Dear J. Gallagher:
RE: Motion Regarding Opportunities for Free Level 3 EV
Charging Stations and Revenue Opportunities for Durham
Region, Our File: C00
Council of the Region of Durham, at its meeting held on November
27, 2024, passed the following resolution:
Whereas electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly becoming a critical
component of sustainable transportation and the reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions in Ontario;
Whereas the availability of free Level 3 EV charging stations in
municipalities can support the Region's efforts to encourage EV
adoption, enhance environmental sustainability, and improve air
quality for residents;
Whereas free Level 3 EV charging stations provide an attractive
amenity that encourages both local and regional tourism, fostering
economic development by encouraging drivers to visit local
businesses during charging stops;
Whereas other municipalities have successfully partnered with
private sector companies to implement free EV charging solutions,
thereby benefiting from potential revenue streams and public -private
partnership opportunities;
Therefore Be It Resolved That:
Durham Region Council directs staff to explore partnership
opportunities with Ontario providers that provide free level 3
charging stations;
If you require this information in an accessible format, please call 1-800-372-1102 extension 2097.

2. Staff report back by Q2 of 2025 with their findings on potential
partnerships with private sector entities, potential locations for
charging stations, and opportunities for introducing free Level 3
charging infrastructure;
3. The analysis includes an assessment of possible revenue -
generation models such as advertising, corporate sponsorships,
and innovative technologies that would offset installation and
maintenance costs while providing economic benefits to the
Region;
4. Staff provide a timeline for implementation, should Council
approve proceeding with any identified projects; and
5. This motion be circulated to all Durham Region municipalities.
