“Tesla applauds the government of Ontario’s commitment to investing in EV charging infrastructure. However, based on our experience in engaging with prospective EV drivers in Canada, the most significant challenge facing EV charging infrastructure at this stage in the market’s development is not with highway-side or other public charging, but with access to charging at home, in multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs),” Tesla’s November letter reads, in part.
In its lobbyist filing in January, Tesla says it wants to “ensure the efficient and consistent integration of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure with the transmission and distribution systems across the province.”
“Tesla’s intended outcome is to help accelerate the pace at which charging station new service connections are provided while minimizing connection costs, in order to increase the number of charging stations deployed in Ontario,” the automaker wrote.
