There’s a new addition at the Comox Community Centre.

The Town of Comox recently installed a new electric vehicle (EV) charging station at the centre; part of a mid-island grant from the CleanBC Communities Fund.

The Regional District of Nanaimo submitted the collaborative grant submission to help fill gaps in region-wide charging stations and expand zero-emission transportation operations.

With the installation of this new EV charging station, the Town oversees a total of 4; Town Hall, the Comox Centre Mall, Comox Fire Rescue, and now this new one at the Comox Community Centre.

The EV charging station has 2 ports and is connected to ChargePoint.

The current fees are $1 for the first 2 hours and then $2.00 for each additional hour.

Mayor Nicole Minions says the charging station helps support Council’s commitment to a climate action plan by taking steps to make it easier for residents to choose zero-emission transportation.
