The province is adding more than 250 electric vehicle charging locations, and three of them are in Hamilton.

The Ministry of Transportation announced today that it will add 500 electric vehicle charging stations at more than 250 locations. In Hamilton, those are as follows:

Tim Horton's, 473 Concession St.

Tim Horton's, 1470 Highway 6.

Centre on Barton, 1275 Barton St. E.

There are also two new locations planned for Burlington, which are as follows:

IKEA Burlington, 1065 Plains Rd. E.

Appleby Crossing, 2435 Appleby Line.

The network will be in service by March 31, 2017. The province will spend $20 million through the Green Investment Fund for the new infrastructure.

The change will help address "range anxiety," the province said in a media release. So electric car users will be able to travel around Ontario's urban centres knowing there's a charging station nearby.
