VANCOUVER — Drivers of electric vehicles in British Columbia can expect another 500 public charging stations to come online, adding to more than 5,000 available across the province.

A statement from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation says it's providing $30 million from this year's budget to expand B.C.'s"electric highway."

The ministry says the public charging program is prioritizing applications for projects that fill geographic gaps in the existing charging network, aiming to ensure every community in B.C. has access to a fast-charging station. The CleanBC Go Electric Public Charger Program provides up to half the cost of equipment and installation to a maximum of $80,000 per fast-charging station.
