Electric Vehicle Charge Station Maps
Why Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are energy efficient and:
- EVs don't burn fossil fuels, improving air quality
- PHEVs, while they do have a gas engine to extend beyond their electric driving range, are still considered zero emission vehicles
- EVs and PHEVs both reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- EVs and PHEVs both save money on fuel costs
- EVs and PHEVs both support investment in the new economy of Clean Energy
The City of Nanaimo supports the use of zero-emission vehicles and continues to add electric vehicles to its fleet. The City owns and maintains multiple Level 2 (240V) charging stations that can be found at a variety of City parks and facilities.
