Four new electric vehicle charging stations have been installed in the underground parking garage of the Enercare Centre, reports Exhibition Place.
The activation of the charging stations is a joint venture of Exhibition Place and its naming partner, Enercare Inc., which committed to the project following last year’s naming sponsorship of the Enercare Centre convention facility in Toronto. Their installation comes just in time for the National Home Show and Canada Blooms, North America’s largest home and garden show.
The electric vehicle charging stations are EVLink Level 2 units. They are capable of a full charge in four to eight hours. Located in the east, west and south corners of the garage, the bays are marked with large graphic EVCS signage.
