Minden Hills council is supporting a recommendation from the County of Haliburton that would see the township install electric vehicle charging stations at its administration office and the arena.
As part of its climate change mitigation plan, the County of Haliburton has applied to funding programs to help purchase charging stations for the county and its four, lower-tier municipalities.
As for the funding framework, a report from county climate change co-ordinator Korey McKay contained two options. One option entails using The Ivy Network, jointly owned by Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation. Under that option there would be no upfront costs for municipalities, but an average annual servicing fee of $3,300 for each two-portal station. The report indicated service would range between $2,400 and $4,000, depending on the location of the charging stations.
