VICTORIA If you drive an electric vehicle (EV) in Greater Victoria, the free ride will be coming to an end as user fees are coming to some vehicle charging stations next year. Starting in January 2021, the City of Victoria and the District of Saanich will charge $1 per hour to use municipally owned EV charging stations. It’s a move that is supported by a group that represents more than 1,000 electric car owners in the Capital Region. “If we are driving a vehicle on the road we need to pay for our transportation,” said Victoria Electric Vehicle Association president David Grove. “With electric vehicles, the maintenance costs are very low, so to pay for a bit for fuel – I think is a reasonable ask.”
“It was expected and the cost is reasonable,” Grove said as Victoria and Saanich prepare to levy $1-per-hour charges and time limits to users of its stations around the region early in the new year. “There’s a hope that the revenue will help to build out the charging network quicker and offset some of the costs.” Saanich will launch the pay-for-power charge on Jan. 4. The municipality has 75 public EV charging stations. Of those, the district owns and operates 12 Level 2 stations at its four recreation centres, Cedar Hill Golf Course and municipal hall. It plans to build 20 more at municipal facilities, recreation centres and parks.
