented across Regionally owned and operated electric vehicle charging stations in order to sustain the electric vehicle program, ensure equitable service for all users, and support the transition to a zero emissions vehicle future in Peel.

Each year, the electric vehicle charging stations cost an estimated $43,000 to operate. In addition, the Region has and continues to experience the challenge of drivers remaining plugged-in for extended durations after their battery has fully charged.

Implementing a user fee will help recover a portion of the annual operating costs. It will also enable the Region to serve more electric vehicles with existing infrastructure ensuring drivers move their vehicles after their battery is sufficiently charged.

These fees are aligned with Peel Region’s average residential electricity rates to promote continued electric vehicle uptake and charging station use.
