IKEA Canada announced the national rollout of electric vehicle charging stations at each of its 12 stores across Canada. The rollout, set to be completed by late August 2015, is the first national installation of EV charging stations in Canada by a retailer at all of its locations. Charging will be provided to customers at no cost, on a first come first serve basis. IKEA has partnered with Sun Country Highway on the project which includes the installation of two SCH-60 “Level 2” 60-amp charge stations. “Installing electric vehicle charging stations at all IKEA Canada stores reinforces our commitment to sustainability,” said Stefan Sjostrand, President of IKEA Canada. IKEA Canada stores are located close to major transportation corridors, and a typical visit to an IKEA store gives enough time for an EV driver to top-up their battery, enhancing their travel range and preventing “range anxiety”. “Electric vehicle charging stations are an important step on IKEA Canada’s continuing journey towards sustainability,” said Brendan Seale, Sustainability Manager for IKEA Canada. “The transportation sector is one of the largest sources of carbon and climate-related emissions, and our EV charging stations will help to encourage our customers to adopt lower carbon travel options to get to and from IKEA stores.” Globally, IKEA Group and IKEA Foundation have recently committed an additional EUR 1 billion for climate change action. The EUR 1 billion total is made up of an IKEA Group commitment of EUR 600 million for investment in renewable energy and a EUR 400 million IKEA Foundation funding commitment to support communities most impacted by climate change.
