This is the best summary I could come up with:
Most of the people who come to visit Debbie Nightingale's Ontario farm are lured in by a chance to get up close and personal with her herd of friendly goats.
"We have people who come on a regular basis because they know we have these," Nightingale said, gesturing to the two-port EV-charging station she installed last year with the help of a federal tourism recovery grant.
As part of the federal government's net-zero targets for the future, it is aiming for all new light-duty car and passenger truck sales to be zero emission by 2035, which will require a nationwide network of public charging ports.
"This is 100 per cent an industry thing, and I really don't have a lot of patience for the argument β in particular from the auto sector these days β in the past couple of years about the government should do it."
Retrofitting condos and apartment buildings to be EV friendly can cost anywhere from hundreds of dollars to thousands if the transformers feeding the complex need to be upgraded, said Olivier Trescases, a professor at the University of Toronto and a Canada Research Chair in Power Electronic Converters.
"Obviously, Toronto doesn't have as many EV charging stations as they want," said Ashling Evans, general manager of real estate at Amexon Development Corporation, the company behind Central Park.
