Electrifying vehicles in the Muskoka region is now easier than ever with enhanced charging options available.
New EV Charging Stations Enhance Bracebridge's Green Initiatives
In a move to make electric vehicle (EV) travel more convenient, Bracebridge, Muskoka, has installed four new EV charging stations. The installation, carried out by Lakeland EV Charging, was announced through social media by town staff and inaugurated in June 2023.
The charging station, located at 98 Pine Street in Bracebridge, is designed to cater to a wide range of EV drivers, including those heading to the cottage in electric cars. This development is significant as it contributes to the town's climate action and energy reduction plans, outlined in the New Leaf Climate Action Plan and Community Energy and Emissions Reduction Plan.
Meanwhile, a charging quad has been set up at the Pines Long-Term Care Home in Muskoka. This facility is intended to support residents and visitors making the switch to electric cars. While it may help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as nearly 70% of local emissions come from cars, it is not explicitly mentioned to be part of the town's aforementioned plans.
The charging quad at the Pines Long-Term Care Home does not specify the types of charging ports available, but it includes two J1772 (standard) ports and two NACS (Tesla) ports. This diversity in charging options makes it accessible to a variety of EV drivers.
Town officials have stated that the charging quad at the Pines Long-Term Care Home is part of their efforts to protect Muskoka's environment and invest in infrastructure for the future. Additionally, it could strengthen Muskoka's role as a sustainable tourism destination, attracting more environmentally-conscious visitors.
However, the charging quad at the Pines Long-Term Care Home is not explicitly stated to be designed for use by individuals heading to the cottage in electric cars, unlike the charging station in Bracebridge.
The installation of these EV charging stations in Bracebridge, Muskoka, is a step forward in the town's commitment to a greener future. As more people switch to electric cars, the convenience and accessibility of charging stations will become increasingly important. These new installations are a testament to Bracebridge's dedication to sustainable living and its vision for a cleaner, more energy-efficient future.
