Good news for electric drivers in or travelling through northern Ontario.
The Ivy Charging Network has announced its expanding its fast-charger network with seven locations across the north.
They will be in Dryden, Fort Frances, Atikokan, Hearst, Terrace Bay, Geraldton and Timmins.
It’s a joint venture with Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation.
Ivy Charging Network Co-President Theresa Dekker says “It’s really important to both OPG and Hydro One. Together our companies both have a long history in the province and have been working to support our local communities.”
Dekker adds they are committed to powering Ontario with clean, reliable energy while innovating for the future.
She note the northern Ontario charging stations are part of a province-wide expansion.
“We’re going to have about 25 locations open by the end of this month and then by the end of next year we’re going to have another 70 locations. One of the things we’ve been very thoughtful about is having them, on average, to be about 100 kilometres apart. That way people feel like they can get anywhere in the province whether its going north, south, east or west.”
The Dryden location will at Canadian Tire on Highway 17 and should be in place shortly.
