Committee of the Whole

• Staff presented the Regional Electric Vehicle Charging Network Strategy. The strategy was developed in partnership with Huron, Bruce, Dufferin, Perth, and Wellington counties as well as the City of Guelph. The strategy recommends 17 locations for Level 3 Fast Charging stations in the region, including three in Grey County in the communities of Durham, Flesherton and Thornbury. The strategy also recommends contracting the installation and operation to a third-party provider to avoid high installation costs up front and to avoid long-term operation and maintenance costs.  Report
